Introduction
CHECKING THE TRAILER AFTER DELIVERY
The manufacturer guarantees that the
trailer is fully operational and has been
checked according to quality control pro-
cedures and is ready for use. This does
not release the user from an obligation to
check the machine's condition after de-
livery and before the rst use. The ma-
chine is delivered to the user completely
assembled.
SCOPE OF INSPECTION ACTIVITIES
• Conrm that the specication of the
delivered machine is in conformity
with your order.
• Check condition of protective paint
coat,
• Visually inspect the trailer's com-
ponents for mechanical damage
resulting from, for example, incorrect
transport.
• Check technical condition of tyres
and tyre pressure.
• Check technical condition of elastic
hydraulic and pneumatic conduits.
• Make certain that there are no hy-
draulic oil leaks.
• Check electrical lamps of the trailer's
lighting system.
U.11.1.EN
TIP
Hand-over of the trailer to the buyer involves a de-
tailed visual inspection and verification of the trailer
operation, as well as instructing the buyer on the ba-
sic usage rules. The trailer is operated for the first
time in the presence of the Seller.

Introduction
6PRONAR RC3100
FIRST USE OF THE TRAILER
• The user must read this Operator's
Manual and observe all the recom-
mendations contained in it.
• Adapt the height of the trailer drawbar
to the tractor hitch.
• Conduct daily inspection of the trailer
according to guidelines presented in
the schedule:
• Check correctness of tightening of
bolt and nut connections (in particular
connections of suspension system,
drawbar eye and wheels).
• Hitch the machine to tractor.
• Switch on individual lights, check
correct operation of electrical system.
• Check correctness of control valve
operation.
• Perform test drive. Check the trailer's
braking efciency during driving.
• Stop tractor and turn off the engine,
immobilise the tractor and trailer with
parking brake.
If during test run worrying symptoms occur
such as:
• excessive noise and abnormal
sounds originating from the rubbing
of moving elements,
• leakage and pressure drop in braking
system,
• incorrect operation of brake cylinders,
• other faults,
stop operating the trailer and do not op-
erate it until the malfunction is corrected.
If a fault cannot be rectied or the repair
could void the warranty, please contact
retailer for additional clarications or to
perform the repair.
U.12.2.EN
ATTENTION
During the first use, the trailer is checked in the pres-
ence of the Seller. The Seller is obliged to conduct
the training in safe and correct operation of the trailer.

1.2 PURPOSE
The trailer is designed for transporting ag-
ricultural and construction machines and
the loads which can be properly secured
against moving during travel (loads placed
in boxes, containers, on pallets etc.).
The above-mentioned loads may be trans-
ported provided that the recommendations
included in this manual, especially the rec-
ommendations concerning protection of
load included in Section Securing load are
adhered to.
Transporting people, animals, bulk and
hazardous materials is prohibited and
regarded as contrary to the intended
purpose of the trailer. The trailer must not
be used for transporting long materials
e.g. sawlogs.
The trailer may only be hitched to the agri-
cultural tractors which full all the require-
ments specied in table
Requirements for
agricultural tractor.
The brake system and the light and indi-
cator system meet the requirements of
road trafc regulations. Do NOT exceed
the permissible speed of the tractor-trailer
combination (the permissible speed spec-
ied by road trafc regulations in force in
the country in which the trailer is used).
The trailer speed must not, however, be
greater than the maximum design speed
- table (3.1)
Using it as intended also involves all ac-
tions connected with the safe and proper
operation and maintenance of the ma-
chine. Due to the above, the user is obliged
to:
• carefully read this Operator's Manual
and the Warranty Book and conform
with the recommendations contained
in these documents,
• understand the machine's operating
principle and how to operate it safely
and correctly,
• adhere to the established mainte-
nance and adjustment plans,
• comply with general safety regula-
tions while working,
• prevent accidents,
• comply with the road trafc regula-
tions and transport regulations in
force in the given country, in which
the machine is used,
• carefully read the Operator's Manual
and comply with its recommendations,
• only hitch the trailer to an agri-
cultural tractor which fulls all the

1.4 TERMS & CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY
PRONAR Sp. z o.o. Narew guarantees re-
liable operation of the machine provided
that it is used as intended, as described in
the Operator's Manual. The repair period
is specied in the Warranty Book.
The warranty does not cover those parts
and sub-assemblies of the machine which
are subject to wear in normal usage con-
ditions, regardless of the warranty period.
The warranty service only applies to such
cases as: mechanical damage which is not
the user's fault, factory defects of parts,
etc.
In the event of damage arising from:
• mechanical damage which is the
user's fault, damage caused by road
accidents,
• inappropriate use, adjustment or
maintenance, use of the machine for
purposes other than those for which
it is intended,
• use of damaged machine,
• repairs carried out by unauthorised
persons, repairs carried out
improperly,
• making unauthorised alterations to
machine design,
the user will lose the right to warranty
service.
The user is obliged to report immediately
on noticing any wear in the paint coating or
traces of corrosion, and to have the faults
rectied whether they are covered by the
warranty or not.
For detailed Terms & Conditions of War-
ranty, please refer to the Warranty Book at-
tached to each newly purchased machine.
Modications of the machine without the
written consent of the Manufacturer are
prohibited. In particular, do NOT weld, drill
holes in, cut or heat the main structural el-
ements of the machine which have a direct
impact on the machine operation safety.
E.3.1.621.04.1.EN
TIP
Demand that the seller carefully and precisely fills
out the Warranty Book and warranty repair cou-
pons. A missing date of purchase or sale point stamp
may make the user ineligible for any warranty repair
or refund.

1.5 TRANSPORT
The machine is prepared for sale com-
pletely assembled and does not require
packing. Packing is only required for the
machine's technical documentation and
some extra equipment. The trailer is de-
livered to the user either transported
on a vehicle or, after being attached to
a tractor, independently (trailer towed with
a tractor).
TRANSPORT ON VEHICLE
Loading and unloading of trailer from ve-
hicle shall be conducted using loading
ramp with the aid of an agricultural tractor.
During work, adhere to the general prin-
ciples of occupational health and safety
(OHS) applicable to reloading work.
Persons operating reloading equipment
must have the qualications required to
operate these machines. The trailer must
be properly hitched to the tractor according
to the requirements specied in this Oper-
ator's Manual. The trailer’s brake must be
started and checked before driving off or
onto ramp.
The trailer should be attached rmly to
the platform of the vehicle using straps or
chains tted with a tightening mechanism.
Securing elements should be attached
to the transport lugs designed for this
purpose. Transport lugs are welded to the
longitudinal members of the lower frame -
gure (1.4).
Use only certied and technically reliable
securing measures. Worn straps, cracked
securing catches, bent or corroded hooks
as well as elements damaged in a different
way may be unsuitable for use. Carefully
read the information in the Operator's
Manual for the given securing measure.
Chocks or other objects without sharp
edges should be placed under the wheels
of the trailer to prevent it from rolling. Trailer
wheel chocks must be secured to the load
platform of the vehicle in a manner pre-
venting their movement. The quantity of
securing elements (cables, straps, chains,
DANGER
Incorrect use of securing measures may cause an
accident.
DANGER
When being road transported on a motor vehicle the
trailer 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 ma-
chine.
Use only certified and technically reliable securing
measures. Carefully read the information contained
in the Operator's Manuals for the given securing
measures.
