2.10
•
Do NOT exceed the trailer's maximum carrying capacity. Exceeding the carrying
capacity may lead to damage to the machine, loss of stability while driving,
scattering of the load and danger while driving. The brake system is adjusted to
the gross weight of the trailer, exceeding the weight limit causes drastic reduction
of basic braking effectiveness.
•
Prolonged driving across steep ground may lead to loss of braking efficiency.
•
If the trailer is the last vehicle in the group, a slow-moving vehicle warning sign
should be placed on the trailer's rear load box wall - figure (2.2). The warning sign
(1) should be attached using the specifically prepared holder (2), riveted to the
rear wall of the load box.
•
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.
•
During reversing one should use the assistance of another person. During
manoeuvring the assistant must stay at a safe distance from the danger zone and
be visible all the time to the tractor driver.
•
Do NOT attempt to enter the trailer load box while travelling.
•
Do NOT park the trailer on a slope.
2.1.7 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 before the first use of trailer, after the 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.
