USE
Only those who understand the safety instructions and the instruction manual may use the
equipment or product. Exercise caution and care when working with the equipment or prod-
uct and only use them in the way described in the instruction manual. There is a risk of crush-
ing when working with equipment that has moving parts. Exercise caution when working
with equipment with hydraulic hoses as oil under pressure can penetrate the skin. Immedi-
ately seek medical attention if this should occur. Always work alone with equipment that is
made for working alone. Respect the equipment’s risk zone.
•
Check that the trailer is not damaged before hitching it to the vehicle; the floor must
always be completely flat when hitching the trailer.
•
Loads must be spread evenly across the trailer. Never exceed the permitted load weight.
•
Loads sticking out must be well anchored. Ensure the load is spread evenly across the
trailer. Uneven loads can have an impact on how the towing vehicle is driven and can
cause accidents!
•
All operations are performed from the driver’s seat.
•
An SMV sign must be attached when travelling on public roads.
•
The trailer is equipped for use on public roads. EU regulations stipulate how fast a rig with
a non-braked/braked trailer is allowed to go. Comply with these regulations. (Maximum
of 40 km/h in Sweden and 30 km/h in Norway).
•
NOTE: do not disconnect the hydraulic hoses from the tractor, the tipper ram or connec-
tions when the floor is tipped.
•
Check that the hitch between the trailer and towing vehicle is locked. When tipping, the
trailer must always be connected to the towing vehicle.
•
Tipping must take place on a level, hard surface.
•
Safety distance when tipping: 15 m radius.
•
Never drive with the trailer in the tipped position. Keep an eye on the trailer, floor, flaps
and load when tipping. Stop tipping if anything unexpected should happen or if there is
a risk of damage or overturning due to, for instance, strong side winds.
•
Risk of crushing! Be careful when opening and closing the trailer flaps!
•
Be careful when lowering the floor, especially when it is loaded.
•
When carrying out work under the floor, the tipper ram must be disconnected and the
floor locked in place.
CONNECTING THE TRAILER:
•
Check the ball coupling on the trailer; then connect the tipping trailer to the towing
vehicle. Beware! When hitching and unhitching the trailer, there is a crushing risk due to
the force exerted on the hitch due to the upward and downward motion.
•
Connect the hydraulic hose to the towing vehicle’s hydraulic system. The trailer’s brake
system must be connected to the tractor’s brake outlet!
•
Operate and carefully check the movements of the trailer. Hoses must not be stretched or
rub against sharp edges, etc. Correct if necessary. Tighten leaking connections if there are
any leaks. Do not overtighten the connections. They may break if they are overtightened.
Check the air pressure in the tyres. Max. 1.5 bar
•
When using a tractor with an automatic hitch system, make sure the tow bar eye is
correctly fitted. Always check that the trailer is correctly connected to the tractor.
