2 Operational safety
2.1 Safety regulations
The combination of the motor unit with trailer may only be operated under the following conditions:
•
under reduced visibility: ban on all roads
•
under normal visibility:
- operation is prohibited on primary and secondary roads with the exception of perpendicular crossing
- operation is allowed on tertiary roads
Before the use of the ANV-400 trailer, it is necessary to perform the technical inspection of the vehicle, especially:
•
securing the connecting pin to the tractor
•
check of the correct function of the brakes
•
tightening of the screws of the split drawbar, wheels
•
tyre pressure
•
separate inspection of the drive unit
The towing hitch connection pin must always be secured by the cotter.
When stationary, the trailer connected with the tractor must always be secured by the handbrake.
Never exceed the maximum trailer load and the total weight of the vehicle combination. The trailer must not be overloaded
in excess of its maximum permitted payload (see the technical data table).
When moving from a slope, always have the 1st or 2nd gear engaged and the wheel latches in the locking position.
Monitor the braking efficiency carefully. If low efficiency is observed, it is necessary to adjust the brakes immediately.
Be particularly careful especially in steep terrain out of firm roads.
It is forbidden to hop on or off the trailer while moving.
It is forbidden to transport people on the trailer.
To fasten the bulk materials loaded on the trailer, use sufficiently strong and tested ropes designed for that purpose.
Watch out for possible quick tilting of the body (the front part of the body rises upwards) if the centre of gravity of the load
is shifted behind the axes of the hinges.
The maximum climbing ability of the trailer with connected tractor is 13 degrees. The climbing ability means that the fully
loaded trailer with the tractor can be operated on slopes with an inclination of 13 degrees.
Do not start the motor of the tractor indoors! The exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Inhalation may lead
to loss of consciousness or even to death.
During operation, the exhaust system of the motor is heated to a very high temperature, which it maintains for a long time
after switching off. Therefore avoid contact with surrounding objects - there is a risk of fire. When touching any hot part, there
is a risk of severe burns!
Petrol is an extremely flammable and, under certain circumstances, highly explosive substance! Refuelling shall be
performed in a well ventilated area with the motor off; open fire must be avoided! Do not smoke! When refilling petrol, make
sure that no leak occurs and it is not spilled over the motor parts! Otherwise dry the affected parts or wait until the petrol
evaporates!
All repairs, adjustment and lubrication of the device must be performed when the device is at a standstill.
Check regularly the condition of the tread pattern and sides of the tyres.
In case of any crack or bulge, the trailer must be taken out of operation and the tyre replaced with a faultless one.
When working with the device, use sturdy shoes, tight clothing and working gloves.
