Transport; Environmental Hazards - PRONAR T780 Translation Of The Original Instructions

1.5 TRANSPORT

The trailer is ready for sale in a completely assembled state and does not require packing.
Packing is only required for the machine's technical and any extra fittings. The trailer is
delivered to the user either transported on a vehicle or, after being attached to a tractor,
independently (towed).
ATTENTION!
When transporting independently, the user must familiarise himself with the content of
these instructions and observe their recommendations. When being transported on a
motor vehicle the trailer must be mounted on the vehicle's platform in accordance with
the transport safety requirements. The driver of the vehicle should take particular care
while transporting the trailer. This is due to the vehicle's centre of gravity shifting
upwards when loaded with the machine.
When loading and unloading the trailer, comply with the general principles of workplace
health and safety for reloading work. Persons operating reloading equipment must have the
qualifications required to operate these machines.
The trailer should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or chains fitted
with a tightening mechanism. The fastening equipment used must have a valid safety
certificate. Wedges or other objects without sharp edges should be placed under the wheels
of the trailer to prevent it from rolling. The wedges must be fixed to the platform of the
vehicle. During reloading work, particular care should be taken not to damage parts of the
trailer's fittings or the lacquer coating.
Fixing belts or chains can be attached to transport lugs, welded to the bottom side of lower
frame. Longitudinal rails and other strong structural elements of the upper or lower frame can
be also used to secure the load. When securing the load special attention should be paid to
correct mounting of the lockbox.

1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited
biodegradability. While carrying out maintenance and repair work which involves the risk of
an oil leak, this work should take place on an oil resistant floor or surface. In the event of oil
leaking into the environment, first of all safeguard the source of the leak, and then remove
the leaked oil using available means. Remaining oil must be collected using sorbents.
