machine breakdown, stop at the side of the road without endangering other road
users and mark the stopping place in accordance with traffic regulations.
•
When travelling on public roads, the trailer must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign located on the rear wall of the load box, if the trailer is the
last vehicle in the set.
•
The tractor operator is required to equip the trailer with an approved or approved
warning reflective triangle.
•
While driving, obey the rules of the road, signal the change of direction by means
of direction indicators, keep clean and take care of the technical condition of the
lighting and signalling installation. Damaged or lost lighting and signalling
components must be repaired or replaced immediately.
•
Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches, or driving along roadside slopes. Driving across
such obstacles can cause the trailer and tractor to tilt suddenly. This is particularly
important because the centre of gravity of the trailer with load (and especially with
volumetric load) adversely affects driving safety. Driving near the edges of ditches
or canals is dangerous due to the risk of landslides under the wheels of a trailer or
tractor.
CAUTION
Before driving the trailer, check that the pins connecting the load box with the lower frame
are secured against accidental falling out.
Travelling with a volumetric load through ruts, ditches, slopes etc. poses a great risk of
tipping over. Take special care.
•
The travel speed should be reduced sufficiently in advance of driving to curves,
when driving on uneven or sloping terrain.
•
When driving, avoid sharp turns, especially on slopes.
•
It should be remembered that the braking distance of the set increases
significantly with the increase in the weight of the transported load and the
increase in speed.
•
Control the behaviour of the trailer when driving on uneven terrain and adjust the
speed to terrain and road conditions.
