SECTION 4

4.8 USING UNDERRUN PROTECTION DEVICES

The trailer can be additionally equipped with the side under-run protection devices. The
underrun protection devices fulfil a very important role in road safety and therefore their good
technical condition should be ensured.
The underrun protection devices are mounted to proper brackets of the lower frame, by
means of bolts and nuts. The design of the side underrun protection devices enables their
locking in the transport position and in the raised position.
Lifting
• Pull the underrun protection device by holding its protective strip.
• Raise the protection device to a proper height.
• Move the underrun protection device away. Appropriate recess and slotted holes
allow the locking of under-run protective device in the raised position.
Lowering
• Pull the underrun protection device.
• Lower the underrun protection device and press it until the clamping ring pin locks
into the pawl (4).
DANGER
Underrun protection devices must not be used as supporting elements while climbing the
load box. Use the ladder or the platform on the front wall of the load box for this purpose.
Do NOT move off or drive when under-run protection device is raised. Before driving,
make sure that underrun protection devices are lowered and locked in the lower position.
Unless necessary, do not leave the underrun protection device in the raised position.
