Avoid losing control of the loader or tipping the trailer over by loading the trailer
according to operating conditions. On uneven terrains the maximum load carrying
capacity may not be achieved, as the controllability of the loader is hindered when a
trailer is hitched. The maximum capacity can be achieved only on good conditions,
when the surface is even.
To prevent damaging the support jack, make sure that the jack is fully lifted before
moving the trailer.
Make sure that enough load is applied on the trailer drawbar and on the loader hitch.
The drawbar must not be lifting (negative), because in this case the controllability of
the loader may be severely hindered. Also the suddenly lifting drawbar may hit the
operator when taking the trailer off from the loader.

Opening and removing the sides
After opening the locking of the sides, the plates can be removed by lifting them straigth upwards. Keep the
sides attached and locked always during transitions. Extra extending of the sides is prohibited.
6.2.
Tipping the trailer
Use the tipping function only from the driver’s seat and only at the final emptying area. Verify that tipping is
safe by checking the terrain inclinations and by keeping others at a safe distance away from the equipment
due to the overturning risk of the trailer. Open the rear hatch of the trailer before activating the tipping. Lift
the trailer bed slowly and calmly. When the trailer bed is lifted, avoid shaking the trailer.
Lower the trailer bed before leaving the driver’s seat and always immediately after emptying it. If there is air
trapped in the hydraulic system of the trailer, the bed may twitch while lowering. The system will de-air itself
during normal use.
When using the tipping the trailer may overturn because the centre of gravity raises
high. Also a strong crosswind may affect the balance of the trailer. When tipping the
trailer, the ground must be laterally level and flat. Make sure that other persons
remain at a distance of at least 3 metres from the trailer beacuse of the risk of
overturningn of the trailer. The tipping must not be used in case there is a risk of
overturing.
Avoid hazards of crushing and faling of materials by opening the rear hatch of the
trailer before using the tipping function. Lower the trailer before trying to assist to
move the material on the trailer.
Hitting obstacles, such as tree branches, building eaves or low-hanging live wires
may cause serious hazards in addition to the tipping over hazard. Make sure that
overhead clearance is sufficient when tipping the trailer.
