General safety tips for using the trailer

Tips for travelling with the trailer
The handling of the tractor is influenced by the trailer coupled to it.
• Danger of tipping exists when working on slopes.
• The driving must be adapted to the corresponding terrain and
ground conditions.
• The towing vehicle is to be
sufficiently equiped with weights
at the front or at the rear in order
to guarantee the steering and
braking capacity (a minimum of
20% of the vehicle's tare weight
on the front axle).
• The transport of persons on the
machine is not permitted.
Tips for coupling and uncoupling the trailer
• Danger of injury exists when coupling the implement to the
tractor!
• As long as the tractor is moving backwards, do not step between
it and the trailer when coupling.
• Nobody is to stand between the tractor and trailer without the
vehicles being secured against rolling with the parking brake
and/or wheel chocks.
• Drive shaft connection or disconnection is only to be undertaken
when the motor has stopped.
Parking the implement
• When the implement ist parked, either
remove the driveshaft and store it, or secure
it with a chain.
Do not use retaining chain (H) for this.
Only use the trailer according to re-
gulations!
Regulations for Use: See chapter "Technical
Data".
• The trailer's load limits (permitted axle load, support load, total
weight) may not be exceeded. The relevant details are located
on the right side of the trailer.
• In addition, observe the power limits of the tractor being used.

Travelling on roads

• Observe the road rules.
• The tailgate must be closed when travelling on public roads.
Lighting devices must be fitted vertically to the road.

PUTTING INTO OPERATION

Before starting work

a. Before commencing work, the operator must be aware of all
operating devices and functions. The learning of these is too late
after having already commenced operation!
b. The vehicle is to be tested for traffic and operating safety before
each operation.
c. The danger of being crushed or cut exists in the Pick-up, cutting
unit, tailgate and upper extension areas. All persons must be
shown out of these areas before activating hydraulic equipment
and turning on the drive.
d. Before driving the vehicle, the driver must ensure that nobody
will be endangered and that no obstructions are present. If the
driver is unable to see and have an overall view of the roadway
directly behind the trailer, he must be guided by somebody while
reversing.
e. Observe the safety tips which are attached to the trailer. An
explanation of what the individual graphic warning symbols mean
can be found on page 4.
f. Observe also the tips in the respective chapters and in the
supplement to this operating manual.
