Trailer should be cleaned depending on requirements and before longer idle periods (e.g.
before winter period). Wash trailer each time after unloading the material which may cause
corrosion of trailer components. Before using pressure washer the user is obliged to acquaint
himself with the operating principles and recommendations concerning safe use of this
equipment.
Trailer cleaning guidelines
•
Carefully clean load remains from the load platform (sweep out or blow out with
compressed air).
•
To clean the trailer, use only clean running water or water with a cleaning
detergent additive with neutral pH.
•
Using pressure washer increases washing effectiveness, but particular care must
be taken during work. During washing, washer nozzle may not be closer than 50
cm from the surface being cleaned.

0
C.
•
Do not direct water stream directly at system elements and equipment of the
trailer i.e. brake cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, lights, electrical connections,
information and warning decals, identification plate, conduit connections,
lubrication points etc. Great water jet pressure may damage these elements.
During washing, try not to wet load platform planks.
•
For cleaning and maintenance of plastic coated surfaces it is recommended to
use clean water or special preparations designed for this purpose.
•
Do not apply organic solvents, preparations of unknown origin or other
substances, which may cause damage to lacquered, rubber or plastic surfaces. In
the event of doubt it is recommended to make a test on an unseen surface area.
