General use of EXSIDE

4   General use of EXSIDE

General use of the trailer is described in the “General Users Manual".

5  Using the EXSIDE

When transporting general cargo, the load must be secured in accordance with the guidelines.

Important points for attention are:

The roof system must be free of water, snow and ice before 

the side doors, mid post or upper rail are operated.

Make sure the trailer is straight and level during loading and 

unloading from the side.

Check to see if any of the load is positioned against the rear 

doors by carefully opening the rear doors. This can be done 

using the pneumatic rear door locking device (see general 

users manual).

Check via the rear of the trailer to see if any of the load has 

shifted before opening the side doors.

Apply caution when operating the side doors during high 

winds.

Do not open the side doors with bulk loads in the trailer.

Check the available space around the trailer before opening 

the side doors.

- Distance side (door side) of the trailer: 3m

- Distance in front of the trailer: 2m

- Distance behind the trailer: 2m
