5.8 STORAGE
Trailer should be kept in closed or roofed building.
If the machine will not be used for a long time, it is essential to protect it from adverse
weather, especially rust and accelerated tyre deterioration. During this time trailer must be
unloaded. Trailer should be very carefully washed and dried. Corroded places should be
protected using undercoat paint and then painted with surface paint according to colour
scheme.
In the event of prolonged work stoppage, it is essential to lubricate all elements regardless of
the period of the last lubrication process - does not apply to changing oil in gearing units.
Chains should be taken off and carefully washed if suitable for further use, reinstalled and
smeared generously with grease.
Wheel rims and tyres should be carefully washed and dried. During longer storage of unused
trailer it is recommended that every 2 to 3 weeks the machine may be moved a bit so that the
place of contact of tyres with ground is changed. 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 appropriate value.
Weigher indicator panel must be kept in a dry room together with electrical supply lead.
