7. Use and operation
Read carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, please contact the
manufacturer to exclude the possibility of operating errors.
7.1 Trailer operation
When coupling the tandem three-way tipper, there is a risk of crushing
between the trailer and the towing vehicle.
Before manoeuvring, ensure that there is nobody between the towing
vehicle and the trailer.
Always use a signaller for manoeuvring.
Never walk between the towing vehicle and the trailer while the towing
vehicle is moving.
Before coupling, secure the towing vehicle and trailer to prevent rolling
away, and apply the hand brake or wheel chocks under the wheels.
7.1.1
Before operation
-
Instruct unauthorised persons away from the machine.
-
Carry out a visual inspection of the entire machine and the tools.
-
Check the fill levels of lubricants and auxiliary materials.
-
Unlock all devices used for stopping in an emergency.
-
The hydraulic connections should always be connected to the same ports on the
towing vehicle.
-
When connecting hydraulic hoses to the tractor hydraulics, ensure that the
hydraulics are depressurised on both the tractor and trailer side.
7.1.2
Setting up the trailer coupling on the towing vehicle
Move the towing device of the towing vehicle to the correct height.
Position the trailer coupling (A) on the towing
vehicle so that the trailer is horizontal when it is
hitched.
