4. Trailer Towing Procedure
Trailers are used in many configurations. The operator must be familiar with the style used in
his work area.
Two basic steering systems are found on these trailers, two wheel steer and four wheel steer.
On the two wheel steer unit the front axle pivots in the center and is part of the tow bar. This
system produces rear end swing (the corners of the trailers fill an area wider than the trailer
when turning).
ON THE FOUR WHEEL STEER TRAILERS THE FRONT AND REAR AXLES PIVOT ON
TURNTABLES THAT ARE CONNECTED DIAGONALLY SO THAT THE WHEELS TURN IN
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THIS PERMITS THE TRAILER TO TRACK AND PREVENTS
REAR END SWING WHEN TURNING.
CAUTION
WHEN DRIVING, THE OPERATOR MUST REMAIN AWARE OF THIS EXTRA WIDTH WHILE
MOVING AMONG OBSTACLES.
CAUTION
THE OPERATOR MUST BECOME AWARE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM USED ON THE
TRAILERS IN HIS WORK AREA.
