Top tips – Taking care of your Cheval Liberté Horse Trailer.

Steps for cleaning your horse trailer with a High-Pressure Washer

1. Preparation

Before cleaning, remove all equipment, bedding, and manure from the trailer. Then, inspect the trailer for any loose fittings, damaged areas, or exposed electrical components that could be affected by water.

2. Initial Rinse

Using the Nilfisk Premium 180, perform an initial rinse to remove loose dirt and debris. Start from the top and work your way down to prevent dirty water from running over cleaned areas.

3. Apply Detergent

Utilise the pressure washer’s in-built detergent dosage function to apply an appropriate cleaning solution. Ensure that the detergent is suitable for use on aluminium and rubber surfaces to prevent damage.

4. Scrubbing with the Brush

Attach the Nilfisk Auto Brush to the pressure washer. Use the brush to gently scrub the surfaces, especially on large, curved, or delicate areas, to effectively remove stubborn grime without causing scratches. The in-built squeegee helps remove excess water, leaving surfaces cleaner and streak-free.

5. Final Rinse

After scrubbing, rinse the trailer thoroughly with the high-pressure washer to remove all detergent residues. Ensure that no soap remains, as it can create slippery surfaces and pose a safety risk to the horses.

6. Drying

Allow the trailer to dry completely before loading horses or equipment back in. Open all windows and vents to facilitate air circulation and speed up the drying process.

Maintenance tips to extend the life of your Cheval Liberté Horse Trailer

• Regular Cleaning: Establish a routine cleaning schedule based on the frequency of use. Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of corrosive materials and maintains a hygienic environment for your horses.
• Inspect Seals and Joints: Regularly check seals, joints, and welds for signs of wear or damage. Addressing minor issues early can prevent costly repairs in the future.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply appropriate lubricants to hinges, locks, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Check the Floor: Inspect the floor regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the rubber mat remains securely glued to prevent moisture from seeping underneath.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store your Cheval Liberté horse trailer in a covered area to protect it from the elements. This helps prevent premature wear and extends the lifespan of the trailer’s materials. Customers can also purchase a Cheval Liberté trailer cover which are now also available.

Safety considerations when using a High-Pressure Washer

• Wear Protective Gear: Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and non-slip footwear to protect yourself from high-pressure water jets and debris.
• Maintain a Safe Distance: Keep the nozzle at a safe distance from the surface to prevent damage, especially when cleaning delicate areas or seals.
• Avoid Electrical Components: Be cautious around electrical components or connections. Avoid directing high-pressure water at these areas to prevent electrical hazards.
• Ensure Proper Ventilation: When using detergents or cleaning agents, ensure adequate airflow to prevent the buildup of harmful fumes.

Regular cleaning of your Cheval Liberté horse trailer is essential for ensuring the safety and comfort of your horses, as well as preserving the trailer’s durability and value. Using a Nilfisk high-pressure washer with the Auto Brush attachment makes the process faster, more effective, and thorough.

By following these cleaning and maintenance steps, you can extend the lifespan of your Cheval Liberté trailer and keep it in top condition for years to come.
