2.2 General Safety Precautions
•
THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE ON THIS MACHINE IS A SAFE OPERATOR. It is the
operator’s responsibility to read and understand all safety and operating instructions in the
manual and to follow them.
•
Trailer owners must give operating instructions to operators or employees before allowing
them to operate the machine, and at least annually thereafter.
•
A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not
qualified
to operate or do maintenance on the machine. An untrained operator or
maintenance technician exposes them self and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
•
Read and understand the Operator’s manual and all safety signs before coupling to, loading
and unloading, operating or maintaining the trailer.
•
Keep the trailer and the area around the trailer clean.
•
Do not perform unauthorized modifications to this trailer.
•
Make and follow an approved maintenance and inspection schedule.
•
Do not remove, change, or disable machine guards.
•
Correct malfunctions and perform repairs immediately on discovery.
•
Do not replace fasteners, hardware or mechanical connectors with a different or unknown
grade or type. Torque fasteners and hardware to the correct value.
•
Do not overload or exceed the trailer capacity. Do not operate the trailer at speeds that exceed
the designed ratings.
•
Use tools applicable to the work. Use power tools to loosen threaded fasteners only. Do not
use SAE tools on SI (metric) fasteners.
•
Use the correct lifting equipment for moving heavy parts. Follow recommended procedures
for removal and installation of parts.
•
Keep the area clear of bystanders, especially children.
•
Have a first-aid kit available for use should the need arise and know how to use it.
•
Provide a fire extinguisher for use in case of a fire. Store in a highly visible place.
•
Do not allow riders on the trailer.
•
Uncouple the trailer from the tractor and ensure the trailer is immobilized prior to servicing,
adjusting and repairing the trailer.
•
Know the height of your load. Ensure clearance to electrical lines and other structures.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact.
•
Know the location and read all decals on the machine. They contain important alerts and
precautions which are to be followed at all times.
•
Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away from all moving parts.
•
Tie down load before moving or transporting trailer.
•
Check tie-downs frequently during transport to prevent shifting or movement of the cargo.
•
Make sure all lights and reflectors required by law are in place, clean and can be seen clearly by
all overtaking and oncoming traffic.
•
Before disconnecting the tractor from the trailer unit(s), make sure the tractor and trailer are on
level ground and the trailer brakes are applied.
