Danger Warning
Driving with the trailer requires a great
deal of attention in order to guard
against a loss of control and the danger
of injury as a result of an imbalance ef-
fects on the pulling tractor.
The danger increases over-proportion-
ately at increased speed, when travel-
ling in curves and when travelling uphill
and downhill.
When driving in reverse this danger is
additionally increased through the dis-
crepancy in alignment between the line
of vision and body position, as well as
the altered powers of steering and steer-
ing reaction.
Generally, and particularly when
W
driving in reverse, you should
observe the following rules:
1. Look out for obstacles, particularly
those at ground level.
2. Only drive at a speed at which you
are always able to stop in time when
confronted with any possible
danger.
3. Only drive in reverse in 1st and 2nd
gear.
4. When driving in curves, as well as
when going uphill or downhill,
adjust the speed accordingly.
5. Only brake using the trailer brake.
