Trailer should be cleaned depending on requirements and before longer idle periods (e.g.
before winter period). 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
•
Before cleaning the trailer open the tailgate. Carefully clean load remains from the
load box (sweep out or blow out with compressed air), especially where tailgate
and hinged wall join together.
•
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.
•
Water temperature should not exceed 55
0
C.
•
Do not direct water stream directly at system and equipment elements of trailer
i.e. control valve, braking force regulator, brake cylinders, hydraulic cylinders,
pneumatic, electric and hydraulic plugs, lights, electrical connections, information
and warning decals, identification plates, conduit connections, spring leaves and
lubrication points etc. Great water jet pressure may cause mechanical damage to
these elements.
•
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.
•
Surfaces smeared with oil or grease should be cleaned by application of benzene
or other degreasing agents and then washed with clean water with added
detergent. Comply with recommendations of the Manufacturer of cleaning agents.
