Notes on driving with the TTW

The handling characteristics of a towing vehicle are influenced by the coupled
trailer.

Always adapt the vehicle speed and driving style to the local conditions.

Avoid sudden cornering when driving uphill and downhill as well as when crossing a
slope. There is a risk of tipping.

When driving uphill, use a low gear. Never change or disengage gears on a
gradient.

Stop the towing vehicle immediately if a brake fault occurs.

Attend to faults immediately.

The operator workstation is the driver's seat of the towing vehicle.

The towing vehicle is to be fitted with ballast weights (if necessary) to ensure
steering and braking capability (at least 20% of the vehicle's empty weight on the
front axle).
Carrying persons on the trailer is prohibited.
Climbing on and off safely
Careless behaviour can result in falling when climbing on and off the machine. Persons climbing
on to the machine without using the designated access points may slip, fall and suffer serious
injuries.
The safety of access points can be impaired by dirt and debris.

Always ensure that access points are clean and in working condition.

Never climb on or off the machine while it is moving.

Never jump off the machine.

Only climb on and off the machine via the access points specified in the operating
instructions.
Notes on coupling and uncoupling the TTW

There is an injury risk when coupling devices to the tractor.

When coupling, do not step between the trailer and the tractor while the tractor is
moving backwards.

Nobody must enter the area between the tractor and the trailer unless the vehicles
have been secured against rolling away with the parking brake and/or wheel chocks.

Before starting to drive, release the parking brake.
Parking the TTW
Attention! Secure the trailer to prevent it rolling away.

Park the livestock trailer on level, solid ground.
On soft ground, the supporting foot's surface area must be increased by using a
suitable aid (e.g. a wood plank).

Apply the parking brake.

Extend the supporting stand.

Secure with wheel chocks.
Handling the mechanical supporting stand

Couple the TTW to the tractor.

The load on the supporting stand can be reduced by operating the lock.

Retract the supporting foot and lock it again.

Ensure it is properly locked.
The tractor is a weight-bearing element for single-axle and tandem trailers.
Therefore, the trailer must only be set down on the supporting foot when it is
empty.
