4.3.6 Load transport
Drive with care and act reasonably. Below are the most important tips
for driving a drawing vehicle with an attached mini-spreader.
Before starting, make sure that in the vicinity of the spreader and the drawing
vehicle there are no bystanders. Ensure sufficient visibility.
Make sure that the spreader is properly connected to the vehicle, and the
hitch is properly secured.
NOTE!
NOTE!
Before driving, make sure that all of the spreader's components
are in a generally good technical condition (no mechanical
damage).
Do not exceed the maximum designed speed, equal to 15 km/h. Travel speed
must be adapted to the prevailing conditions, spreader load, type of cargo
and other weather conditions.
Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches or driving on slopes of the road. Driving
through such obstacles can cause sudden tilting of the spreader. This is
particularly important because the center of gravity of the spreader adversely
affects driving safety. Driving near the edge of ditches or canals is dangerous
because of the risk of landslides under the wheels of the spreader or drawing
vehicle.
The driving speed must be reduced early enough before driving to the
corners, when driving on uneven or sloping terrain.
When driving avoid sharp corners, especially on slopes.
Please note that the braking system increases significantly with increasing
mass of the traffic load and increase in speed.
Control the behavior of the spreader while driving on uneven terrain, and
adjust the speed to terrain and traffic conditions.
The spreader is adapted for driving on slopes of maximally up to 8
o
. Moving
the spreader through the grounds of steeper slopes may cause the spreader
