Tyres - PRONAR T386 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2
• During reversing one should use the assistance of another person. During
manoeuvring the person helping must stay at a safe distance from the danger
zone and be visible all the time to the tractor driver.
• Do NOT attempt to board trailer while travelling.
• During travel, guards protecting the rear light assemblies must be removed from
the light beam profiles and secured on the other side of the profiles using star
nuts (see figure (3.1) – item 13).
• When transporting the trailer with loaded load box on public roads, the maximum
distance between the rear fender (underrun protection device) and the rearmost
point of the vehicle (load box) should not exceed 400mm.
• Do NOT park trailer on slope.

2.1.7 TYRES

• When working with tyres, the trailer should be immobilised with parking brake and
secured against rolling by placing chocks under wheel. Wheels can be taken off
the trailer axle only when there is no load box on the trailer.
• Repair work on the wheels or tyres should be carried out by persons trained and
entitled to do so. This work should be carried out using appropriate tools.
• Inspect tightness of wheel nuts after the first use of the trailer, every 2 - 3 hours
during first month of work and then every 30 hours of use (travel). The inspection
should be repeated individually if a wheel has been removed from the wheel axle.
Wheel nuts should be tightened according to recommendations provided in
section 5 MAINTENANCE.
• Avoid potholes, sudden manoeuvres or high speeds when turning.
• Check the tyre pressure regularly. Pressure and tyres should be also checked
during the whole day of intensive work. Please note that higher temperatures
could raise tyre pressure by as much as 1 bar. At high temperatures and
pressure, reduce load or speed. Do not release air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure or the tyres will be underinflated when temperatures return to normal.
• Protect tyre valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling.
