•
The trailer must be loaded and unloaded only when parked on a level and hard
surface and hitched to a tractor. The tractor and the trailer must be parked to
drive forwards.
•
Ensure that during unloading, loading or raising the loading case nobody is near
the trailer. Before tipping the loading case, ensure that you have an appropriate
visibility and make certain that there are no bystanders.
•
When loading and unloading the trailer, the drawbar eye and tractor hitch are
subject to dynamic vertical loads.
•
Before raising the loading case, the tipping pins should be placed on the intended
side. Check if the pins are correctly inserted.
•
Keep a safe distance from overhead power lines when the loading case is being
raised.
•
Pay particular attention when opening and wall locks – the load may exert force
on the trailer walls.
•
Do not tip the loading case in windy conditions.
•
Bulk materials loaded in excess of 1 m can be unloaded only by tipping the
loading case to the rear.
•
Bulk materials loaded in the trailer with the second set of extensions must be
unloaded with particular care.
•
When operating Pronar PT512 trailer with the second set of extension installed,
the risk of occurrence of following hazards is more significant: losing the trailer's
stability, tipping over, compromising the durability of trailer's components,
adversely affecting the view on movement of trailer's body components,
uncontrolled loading case movement on uneven ground.
•
Pay attention to safety when unloading the trailer on uneven ground. Make sure
there are no persons in the proximity of the trailer.
•
If the load does not pour from the raised load box, immediately cease unloading.
The trailer may only be tipped again after removing the obstacle which prevented
the unloading.
