4 OPERATION GUIDELINES
OPERATING SAFETY
4.1 TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
The Midland Side Dump Gravel Trailers combine
light weight construction methods and high strength
materials to become a safe, reliable and efficient
material hauling unit. Be sure to familiarize yourself
with the Trailer by reading and understanding this
Operator's Manual and the Safety Alerts before
attempting to operate it. With careful use and a good
maintenance schedule, the unit will give many years
of trouble-free use.
It is the responsibility of the owner and operator
to be familiar with the weight and loading of your
trailer or combinations of trailers. Trailer weight
and loading vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Be familiar with yours and any that you will be
travelling through.
1. Read and understand all the Operator’s
Manual and all safety signs before operating
or adjusting the Midland Trailer.
2. Do not allow riders on any part of the trailer
during either field operation or road and
highway travel.
3. Drive very carefully when negotiating hilly or
uneven terrain.
4. Keep hands, feet, clothing and hair away from
all moving parts.
5. Place all controls in neutral, stop the truck
engine, set park brake, remove ignition key
and wait for all moving parts to stop and
all air pressure be fully exhausted before
servicing, adjusting, repairing or maintaining.
6. Stay away from side of trailer when truck
engine is running. Keep others away.
7. Use care when dumping load. Always know
where your operating partner is before
moving trailer body to prevent injury.

all running gear in good condition at all
times.

children, before starting up and operating

oncoming traffic.

trailer unit(s) make sure that the tractor and
trailer are on level ground and that the trailer
