D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
5.3. WHEEL CHOCK
5.4. MUD GUARDS AND MUD FLAPS
The use of a wheel chock is strongly recommended when uncoupling the trailer, also when the trailer is being un-
coupled on a surface without any apparent slopes.
There are two types of mud guards which comply with the legal requirements. The first type covers the wheels
collectively using part of the chassis and the second type covers the wheels individually.
Do not forget to remove the wheel chock and return it to its holder once the trailer
has been coupled.
The spray suppression on the mud flaps should be cleaned on a regular basis
by means of a high pressure cleaner.
