Unloading - PRONAR RC3100 Operator's Manual

Section 4

4.11 UNLOADING

The trailer must be positioned to travel for-
wards and be hitched to the tractor. Un-
loading should only take place when the
trailer is placed on level and hard surface.
Bulky materials should be unloaded using
a loader, conveyor or forklift truck. The ma-
chines transported on the trailer platform
should be unloaded using a second towing
vehicle. Self-propelled machine should be
driven down the trailer platform.
During work, ensure good visibility and
exercise due caution. Immobilise tractor
and trailer with parking brake and switch
off tractor engine. Place wheel chocks

under trailer wheel. Just before unloading,
remove all securing elements (belts,
ropes, etc.). Unloading the trailer should
be carried out in accordance with the
general principles of workplace health and
safety.
ATTENTION
Lower the ramps until they fully rest on the ground
and unfold both rear supports. Otherwise, when a
machine is driven off the load platform, the trailer will
have a tendency to raise the drawbar, which may
cause damage to the tractor hitch or trailer drawbar
eye.
If unloading takes place on soft ground, place
planks, plates or other materials under the ramps
and rear supports to prevent them from sinking into
the ground.
