Unloading - PRONAR T700 Operator's Manual

SECTION 4
• When driving, comply with all road traffic regulations, indicate an intention to turn
using indicator lamps, keep all road lights and indicator lights clean at all times
and ensure they are in good condition. Any damaged or lost lamps or indicator
lights must be immediately repaired or replaced.
• Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches or driving on roadside slopes. Driving across
such obstacles could cause the trailer or the tractor to suddenly tilt. This is of
special importance because loaded trailer's centre of gravity is higher (especially
a high volume load), which reduces safety. Driving near ditches or channels is
dangerous as there is a risk of the wheels sliding down the slope or the slope
collapsing.
• Speed must be sufficiently reduced before making a turn or driving on an uneven
road or a slope.
• When driving, avoid sharp turns especially on slopes.
• Please note that the braking distance of tractor and trailer combination is
substantially increased at higher speeds and loads carried in the trailer.
• Monitor trailer's behaviour when travelling on an uneven terrain, and adjust driving
speed to road conditions, slow down early enough when turning.
• The trailer is designed to operate on slopes up to 8° . Driving trailer across ground
with steeper slopes may cause the trailer to tip over as a result of loss of stability.
Prolonged driving across steep ground may lead to loss of braking efficiency.
IMPORTANT!
Travel with a high-volume load by ruts, ditches roadside slopes etc. constitutes a great
risk of overturning the trailer. Exercise particular caution.
