2.9
•
Before driving on public roads, place the triangular slow-moving vehicle warning
sign on the left folded ramp - figure (2.2). The triangular warning sign should be
attached using the specifically prepared holder (2).
•
Load must be uniformly distributed and it must not obstruct visibility or hinder
driving. The load must be secured so that it cannot move or fall over. The load
should be fixed using sufficiently strong chains, belts or ropes with a tightening
mechanism.
•
During reversing one should use the assistance of another person. During
manoeuvring the person helping must stay at a safe distance from the danger
zone and be visible all the time to the tractor driver.
•
Do NOT attempt to board trailer while travelling.
•
Do NOT park the trailer on a steep slope.
2.1.6 TYRES
•
When working with tyres, the trailer should be immobilised with parking brake and
secured against rolling by placing chocks under wheel. Wheels can be taken off
the trailer axle only when the trailer is not loaded.
•
Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and
entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriate tools.
•
Inspect tightness of nuts after first use of trailer, after first travel under load and
then every 6 months of use or every 25,000 km. In the event of intensive work
check the nut tightening at least every 100 km. The inspection should be repeated
individually if a wheel has been removed from the wheel axle.
•
Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
•
Check the tyre pressure regularly. Pressure and tyres should be also checked
after the whole day of intensive work. Please note that higher temperatures could
raise tyre pressure by as much as 1 bar. At high temperatures and pressure,
reduce load or speed. Do not release air from warm tyres to adjust the pressure
or the tyres will be underinflated when temperatures return to normal.
•
Protect tyre valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling.
