6. PERIODIC INSPECTION
6.1. LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is one of the most critical factors that condition
good performance of individual assemblies and mechanisms of the
trailer.
Compliance to the manufacturer's guidelines for lubrication
significantly reduces the risk of damage or premature wearing of
individual parts.
Follow these rules when lubricating:
•
Clean the grease nipple before feeding the grease;
•
Feed the lubricant until fresh lubricant comes out of the gaps
(through which the used lubricant is pushed out first);
•
When finishing the lubrication, leave some lubricant on the nipple
head;
•
Use oil to lubricate threaded joints, lever joints and similar parts of
the trailer;
•
Inspect the lubrication of wheel hub bearings each year; add or
replace the bearing lubricant;
•
when replacing the lubricant, remove the hub, remove the used
lubricant, inspect the bearings' condition (replace with new ones
if necessary); after applying the fresh lubricant, adjust the bearing
play.
Use only quality bearing lubricants. Never drive
without the hub cap; otherwise penetration by dirt
(sand) will damage the wheel bearings.

Other lubrication points:
•
Periodically lubricate movable parts of locks, hinges and articulated
joints;
•
Pressure-feed the lubricant with a grease gun through clean nipples;
•
Regularly lubricate movable parts of brakes (levers and pins);
•
Lubricate the brake shoe axes only when necessary and only with a
small amount of lubricant.
6.2. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
The transport capacity and long operating life of the farming
trailer can only be achieved if the machine is properly and reasonably
operated within its design and functional capacities.
Even a slight negligence in operation may result in severe
consequences. A timely discovered fault is easy to remove at a
minimum cost and effort, while producing the maximum effect.
Faults of the trailer can only be discovered soon if regular, periodic
cleaning and thorough inspection is carried out.
Hence clean the trailer frequently to observe any damage and
faults.
Also carry out periodic technical inspection of the trailer.
Lubricate the trailer according the guidelines for lubrication.
Store the trailer in a sheltered area to protect it from weather
conditions and deterioration.
In order to preserve its proper performance, the trailer must be
maintained, readily repaired and thoroughly supervised during its
operating life.
