•
Make sure that the trailer is correctly attached to the tractor and tractor's hitch is
properly secured.
•
The trailer must not be overloaded, loads must be uniformly distributed so that the
maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded. The trailer's maximum
carrying capacity must not be exceeded as this can damage the trailer and pose a
risk to the operator or other road users.
•
Do not exceed the design speed and maximum speed allowed by road traffic
regulations. The towing speed should be adapted to the current road conditions,
load carried by the trailer, road surface conditions and other relevant conditions.
•
Unloading should be performed only on a level ground.
•
When not connected to the tractor, the trailer must be immobilised using parking
brake and with chocks placed under the wheels. Do NOT leave unsecured trailer.
In the event of machine malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any
risk to other road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic
regulations.
•
When driving on public roads, the trailer must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign attached to the rear wall of load box, if the trailer is the last
vehicle in the group.
•
While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle.
•
When driving, comply with all road traffic regulations, indicate an intention to turn
using indicator lamps, keep all road lights and indicator lights clean at all times
and ensure they are in good condition. Any damaged or lost lamps or indicator
lights must be immediately repaired or replaced.
•
Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches or driving on roadside slopes. Driving across
such obstacles could cause the trailer or the tractor to suddenly tilt. This is of
special importance because loaded trailer's centre of gravity is higher (especially
a high volume load), which reduces safety. Driving near ditches or channels is
dangerous as there is a risk of the wheels sliding down the slope or the slope
collapsing.
