Modification of the trailer without the written consent of the Manufacturer is forbidden. In
particular, do NOT weld, drill holes in, cut or heat the main structural elements of the
machine, which have a direct impact on the machine operation safety.

1.5 TRANSPORT

The hook trailer is ready for sale completely assembled and does not require packing.
Packing is only required for the machine's technical documentation and any extra fittings. The
trailer is delivered to the user either transported on a vehicle or, after being attached to a
tractor, independently (trailer towed with a tractor).

1.5.1 TRANSPORT ON VEHICLE

Loading and unloading of hook trailer from vehicle shall be conducted using loading ramp
with the aid of an agricultural tractor. During work, adhere to the general principles of
occupational health and safety (OHS) applicable to reloading work. Persons operating
reloading equipment must have the qualifications required to operate these machines. The
trailer must be properly connected with the tractor according to the requirements in this
Operators Manual. The trailer brake system must be started and checked before driving off or
onto ramp.
The hook trailer should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or chains
fitted with a tightening mechanism. Securing elements should be attached to the transport
lugs designed for this purpose (1) – figure (1.2).
IMPORTANT!
Do NOT raise the trailer by the transport lugs. They are used only as attachment points for
securing elements during transport.
Transport lugs are welded to the longitudinal members (2) of the lower frame. Use certified
and technically reliable securing measures. Worn straps, cracked securing catches, bent or
corroded hooks as well as other damage may disqualify use of the given element from use.
Carefully read the information contained in the Operator's Manual for the given securing
measure. Chocks or other objects without sharp edges should be placed under the wheels of
the trailer to prevent it from rolling. Trailer wheel blocks must be secured to the load platform
