• Trailer may be towed on slopes of up to 8° and unloading must take place only on
a level surface.
• When not connected to the tractor, the trailer must be immobilised using parking
brake and possibly also with chocks or other objects without sharp edges placed
under the front and back wheels. Do NOT leave unsecured trailer. In the event of
machine malfunction, pull over on the hard shoulder avoiding any risk to other
road users and position reflective warning triangle according to traffic regulations.
• When driving on public roads, the trailer must be marked with a slow-moving
vehicle warning sign attached to the rear wall of load box, if the trailer is the last
vehicle in the group.
• While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or
authorised reflective warning triangle.
• When driving, comply with all road traffic regulations, indicate an intention to turn
using indicator lamps, keep all road lights and indicator lights clean at all times
and ensure they are in good condition. Any damaged or lost lamps or indicator
lights must be immediately repaired or replaced.
• Avoid ruts, depressions, ditches or driving on roadside slopes. Driving across
such obstacles could cause the trailer or the tractor to suddenly tilt. This is of
special importance because loaded trailer's centre of gravity is higher (especially
a high volume load), which reduces safety. Driving near ditches or channels is
dangerous as there is a risk of the wheels sliding down the slope or the slope
collapsing.
• Speed must be sufficiently reduced before making a turn or driving on an uneven
road or a slope.
• When driving, avoid sharp turns especially on slopes.
• Please note that the braking distance of the tractor and trailer combination is
substantially increased at higher speeds and loads.
• Monitor trailer's behaviour when travelling on an uneven terrain, and adjust driving
speed to road conditions, slow down early enough when turning.
