E. SPECIFIC PROCEDURES
1. TRAILER COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING
1.1. COUPLING
Preliminary inspections
Prior to coupling the trailer to the tractor, it is extremely important the following checks are carried out:
•
the fifth wheel rubbing plate and mounting must be in perfect condition (no tears, deformation or dents),
• the kingpin and kingpin mounting must be in perfect condition,
• a layer of grease must be present on the fifth wheel rubbing plate, the pin and the fifth wheel and these various
components should be greased sufficiently,
• there should be no foreign objects (imbedded in the layer of grease) which could obstruct the correct coupling
of the tractor and the trailer.
Procedure
To couple the trailer, proceed as follows:
• Apply trailer parking brake (see 3.9).
• Check whether the locking of the fifth wheel is open.
• Check whether the rear of the fifth wheel is pointing downwards.
• Check the coupling height (see § 1) and use the landing legs to adjust (see § 2). If the coupling height is correct,
the fifth wheel will lift the trailer during the coupling procedure.
• Ensure the tractor and trailer are correctly aligned before coupling the trailer.
• Slowly reverse the tractor until it locks into a coupled position.
• Check whether the tractor-trailer combination has been coupled correctly by attempting to drive forward slowly
whilst the parking brake of the trailer is still on.
• Visually check a correct coupling has been made and that the locking pin of the fifth wheel is in the correct
position.
• Connect the electrical lines and the brake lines whilst respecting the colour coding.
• Once the electrical connections have been made, a visual check of all functions
must always be carried out.
• Check to ensure all rear floodlights, which could bother traffic coming from be-
hind, are switched off.
• If there is any visible corrosion or other fault (e.g. cables without insulation), the-
se must be rectified immediately in order to avoid short-circuiting.
• Damage to plugs, electrical cabinet,... should be rectified as soon as possible.
• For safety reasons it is not recommended to drive with coupled hydraulic con-
nections. It is better to connect the hydraulic hose to a dummy coupling on the
tractor.
Exceptions which do not represent a fault in the ABS system:
• Warning light flashes 4 times once ignition has been switched on: this indicates
worn brake pads on the trailer.
• Warning light flashes 8 times once ignition has been switched on: the trailer is
due for service.
• Raise the landing legs to their highest position. On the steel landing legs, fasten the lever in the safety hook and
for the aluminium landing legs, position the locking pins (see D 2).
• Release trailer parking brake (see 3.9).
• Test the ABS system. A warning light on the dashboard of the tractor provides information on the ABS system of
the trailer to the operator. If the ABS system is functioning correctly, the ABS light will light up when the ignition
is switched on and will go out at a speed of 7 km/hour or after 2 seconds.
1.2. UNCOUPLING
To uncouple the trailer, proceed as follows:
• Apply trailer parking brake (see D 3.9).
• Lower the landing legs until they can take over the weight which is resting on the tractor. The air suspension of the
tractor is used to adjust the aluminium landing legs. See D 2.
• Disconnect the electrical connections and brake lines.Open de schotelkoppeling.
• Ensure dust, dirt or water cannot get into the couplings and/or air lines. To this end,
the covers for the couplings should be placed over the apertures.
• Close the covers of the electrical connection box securely and store the cables or
secure them in a safe place.
• Always pull the plugs, and never the cables.
• Open the fifth wheel coupling.
• Carefully drive the tractor away from underneath the trailer.
2. TRAILER LOADING AND UNLOADING
2.1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The big force the self-lock system exercises can cause serious injuries or damage.
Take following precautions
• Open the doors before starting the system.
• During the full duration of the loading and unloading process, ensure no one is pre-
sent in the area where the load may end up.
• Ensure there is always someone near the emergency stop during loading or unloading.
• During driving and when the system is not in use, the pump should be switched off at
all times.
Ensure there is no one underneath the system when the pump is switched on. A warning
sticker is located on the side guard of the trailer at the height of moving components of the
moving floor system.
Access to the trailer is forbidden when the tractor is able to supply power to the moving
floor system.
Ensure that no one is able to activate the moving floor system or the hydraulic rear door
when work is being carried out in the trailer.
It is recommended a second person supervises whilst work is being carried out in the
trailer.
Check there is no one left in the trailer before activating the moving floor system or before
closing the trailer door. Driving whilst persons are present in the trailer is forbidden.
• The tractor-trailer combination is ready for use.
