5.8 STORAGE
•
Trailer should be kept in a closed or roofed building.
•
If the machine will not be used for a long time, it is essential to protect it from
adverse weather conditions, especially those which initiate corrosion of steel,
have aggressive impact on anticorrosion coating and accelerate tyre ageing.
During this time the machine must be unloaded. Trailer should be very carefully
washed and dried.
•
Corroded places should be cleaned of rust, degreased and protected using
undercoat paint and then painted with surface paint according to colour scheme.
•
In the event of a prolonged storage, it is essential to lubricate all components
regardless of the date of the last lubrication.
•
Wheel rims and tyres should be carefully washed and dried. During a longer
storage of unused trailer it is recommended that the machine should be moved a
bit once every 2 - 3 weeks in order to change the place of contact of tyres with the
ground. The tyres will not be deformed and maintain proper geometry. Also, tyre
pressure should be inspected from time to time, and if necessary pressure should
be increased to the appropriate value.
