SECTION 5 

5.2

 

5.1 PRELIMINARY INFORMATION 

When using the slurry tanker, regular inspections of its technical condition and the 

performance of maintenance procedures are essential, which keep the machine in good 

technical condition. In connection with this the user of the slurry tanker is obliged to perform 

all the maintenance and adjustment procedures defined by the Manufacturer. 

Repairs during the warranty period may only be performed by authorised service points. 

Detailed procedures and extents of functions are described in this section, which the user 

may perform with his own resources. In the event of unauthorised repairs, changes to factory 

settings and other actions, which are not regarded as possible for the slurry tanker operator 

to perform, the user shall invalidate the warranty. 

5.2 SERVICING WHEEL AXLE 

5.2.1 PRELIMINARY 

INFORMATION 

Work connected with the repair, change or regeneration of axle components should be 

entrusted to specialist establishments, having the appropriate technology and qualifications 

for this type of work. 

The responsibilities of the user are limited to: 

  Inspection and adjustment of loose play of axle bearings, 

  mounting and dismounting wheel, inspection of wheel tightening, 

  checking air pressure, evaluating technical condition of wheels and tyres. 

  mechanical brakes adjustment, 

  change of parking brake cable and adjustment of cable tension. 

Procedures connected with:
