When switching and disconnecting the machine from the tractor, you must
be careful.
Exceeding the permissible load can cause accidents on the road and damage
to the machine.
When cornering, you should take into account the inertia of the machine.
Before you start, check if the trailer has any loose parts
Within additional elements which are force operated (e.g. by hand), there are
places of crushing and shearing.
Malfunctioning of the trailer should be removed only when the engine of the
tractor is off and the ignition key is pulled out.
No one can stay one between the tractor and the trailer before the vehicle is
not be protected against self-running off through the parking brake (hand
brake) and wedges under the wheels.
The permissible transport speed 30 km / h cannot be exceeded.
It is forbidden to transport people or animals on the trailer
It is forbidden to enter the cargo box with an unsecured trailer.
The machine is designed to work on slopes up to 8 °.
Tipping of the load box can only be done on a level and stable surface.
When lifting the caret, keep a safe distance from overhead power lines.
Disconnection of the trailer from the tractor is not allowed with the load crate
lifted with the telescope cylinder.
Modifications can be made only with the permission of the manufacturer. The
basic condition for safety are original spare parts and components. Using
other parts may result in exclusion of liability of the manufacturer for resulting
consequences.

CynkoMet T-117
Page 14
Careless operation and maintenance of the trailer can injure the operator or
third parties and damage the tractor-trailer.
It is forbidden to use the machine by persons not qualified to drive
agricultural tractors, including underage persons and persons under the
influence of alcohol.
It is forbidden to use the trailer contrary to its purposes. The staff operating the
machine should strictly observe basic health and safety regulations.
Prior to each trailer's use check its technical condition, especially the condition of the
coupling system, drive system, brakes and signaling lights.
The machine is marked with information and warning inscriptions in the form of
stickers (Tab.1). The user is obliged to constantly take care of the readability of signs
and warning symbols on the machine. In the event of damage or destruction
replace them with new ones.

3.3 Road wheels
When working with the wheels, secure the spreader, in case of self-launching of
movement, using the parking brake and planting chocks under the wheels.
Repair work on the tires and wheels should be performed by using appropriate
tools.
After each installation of a wheel, tighten the nuts after the first 10 working hours,
then every 50 working hours to check their tightening (according to Tab.8).
The air pressure is to be checked regularly. Observe the recommended air pressure.
Dismantling the wheels can be carried out only in the case when the trailer is
not loaded.
Avoid damaged road surface, quick and variable maneuvers and high speed
during turns.
Tire valves are to be protected with caps to prevent penetration of impurities.
3.4 The pneumatic and hydraulic system
The hydraulic and pneumatic installations during operation are under high
pressure.
Regularly check the technical condition of the connections and the hydraulic
and pneumatic systems. Oil leaks and air leaks are unacceptable.
The shut-off valve in the hydraulic system of the lift limits the angle of the
load crate declination when tilting it sideways and backwards. The length of
the cable controlling that valve is set by the manufacturer and may not be
adjusted during use of the trailer.
In case of failure of the hydraulic or pneumatic installation, the trailer should
be out of operation until failure removal.
When connecting the hydraulic hoses to the tractor, pay attention that the
hydraulic system of the tractor and the trailer are not under pressure. If
necessary, reduce the residual pressure system.
In the case of injury with a strong jet of hydraulic oil should, immediately
consult a doctor. The hydraulic oil can penetrate the skin and cause an
infection. If the oil gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult
a doctor.

CynkoMet T-117
Page 16
In the event of contact of oil with skin, wash the dirty spot with soap and
water. Do not use organic solvents (petrol, kerosene).
Use the hydraulic oil recommended by the Manufacturer.
After replacing the hydraulic oil, the used oil must be disposed of Used oil or
one that has lost its properties should be stored in its original containers or in
substitute packages which are hydrocarbon-resistant. Replacement
containers must be carefully described and stored properly.
It is forbidden to store hydraulic oil in packaging designed for food storage.
Rubber hydraulic couplings must be replaced every 4 years regardless of
their technical condition. Hose replacement must comply with the technical
requirements of the manufacturer.

CynkoMet T-117

3.5 Maintenance.
Repair, maintenance and cleaning jobs and the removal of function faults is to be
performed with the engine of the tractor stopped and the ignition key taken out.
During maintenance of the raised loading crate, it is advisable to protect it before
falling with the help of the service support.
During maintenance and repair jobs use appropriate tools and protective clothing.
Oils and lubricants are to be carefully removed. The used oil and grease is to be
disposed of.
Before electrical, welding and working works on the electrical system,
separate the continuous supply of power to the electrical system of the
tractor.
Use the spare parts according to the catalog of spare parts.
Modifications can be made only with the permission of the manufacturer. The
basic condition for safety are original spare parts and components. Using
other parts may result in exclusion of liability of the manufacturer for resulting
consequences.
It is forbidden to weld galvanized elements because of the harmful vapors.
3.6 The principles of movement on public roads.
When driving on public roads you must adapt to the traffic regulations and
transport regulations in force in the country in which the trailer is operated.
Do not exceed the speed limit.
Adapt the speed to the prevailing road conditions and the degree of loading
of the trailer.
While driving on public roads the trailer should be equipped with a certified
or approved warning triangle. A triangular plate for slow-moving vehicles (1)
should be placed on the rear wall (Fig. 2).

CynkoMet T-117
Page 18
Fig. 2. The location of the placement of the triangular plate
distinguishing slow-moving vehicles.
The presence and transport of people in the trailer load crate is prohibited.
Before driving, make sure that the trailer is properly connected to the tractor
(in particular, check the safety pin hook).
It is forbidden to park on the slopes with a loaded and unsecured machine.
Securing is based on stopping with the service brake, parking brake and
planting chocks under the wheels. Chocks (1) should be planted only under
one wheel (2) (one on the front of the wheel and the other on the back - Fig.
3).

CynkoMet T-117
Page 19
Fig. 3. The way of placing the chocks
Before driving, check that the pins connecting the load crate with the lower
frame and pins of the walls are protected against accidental falling out. Check
the protection of the valve of the rear wall. Make sure that all walls and
superstructures are properly closed. Check for proper mounting of the
clamping cables.
Prior to each trailer's use, check its technical condition, especially in terms of
safety. In particular, check the technical condition of the coupling system,
drive system, brakes and signaling lights and hydraulic, pneumatic and
electrical connection elements.
Before driving, check that the parking brake is released and the braking force
regulator is set to the correct position (concerns pneumatic systems with a
manual, three-position regulation).
The trailer is adapted for driving on slopes up to a maximum inclination of 8°.
Moving the trailer through the grounds of the steeper slopes may cause the
trailer to tip over as a result of loss of stability.
Each time, after finished work, drain the air reservoir in the pneumatic
installation. During frosts, freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic
system components.

CynkoMet T-117
Page 20
The cargo protruding beyond the outline of the trailer should be marked in
accordance with the rules of the traffic.
It is prohibited to exceed the admissible trailer load. Exceeding the carrying
capacity may lead to equipment damage, loss of stability while driving,
scattering of the load and cause a hazard to third parties. The brake system
of the machine has been adapted to the total weight of the trailer, which if
exceeded will result in a substantial reduction in the effectiveness of the
brake.
The load on the trailer should be distributed evenly and must not impede
driving the set. The load must be secured so as not to have the ability to
move or fall over.
When reversing, it is recommended to use the assistance of another person.
During maneuvering, the person helping must keep a safe distance from the
danger zones and at all times be visible to the operator of the tractor.
If during reversing we are not using the help of a second person, before
commencing the maneuver, make sure that nobody is in the danger zone.
Before the start of the maneuver, use a sound signal.
NOTE!
NOTE!
Before each maneuver of reversing and start of dumping of
the material loaded on the load box, use of the beep signal 2
times is recommended in the tractor in order to inform
bystanders about the threat.
3.7 Description of residual risk.
Although the "CYNKOMET" Czarna Białostocka company takes
responsibility for the design and construction in order to eliminate the
danger, and made every effort to eliminate the risk of an accident, some
elements of risk during operation of the trailer are unavoidable. The residual
risk stems from the wrong behavior of the machine operator.
The greatest danger occurs when you do the following:
use the trailer for purposes other than those described in the manual,
stay between the trailer and the tractor when the tractor’s engine is running,
