Pronar RC2100-2 

SECTION 5 

5.34 

Parts to be lubricated with machine oil should be wiped with dry clean cloth and then a small 

quantity of oil should be applied to their surfaces (using oil can or brush). Wipe off excess oil. 

Change  of  grease  in  hub  bearings  should  be  entrusted  to  specialised  service  points, 

equipped  with  the  appropriate  tools.  According  to  the  recommendations  of  the  axle 

Manufacturer, dismantle the entire hub, remove the bearing and individual sealing rings. After 

careful washing and inspection, mount lubricated elements. If necessary, bearing and seals 

should  be  replaced  with  new  parts.  Lubrication  of  axle  bearings  shall  be  performed  at  least 

once  in  2  years  or  every  50,000 km.  In  the  event  of  intensive  use,  lubrication  should  be 

performed more frequently. 

Empty grease or oil containers should be disposed of according to the recommendations of 

the lubricant Manufacturer. 

 

 

During trailer operation, the user is obliged to observe lubrication instructions according 
to attached lubrication schedule. 

 

5.8

 

CONSUMABLES 

5.8.1  HYDRAULIC OIL 

Always  adhere  to  the  principle  that  the  oil  in  the  trailer  hydraulic  system  and  in  the  tractor 

hydraulic  system  are  of  the  same  type.  In  the  event  of  application  of  different  types  of  oil 

make certain that both hydraulic substances may be  mixed together. Application of different 

oil types may cause damage to trailer or tractor. In a new  machine, the hydraulic system is 

filled with L HL32 Lotos hydraulic oil. 

If it is necessary to change hydraulic oil for another oil, check the recommendations of the oil 

Manufacturer  very  carefully.  If  it  is  recommended  to  flush  the  system  with  the  appropriate 

preparation,  then  comply  with  these  recommendations.  Attention  should  be  given,  so  that 

chemical  substances  used  for  this  purpose  do  not  damage  the  materials  of  the  hydraulic 

system. During normal trailer use change of hydraulic oil is not necessary, but if required, this 

operation should be entrusted to a specialist service point.
