Safety advice
2.7 TYRES
• When working with tyres, the trailer
should be immobilised with parking
brake and secured against rolling by
placing chocks under wheels. Wheel
may be taken off the trailer axle only
when the trailer is not loaded.
• Repair work on the wheels or tyres
should be carried out by persons
trained and entitled to do so. This
work should be carried out using ap-
propriate tools.
• Inspect tightness of wheel nuts after
the first use of the trailer, every 2 - 3
hours during first month of work and
then every 30 hours of use (travel).
The inspection should be repeated
individually if a wheel has been re-
moved from the wheel axle. Wheel
nuts should be tightened according
to recommendations provided in
sections.
TECHNICAL
NANCE / Wheel assembly and disas-
sembly, PERIODIC INSPECTIONS /
Inspect bolt connections.
• Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres
or high speeds when turning.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly.
Air pressure in tyres should be also
checked during the whole day of
intensive work. Please note that
higher temperatures could raise tyre
pressure by as much as 1 bar. With
this increase in temperature and
pressure, reduce load or speed. Do
not release air from warm tyres to
adjust the pressure or the tyres will
be underinflated when temperatures
return to normal.
• Protect tyre valves using suitable
caps to avoid soiling.
