•
Before moving check that the trailer is correctly hitched to the tractor (in particular
check security of hitching pin).
•
Do NOT move off or drive when load box is raised.
•
Chocks (1) should be placed only under one wheel (one in front of the wheel, the
other behind the wheel - figure (2.1)). Chocks should not be placed under the
front axle wheels.
•
Prior to moving off make sure that tipping pins connecting the load box and the
lower frame and the side wall hinge pins are secured against falling out. Check if
the rear wall slide gate is secured. Check that all walls and extensions are
properly closed.
•
Before using the trailer always check its technical condition, especially in terms of
safety. In particular, check the technical condition of the hitch system, the axle
system, the brake system, indicator lights and the connective elements of the
hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems.
•
Before driving off check that the parking brake is released, the braking force
regulator is positioned in the proper position (applies to pneumatic systems with
manual three-position regulator).
•
The trailer is designed to operate on slopes up to 8
0
. Driving trailer across ground
with steeper slopes may cause the trailer to tip over as a result of loss of stability.
Prolonged driving across steep ground may lead to loss of braking efficiency.
•
While driving on public roads, the trailer and the tractor must be fitted with a
certified or authorised reflective warning triangle.
•
Periodically drain water from the air tanks in pneumatic system. During frosts,
freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic system components.
•
Reckless driving and excessive speed may cause accidents.
•
A load protruding beyond the edge of the trailer should be marked according to
the road traffic regulations. Do NOT transport loads forbidden by the
Manufacturer.
•
Do NOT exceed the trailer's maximum carrying capacity. Exceeding the carrying
capacity may lead to damage to the machine, loss of stability while driving,
