ATTENTION
Prior to moving off with the trailer hitched, check the following:
•
pins connecting the load box with the lower frame are secured against falling
out,
•
lug pins of wall extensions are secured against falling out.
Travel with a high-volume load by ruts, ditches roadside slopes etc. constitutes a great
risk of overturning the trailer. Exercise particular caution.
•
Speed must be sufficiently reduced before making a turn or driving on an uneven
road or a slope.
•
When driving, avoid sharp turns especially on slopes.
•
Please note that the braking distance of the tractor and trailer combination is
substantially increased at higher speeds and loads.
•
Monitor trailer's behaviour when travelling on an uneven terrain, and adjust driving
speed to road conditions, slow down early enough when turning.
•
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.
4.6 UNLOADING
The trailer is equipped with hydraulic tipping system and suitable frame structure and the
load box allowing tipping sideways and to the rear. Tipping of the load box is controlled from
driver's cab using external tractor hydraulic system manifold.
Unloading of the trailer is performed in the following sequence:
tractor and trailer must be placed to drive forwards on level, flat and hard
ground,
immobilise tractor and trailer with parking brake,
Position tipping pins (1), (2) (connecting load box with the lower frame) on the
unloading side and properly secure with a cotter pin (3) - Figure (4.2),
