4.8 USING UNDERRUN PROTECTION DEVICES
The trailer can be additionally equipped with the side under-run protection devices. The
underrun protection devices fulfil a very important role in road safety and therefore their good
technical condition should be ensured.
The underrun protection devices are mounted to proper brackets of the lower frame, by
means of bolts and nuts. The design of the side underrun protection devices enables their
locking in the transport position and in the raised position.

•
Move the underrun protection device away. Appropriate recess and slotted holes
allow the locking of under-run protective device in the raised position.
Lowering

•
Lower the underrun protection device and press it until the clamping ring pin locks
into the pawl (4).
