4.5 UNLOADING

The unloading of the Pronar T400 trailer load box is done by opening the tailgate (2) and
activating the conveyor mechanism (3). In additional equipment the trailer has dosing drums
(4), which facilitate unloading of transported cargo. The hydraulic conveyor mechanism is
used for automatic unloading of the trailer. This solution ensures unloading of transported
materials in difficult conditions, e.g. in low buildings, on slopes or during winds when
unloading by tipping the load box could not be carried out.
DANGER
It is forbidden to unload the trailer on an unstable surface.
Maintain extreme caution when closing the tailgate, as damage may cause serious injury.
It is forbidden to stay in the load box during unloading.
Maintain extreme caution when handling dosing drums due to rotating power
transmission elements.
When unloading with dosing drums, make sure that there are no persons in the unloading
area because of the possibility of foreign bodies (stones, branches, etc.) being thrown out
when the rollers are turning.
