upper longitudinal frame (2), with one pair on each side of the trailer. 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 contained in the Operator's Manual for the given securing
measure. Chocks, wooden blocks or other objects without sharp edges should be placed
under the wheels of the trailer to prevent it from rolling. Trailer wheel blocks must be nailed to
the low platform planks of the vehicle or secured in another manner preventing their
movement. The number of securing elements (cables, straps, chains and stay etc.) and the
force necessary for their tensioning depends on a number of things, including weight of the
trailer, the construction of vehicle carrying trailer, speed of travel and other conditions. For
this reason it is impossible to define the securing plan precisely. A correctly secured trailer
does not change its position with regard to the transport vehicle. The securing elements must
be selected according to the guidelines of the Manufacturer of these elements. In case of
doubt apply a greater number of securing straps in order to immobilise the trailer. If
necessary, sharp edges of trailer should be protected at the same time protecting the
securing straps from breaking during transport.
ATTENTION
When being road transported on a motor vehicle the trailer must be mounted on the
vehicle's platform in accordance with the transport safety requirements and the
regulations.
Driver of the vehicle should be particularly careful during travel. This is due to the
vehicle's centre of gravity shifting upwards when loaded with the machine.
Use only certified and technically reliable securing measures. Carefully read the
information contained in the Operator's Manuals for the given securing measures.
During reloading work, particular care should be taken not to damage parts of the machine's
equipment or the paint coating. The tare weight of the trailer in condition ready for travel is
given in table (3.1).
DANGER
Incorrect use of securing measures may cause an accident.
