5.8 INSPECTION OF TRAILER PRIOR TO MOVING OFF

• Before hitching the trailer to tractor,
make certain that electrical leads and
hydraulic and pneumatic conduits are
not damaged.
• Check completeness and technical
condition of trailer lights.
• Check if all lights and reflectors are
clean.
• Make certain that the tractor is
equipped with a warning reflective
triangle.
• Check if the brake cylinder vent holes
are not blocked with impurities and
that there is no water or ice inside the
brake cylinder. Check if the brake cyl-
inder is correctly installed.
Clean the cylinder, if needed.
In winter, it may be necessary
to defrost the cylinder and drain
water through unblocked vent
holes. Replace damaged cyl-
inder with a new one. When
installing the brake cylinder,
maintain its original position with
regard to bracket.
• When moving off check if the main
brake system operates correctly.
Please note that the proper air
pressure level in the trailer's air tank
is required to ensure proper oper-
ation of the pneumatic system.

tem or brake system.
