Pronar T743 SECTION 1

1.5 TRANSPORT
The trailer is ready for sale completely assembled and does not require packing. Packing is
only required for the machine's technical documentation and any extra fittings. The trailer is
delivered to the user either transported on a vehicle or, after being attached to a tractor,
independently (trailer towed with a tractor).
1.5.1 TRANSPORT ON VEHICLE
Loading and unloading of trailer from vehicle shall be conducted using loading ramp with the
aid of an agricultural tractor. During work adhere to the general principles of Health and
Safety at Work applicable to reloading work. Persons operating reloading equipment must
have the qualifications required to operate these machines. The trailer must be properly
connected with the tractor according to the requirements closed in this Operators Manual.
The trailer brake system must be started in checked before driving off or onto ramp.
The trailer should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or chains fitted
with a tightening mechanism. Securing elements should be attached to permanent structural
elements of the trailer (longitudinal members, crossbars etc.). Use certified and technically
reliable securing measures. Worn straps, cracked securing catches, bent or corroded as well
as other damage may disqualify use of the given element from 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 in 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.
