Slurry tankers Pronar T314, Pronar T315 and Pronar T316 are designed for transporting,
pumping over and spreading liquid substances such as liquid manure, water (not for food
processing), municipal wastewater. The machines can be used in fieldwork and on the farm.
The slurry tankers are not designed for handling highly acidic and highly saline liquids.
The machine is constructed according to current safety requirements and engineering
standards. The brake system and the light and indicator system meet the requirements of
road traffic regulations. The maximum speed of the slurry tanker on public roads is 30 km/h in
Poland (pursuant to Road Traffic ACT OF JUNE 20TH 1997, ART. 20). In the countries
where the machine is used, the limits stipulated by the road traffic legislation in force in a
given country must be observed. The slurry tanker speed must not, however, be greater than
the maximum design speed of 40 km/h.
Using it as intended also involves all actions connected with the safe and proper operation
and maintenance of the machine. In connection with this the user is obliged to:
•carefully read the OPERATOR'S MANUAL of the slurry tanker, drive shaft,
vacuum pump and the WARRANTY BOOK and conform with the
recommendations contained in these documents,

subject to wear in normal usage conditions, regardless of the warranty period. Consumables
include the following parts/sub-assemblies:
•drawbar hitching eye,
•pneumatic system connector filters,
•tyres,
•seals,
•bearings,
•vacuum pump vanes.
The warranty service only applies to factory defects and mechanical damage that is not due
to the user's fault.
In the event of damage arising from:
•mechanical damage which is the user's fault, caused by road accidents,

SECTION 1 Pronar T314, Pronar T315, Pronar T316
1.9
•by inappropriate use, adjustment or maintenance, use of the slurry tanker for
purposes other than those for which it is intended,
•use of damaged machine,
•repairs carried out by unauthorised persons, improperly carried out repairs,
•making unauthorised alterations to machine design,
the user will lose the right to warranty service.
TIP
Demand that the seller carefully and precisely fills out the WARRANTY BOOK
and warranty repair coupons. A missing date of purchase or sale point stamp,
may make the user ineligible for any warranty repair or refund.
The user is obliged to report immediately on noticing any wear in the paint coating or traces
of corrosion, and to have the faults rectified whether they are covered by the warranty or not.
For detailed Terms & Conditions of Warranty, please refer to the WARRANTY BOOK
attached to each machine.
Modification of the machine without the written consent of the Manufacturer is forbidden. In
particular, do NOT weld, drill holes in, cut or heat the main structural elements of the
machine, which have a direct impact on the machine operation safety.
1.5 TRANSPORT
The machine is prepared for sale completely assembled and does not require packing.
Packing is only required for the machine's technical documentation and any extra fittings. The
slurry tanker is delivered to the user either transported on a vehicle or, after being attached to
a tractor, independently (slurry tanker towed with a tractor).
1.5.1 TRANSPORT ON VEHICLE
Loading and unloading of slurry tanker from vehicle shall be conducted using loading ramp
with the aid of agricultural tractor, overhead crane or hoisting crane. During work adhere to
the general principles of Health and Safety at Work applicable to reloading work. Persons

Pronar T314, Pronar T315, Pronar T316 SECTION 1
1.10
operating reloading equipment must have the qualifications required to operate these
machines.
Lifting equipment used for transporting the machine must be attached only to the fixed
structural elements of the machine. These elements are, first of all: frame, drawbar and axle.
IMPORTANT!
Do not secure or attach the slurry tanker by drawbar eye, tank equipment, tank,
vacuum pump and other structural elements that are not sufficiently strong to
withstand operations of this type.
The slurry tanker should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or
chains fitted with a tightening mechanism. In order to attach the machine in a proper manner,
use transport lugs (1) – figure (1.3) and fasten axles, frame longitudinal members and
possibly drawbar.
FIG. 1.3 Transport lugs
(1) transport lug, (2) lower longitudinal frame

SECTION 1 Pronar T314, Pronar T315, Pronar T316
1.11
Additionally, support the drawbar with a wooden block of such a height that the slurry tanker
frame is positioned parallel to the load platform. Chocks, wooden blocks or other objects
without sharp edges should be placed under the wheels of the slurry tanker to prevent it from
rolling. Wheel blocks must be nailed to the load platform planks of the vehicle or secured in
another manner preventing their movement.
Use certified and technically reliable securing measures. Worn straps, cracked securing
catches, bent or corroded hooks as well as other damage may disqualify use of the given
element from use. Carefully read the information stated in the Operator's Manual for the
given securing measure. The number of securing elements (cables, straps, chains and stays
etc.) and the force necessary for their tensioning depends on a number of things, including
weight of the machine, the construction of vehicle carrying it, speed of travel and other
conditions. For this reason it is impossible to define the securing plan precisely.
A correctly secured machine does not change its position with regard to the transport in
vehicle. The securing elements must be selected according to the guidelines of the
Manufacturer of these elements. In case of doubt apply a greater number of securing straps
in order to immobilise the machine. If necessary, sharp edges of slurry tanker should be
protected at the same time protecting the securing straps from breaking during transport.
DANGER
Incorrect application of securing measures may cause an accident.
During reloading work, particular care should be taken not to damage parts of the machine's
fittings or the lacquer coating. The tare weight of the slurry tanker is given in table (3.1).
IMPORTANT!
When being road transported on a motor vehicle the slurry tanker must be
mounted on the vehicle's platform in accordance with the transport safety
requirements and the regulations.
Driver of the vehicle should be particularly careful during travel. This is due to
the vehicle's centre of gravity shifting upwards when loaded with the machine.
Use only certified and technically reliable securing measures. Carefully read
the manufacturer's instructions for the securing measures.

Pronar T314, Pronar T315, Pronar T316 SECTION 1
1.12
1.5.2INDEPENDENT TRANSPORT BY THE USER
IMPORTANT!
Before transporting independently, the tractor driver must carefully read this
operator's manual and observe its recommendations.
In the event of independent transport by the user, carefully read the OPERATORS MANUAL
and follow its recommendations. Independent transport involves towing the machine with own
agricultural tractor to destination. During transport adjust travel speed to the prevailing road
conditions, but do not exceed the maximum design speed.
1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. The negligible solubility of hydraulic oil in water does not cause extreme
toxicity of organisms living in the aquatic environment. The formation of a film of oil on the
water may be the direct cause of physical action on organism, perhaps causing change of
oxygen values in the water because of lack of direct contact of air with the water. An oil leak
into water reservoirs may however lead to a reduction of the oxygen content.
While carrying out maintenance and repair work, which involves the risk of an oil leak, this
work should take place on an oil resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil leaking into the
environment, first of all contain the source of the leak, and then collect the leaked oil using
available means. Remaining oil should be collected using sorbents, or by mixing the oil with
sand, sawdust or other absorbent materials. The oil pollution, once gathered up, should be
kept in a sealed, marked, hydrocarbon resistant container. The container should be kept
away from heat sources, flammable materials and food.
DANGER
Used hydraulic oil or gathered remains mixed with absorbent material should
be stored in a precisely marked container. Do not use food packaging for this
purpose.
