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.
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.
3.6 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,

CynkoMet T-617
16
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.
3.7 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 should be placed on the rear
wall for slow-moving vehicles (1) as shown below (Fig. 2).

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. The chocks (1) should be planted only
under one wheel (2) (one front wheel and one on the back - Fig. 3).
Figure 3. The way of placing the chocks.
Before driving the trailer, check if the bolt of the rear wall has been secured.
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 8°. Moving the trailer
through grounds with steeper slopes may cause the trailer to tip over as a
result of loss of stability.

CynkoMet T-617
18
Each time, after finished work, drain the air reservoir in the pneumatic
installation. During frosts, freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic
system components.
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 drastic 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.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
Before each maneuver of reversing and start of dumping 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.
3.8 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:

CynkoMet T-617
19
use the trailer for purposes other than those described in the manual,
stay between the trailer and the tractor when the engine is running,
operating the machine by unauthorized persons, under aged persons or
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs,
stay on the machine during operation,
clean the machine during operation,
not maintaining a safe distance during the operation of the machine
including (reversing, driving, loading or unloading the trailer,
introduce structural changes without the consent of the manufacturer,
clean, carry out maintenance and technical checks of the trailer,
the presence of people or animals in areas invisible from the driver's position.
When presenting the residual risk, the spreader is treated as a machine,
which until the start of production was designed and manufactured
according to the current "state of the art".
3.9 Residual risk assessment.
When observing such recommendations as:
carefully reading the user manual.
prohibition of placing your hands in inaccessible and forbidden places,
prohibition on being on the machine during operation,
