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.
•
When driving on public roads, the hydraulic tailgate and hinged-opening tailgate
must be closed and secured.
•
Please note that the braking distance of the tractor and trailer combination is
substantially increased at higher speeds and loads.
•
Monitor trailer's behaviour when travelling on an uneven terrain, and adjust driving
speed to road conditions, slow down early enough when turning.
•
Prolonged driving across steep ground may lead to loss of braking efficiency.
•
The trailer is designed to operate on slopes up to 8°. Driving trailer across ground
with steeper slopes may cause the trailer to tip over as a result of loss of stability.
Prolonged driving across steep ground may lead to loss of braking efficiency.
4.5 UNLOADING
The trailer is equipped with hydraulic tipping system and suitable frame structure and the
load box allowing tipping to the rear. Tipping of the load box is controlled from driver's cab
using external tractor hydraulic system manifold.
The trailer must be positioned to travel forwards and be hitched to the tractor. Unloading
should only take place when the trailer is placed on level and stable surface.
DANGER
Ensure that during unloading nobody is in the vicinity of the unloading zone.
During work, keep a safe distance from overhead electric power lines.
Goods on pallets and bulk materials should be unloaded from the trailer using a loader,
conveyor or forklift truck. During work, ensure good visibility and exercise due caution.
Immobilise tractor and trailer with parking brake. Just before unloading, remove all securing
elements (belts, ropes, etc.). Unloading the trailer should be carried out in accordance with
the general principles of workplace health and safety.
