•
Ensure that slurry tanker is properly hitched to the tractor and that the tractor hitch
has been properly secured.
•
Please note that liquid load behaves differently that solid loads during transport.
That is why liquid load should be transported as gently as possible.
•
Avoid sudden acceleration, turning and braking.
•
Do NOT overload the slurry tanker. The slurry tanker's maximum carrying
capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the slurry tanker and pose a
risk to the operator or other road users.
•
Permissible design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic law must
not be exceeded. Speed of travel should be adjusted to prevailing road
conditions, load carried and other conditions.
•
When not hitched to the tractor, the slurry tanker must be immobilised using
parking brake and with chocks placed under the wheels. Do NOT leave
unsecured machine.
•
In the event of slurry tanker 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 slurry tanker must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign attached to the rear wall of the tank. The tractor driver shall
be equipped with a certified or approved 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 slurry tanker or the tractor to suddenly tilt. This is
of special importance because loaded machine's centre of gravity is higher, which
reduces safety. Particular attention should be paid when driving the slurry tanker
that is not fully loaded. Driving near ditches or channels is dangerous as there is a
risk of the wheels sliding down the slope or the slope collapsing.
