4.4 LOADING AND SECURING LOAD

4.4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT LOADING

Before loading, make certain that the load box walls and chute slide gate are properly closed
and secured. The trailer must be positioned to travel forwards and hitched to the tractor.
Loading should only take place, when trailer is placed on flat level surface and hitched to
tractor. If the trailer is equipped with tarpaulin cover, it should be rolled. If load does not exert
pressure on the side walls or wall extensions, the linking cable may be disengaged. In other
cases it must be installed between the middle stakes of the load box. The trailer's load box
may be damaged if there is no linking cable.
Regardless of the type of load carried, the user is obliged to secure it in such a manner that
the load is unable to spread and cause contamination of the road. If this is impossible, do
NOT transport this type of load.
