SECTION 4

4.6

If the trailer is equipped with a hydraulic braking system, connect the

braking system conduit to proper hydraulic socket in the tractor.

Connect the electrical system lead.

Check and, if necessary, protect leads against abrasion or other mechanical

damage.

Just before driving off, remove chocks from under the trailer's wheels and

release parking brake.

IMPORTANT!

The trailer must not be used when not in working order.

When turning, connecting conduits must hang loosely and not become tangled with moving

elements of machine and tractor.

DANGER

When hitching, there must be nobody between the trailer and the tractor. When
hitching the machine, tractor driver must exercise particular caution and make
sure that nobody is present in the hazard zone.

When connecting the hydraulic or pneumatic conduits to the tractor, make sure
that the hydraulic and pneumatic systems of the tractor and the trailer are not
under pressure.

Ensure sufficient visibility during hitching.

After completion of hitching check the security of the hitching pin.
