Cleaning the Trailer
After finishing work, thoroughly clean the Trailer and wash it with a jet of water.
Clean the machine before each long period of disuse, after carrying loads which can
cause corrosion, and whenever necessary. Clean the Trailer according to the following
guidelines.
The machine can only be cleaned in designated areas, when the ambient temperature
is above zero.
First, before you start the cleaning, open the sideboards and extensions of the Trailer
to remove any residual material which has been carried. Once that has been completed, start
cleaning the Trailer.
It is forbidden to use any kind of organic solvents or other substances, which could
damage varnished surfaces, or rubber and plastic components.
A pressure washer may be used to clean the Trailer. Before using a washer, read its
Instruction Manual. When using a pressure washer, keep a safe distance between the device's
nozzle and the surface of the Trailer. The minimum distance is 50 cm. When washing the
Trailer using a pressure washer, never point the water jet directly at the hydraulic and
pneumatic system components, i.e. hoses, valves, cylinders, plugs, electrical connections etc.,
or at the Trailer’s lubricating points, information and warning signs, and the rating plate.
Surfaces contaminated with oil or grease must be cleaned with agents intended for this
type of contamination. It is acceptable to use other degreasing agents designed for cleaning
this type of contamination. Before using them, it is recommended that you read the information
on how to use them to clean a particular surface. After degreasing a contaminated surface,
wash it with water and a detergent which is intended for this purpose.
