Loading and unloading a sepa-
rated silo vehicle can cause the
vehicle to tip over.
Only load or unload the silo vehicle
when it is attached to the tractor.
7.3.3. Considerations During Lo-
ading
– Unloading
There is a risk of injury from
unprofessional loading and un-
loading operations.
Safety reminder
•
During the loading/unloading oper-
ations, the parking brake must be
activated, and the vehicle must be
fixed with wheel chocks.
•
To prevent slipping, tipping or sink-
ing of the vehicle, the vehicle must
be parked on a flat and firm sur-
face.
•
Ensure that you made a proper
load distribution in compliance with
all laws, rules and regulations.
•
The suspension of the vehicle may
be raised during the loading/ un-
loading process. Because of this
reason, the vehicle height may be
bigger than the permitted height
limits. Always set the trailer in the
driving position after loading and
unloading. Always check height
limits when entering tunnels and
passages.
•
Make sure that the weight or di-
mensions of the load do not ex-
ceed the technical and legal limits.
•
Note that vehicle stability may be
affected by the load distribution,
the braking distance may be
longer and a larger turning radius
may be required.
•
During loading, consider the laws
of the countries you are going to
and passing through, as well as
the laws.
•
Give attention to the maximum
axle weight and total weight.
•
Comply all national/international
laws, rules, and regulations about
loading and occupational safety.
7.3.4. Loading Preparation
Keep available and wear the appropriate
protective equipment, depending on the
material to be loaded. Follow ADR regulati-
ons and material safety instructions.
Depending on the previous load that was
transported, get the silo vehicle properly
cleaned before you make a new loading.
Only get onto the silo tank when the folding
handrail is raised and if the vehicle is secu-
red against accidental movement.
•
The handbrake of the vehicle must
be engaged.
•
The vehicle must be level.
Before loading, make sure of the fol-
lowing:
•
Check the shipper’s safety preca-
utions,
•
Check to see that all the copulings
are secure,
•
Make sure of the compatibility of
the product that is to be loaded
with the materials of the vehicle
and its seals.
Product residues in the tank
can contaminate the products
in the subsequent loading and
makes them unusable.
Clean inside the tank if they get dirty.
You can fill any load that is permitted for the
silo vehicle via manholes or via the filling
neck.
If you loosen or tighten the man-
holes under pressure, the man-
hole can tear away explosively
from the silo tank and hit you or other
people.
