Using Under-Run Protective Devices - PRONAR T286 Operator's Manual

SECTION 4
• When the trailer is operated all day, stop working for a minimum of one hour in
the afternoon.
• Adhere to 30 minutes rest for cooling tyres after driving 75 km or after 150
minutes continuous travel depending on which occurs first.
• Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.

4.10 USING UNDER-RUN PROTECTIVE DEVICES

Side under-run protection devices can be installed as additional equipment of the trailer. The
under-run protection devices fulfil a very important role in road safety and therefore their
good technical condition should be ensured.
The under-run protection devices are mounted to proper brackets (2) of the lower frame, by
means of bolts and nuts. The design of the side under-run protection devices enables their
locking in the transport position and in the raised position.
DANGER
Under-run protection devices must not be used as supporting elements while climbing
on the trailer.
Do NOT move off or drive when under-run protection device is raised. Before driving,
make sure that under-run protection devices are lowered and locked in the lower
position.
Unless necessary, do not leave the under-run protection device in the raised position.
Lifting
Pull the under-run protection device by holding its protective strip.
Raise the protection device to a proper height.
Move the under-run protection device away.
Lowering
Pull the underrun protection device.
Appropriate recesses and oblong holes of the bracket make it
possible to lock the protection devices in the raised position.
