tractor forwards to eliminate the play in the
trailer connections. Then accelerate gradu-
ally up to the desired speed.
–
When approaching your destination, reduce
your speed in advance to ensure that the
tow tractor and the trailers stop. A sudden
stop could cause the load to overturn and
the trailers could close in on themselves.
DANGER
Never transport passengers in a trailer unless the
trailer is specifically designed for that purpose.
Coupling the trailer
CAUTION
When coupling and uncoupling trailers, both the tow
tractor and the trailer must always be on a flat sur-
face. Check that all of the switch elements are in the
neutral position and that the parking brake is engag-
ed.
Before coupling a trailer, check that the eye of
the trailer tow bar and the towing hook of the
tow tractor are compatible. Check that the
trailer brakes are engaged, or check that the
wheels are locked securely to prevent acci-
dental movement. Move the tow tractor to-
wards the trailer in reverse very slowly. Make
sure that the towing hook and the eye of the
trailer tow bar are aligned when viewed from
the driver's compartment.
