SECTION 4 Pronar T023, Pronar T023M
4.11
•
Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must
not be exceeded. The towing speed should be adapted to the current road
conditions, load carried by the trailer, road surface conditions and other relevant
conditions.
•
When not connected to the tractor, the trailer must be immobilised using parking
brake and with chocks placed under the wheels. Do NOT leave unsecured trailer.
In the event of machine malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any
risk to other road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic
regulations.
•
When driving on public roads trailer must be marked with a slow-moving vehicle
warning sign attached to the rear wall of load box, if the trailer is the last vehicle in
the group.
•
While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle.
•
When driving, comply with all road traffic regulations, indicate an intention to turn
using indicator lamps, keep all road lights and indicator lights clean at all times
and ensure they are in good condition. Any damaged or lost lamps or indicator
lights must be immediately repaired or replaced.
•
Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches or driving on roadside slopes. Driving across
such obstacles could cause the trailer or the tractor to suddenly tilt. This is of
special importance because loaded trailer's centre of gravity is higher (especially
a high volume load), which reduces safety. Driving near ditches or channels is
dangerous as there is a risk of the wheels sliding down the slope or the slope
collapsing.
•
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.
•
While driving on public roads the extendible frame must be retracted.
