During work
- Stay alert and watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not work on the trailer landing gears when
you are tired or have been taking alcohol, medicine or drugs. Do not smoke.
- Use a hoist when lifting 25 kg or more. Only use suitable and technically perfect lifting devices with
adequate lifting capacity built in compliance with all safety measures. Fastening of loads and instructions to
the operator of the lifting device are restricted to experienced personnel who are within sight or sound of the
operator of the lifting device.
- Only use tools, parts, materials, lubricants and service techniques that were approved by VALX. Do not use
contaminated or used lubricants. Used lubricants, cleansing agents and expended landing gears parts must
be disposed of in an environmentally safe way.
- Avoid bodily contact with lubricants.
- Never use worn tools and do not leave tools behind on the trailer landing gears or on the trailer.
- Never weld on any part of the trailer landing gears or suspension without the prior written permission of
VALX.
- Never re-use self-locking fixing materials. Always replace them.

When work is finished
- Inspect the landing legs. Check for damage, leakage or defects. Any part removed for maintenance or repair
purposes must be refitted and checked immediately upon completion of the work.
- Do not clear a trailer landing leg for operation unless it was established that it is absolutely safe and in
perfect working order.

A contribution to the protection of our environment
Please obtain information about recycling or environmentally friendly processing of parts and materials that
have been replaced during maintenance or repair tasks.
Almost all used lubricants are considered to be chemical waste. For the disposal of these a specialized company
must be contacted.
