ATTENTION
Low chassis trailer may only be hitched to a tractor which has the appropriate
connection sockets for brake system, hydraulic system and electrical system. Hydraulic
oil in both machines must be of the same type and the tractor hitch must be capable of
withstanding the drawbar's vertical load of correctly loaded trailer.
ATTENTION
When hitching is completed, secure the electrical leads and braking system lines in such
a way that they do not become entangled in tractor's moving parts and are not at the risk
of breaking or severed when making turns.
