The trailer should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or chains fitted
with a tightening mechanism. In order to attach the machine in a proper manner, use
transport lugs (1) – figure (1.3) and fasten axles, lower longitudinal members of the frame
and possibly structural elements of the rotating frame.
Chocks, wooden blocks or other objects without sharp edges should be placed under the
wheels of the trailer to prevent it from rolling. Wheel blocks must be nailed to the vehicle load
platform planks or secured in another manner preventing their movement.

Use certified and technically reliable securing measures. Worn straps, cracked securing
catches, bent or corroded hooks as well as elements damaged in a different way may be
unsuitable for use. Carefully read the information stated in the Operator's Manual for the
given securing measure. The number of securing elements (cables, straps, chains and stays
etc.) and the force necessary for their tensioning depend on such factors as the trailer weight,
the carrying vehicle design, speed of travel and other conditions. For this reason it is
impossible to define the securing plan precisely.
