  Unlock tractor hitch and disconnect trailer drawbar from tractor hitch and drive 

tractor away. 

 

DANGER 

 

Exercise  caution  when  unhitching  the  trailer  from  the  tractor.  Ensure  good  visibility. 
Unless it is necessary, do not go between tractor and trailer. 

Before disconnecting conduits and drawbar eye, close tractor cab and secure it against 
access by unauthorised persons. Turn off tractor engine. 

 

4.3

 

HITCHING AND UNHITCHING THE SECOND TRAILER 

A  second  trailer  may  only be  hitched  if  it  is a  machine  built  on  a  dual  axle  chassis and if  it 

fulfils all requirements specified in section 1. Hitching the second trailer to the tractor - trailer 

unit  requires  experience  in  driving  an  agricultural  tractor  with  a  trailer.  While  hitching  the 

second  trailer,  it  is  recommended  to  use  the  help  of  another  person  to  guide  the  tractor 

driver. 

 

DANGER 

 

When  hitching,  there  must  be  nobody  between  the  trailers.  Person  assisting  in  hitching 
the machines should stand outside the area of danger and be visible to the tractor driver 
at all times. 

 

Hitching the second trailer 

  Position  the  tractor  with  the  first  trailer  hitched  directly  in  front  of  the  second 

trailer's drawbar. 

  Immobilise the second trailer with parking brake. 

  Remove  securing  cotter  pin  (4)  and  take  out  hitch  pin  (3)  in  the  first  trailer  - 

figure (4.1). 

  Adjust the height of the drawbar (2) of the second trailer in such a manner as 

to enable hitching the machines. 

  Reversing tractor, drive the rear hitch of the first trailer onto the drawbar of the 

second trailer.
