MUST READ THIS MANUAL and become completely familiar with all of its operating
instructions and safety precautions.
To avoid serious injury or death, ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS:
1.
Do not allow unqualified, untrained or careless personnel to operate the truck bed. Do not
use the truck bed for a purpose for which it was not intended.
2.
Each person at the user’s facility who may be involved with installing, operating, servicing,
inspecting, maintaining or repairing the truck bed must read the complete operating
instructions and carefully study and understand the safety instructions. All actual and
potential operators should confirm their having done so in writing.
3.
The truck bed must be serviced and maintained only by authorized and properly trained
personnel. Such personnel must have undergone training by a factory-trained
representative concerning the proper and safe operation of the truck bed. Only the
manufacturer or factory-trained technicians should carry out more than minor repairs.
4.
Do not allow anyone who is not physically fit or mentally alert near the truck bed or its
operating area. Be constantly alert to possible hazards on or around the truck bed.

of the truck bed. Comply with local, state and/or federal environmental regulations,
including those governing airborne dust particles.

Designate a person to be responsible at any given time for installation, commissioning,
operating and repair of the truck bed so the responsibility for safety will not be lost.

only. Only original Trinity Trailer Mfg., Inc. parts must be used for maintenance or repair.
