Storage, sale, and transport
1.5.1 Storage
The Trailer must be protected from direct exposure to weather conditions (e.g. sun and
rain), parked on a solid ground on its ground wheels, secured with chocks under the wheels
(reduce tyre pressure and cover the tyres, if there is a likelihood of exposure to sunlight). Long-
term storage is permitted only in enclosed areas.
If the Trailer is exposed to weather conditions, inspect it from time to time to make sure
that no rainwater has accumulated inside it. Make sure the paint coating is intact. These areas
should be cleaned, degreased, and then covered with paint, maintaining a uniform colour and
even thickness of the protective coating.
If the Trailer is equipped with a canvas cover, regularly check to ensure that no water
has accumulated on its surface. Too much water accumulating on the surface of the canvas
cover may damage both the cover and its supporting frame.
1.5.2 Sale
The buyer shall collect the Trailer from the manufacturer or from the point of sale, or
agrees on the terms of delivery with the manufacturer.
The Trailer is sold as ready for operation and with the basic accessories, as specified
in section 1.4 of this manual. Additional equipment may be purchased for an additional fee.
Personnel at the point of sale are obliged to make sure that the buyer is acquainted
with the principles of design and operation of the Trailer, safety requirements, and warranty
conditions.
The Buyer is obliged to check whether:
•
The Trailer is complete, undamaged, and equipped with all the basic
components;
•
The data on the nameplate and the VIN number stamped on the chassis frame
are compliant with the data entered in the warranty;
