Pronar T400
Before loading, make sure the tailgate is closed. Check that there are no objects or people in
the load box. Avoid dropping loads that can damage the trailer from height. The use of other
loads than those foreseen by the Manufacturer is prohibited.
In order to facilitate loading by reducing the height of the front wall of the trailer, it is
recommended to open the front tilting extension - figure (4.2).
Due to the different density of materials, the use of the total load box volumetric capacity may
exceed the maximum mass load capacity of the trailer. Approximate specific volumetric
weight of selected materials is presented in table (4.2). Pay special attention not to overload
the trailer.
DANGER
It is forbidden to transport people and animals.
The trailer is designed for transporting crops and voluminous products. Transport of
other loads specified in TABLE (4.2) is allowed.
When loading while driving, keep a constant distance between the machines and align the
travel speed with the forage harvester or combine.
The hydraulic system of the front extension during operation is under pressure, use it
maintaining extreme caution.
