2 Safety
Your ANDERSON self-loading trailer was designed to reduce to a minimum the risks to the
operator. However, it must be used only for the work it was designed for. Additionally, since it
includes a powerful hydraulic system and moving metal parts and all these elements can cause
serious injury to humans or animals, it is strongly recommended to read and to closely adhere
to the following guidelines.
Safe Operators
Be familiar with operating procedures before using your TRB trailer. Also insist that these
directions be followed by all who use your self-loading trailer. Make sure that your operators
know the emergency telephone numbers and the location of your first aid kit. Only allow the
bale wrapper to be used by responsible people who have been fully trained in its safe
operation.
Danger Zone
Do not allow yourself to be disturbed during the operation of the machine. As an operator, you
must be the only person to move about the machine within a security zone of 10 meters (33
feet) diameter. During unloading, make sure that you are on stable, level ground. Do not
unload when the trailer is not level, as this could cause the trailer to overturn. Keep all other
people, especially children, away from the site, as well as domestic animals.
Secure Attachment to the Tractor
The machine must be properly attached to the fixed drawbar of the tractor so that the trailer
bed is completely horizontal. It is important to make sure that the hydraulic lift system is not in
the way of the hitch of the self-loading trailer.
Dangerous Situations
Pay attention to the stickers and the warning labels that appear on your machine. Know how to
make an emergency stop. Before starting the tractor, make sure that all controls are in neutral
position. It is always dangerous to stand on the machine. Keep fingers, hands, and feet away
from moving parts: chains, gears, etc. Remember that all parts are potentially dangerous.
Prevention
The clothes that you wear as an operator must be safe. If you work in the evening or at night,
make sure that you have sufficient lighting to work safely. Have a working fire extinguisher
within arm’s reach. Keep the protective shields and other security devices in place and never
use your trailer if they have been removed or damaged.
Safe Maintenance and Repair
Stop the tractor and remove the switch key from the tractor before performing maintenance,
adjustments, or repairs. Release the oil pressure before moving beneath certain hydraulically
lifted parts. Install the safety stands on the lift cylinders of the platform before working
underneath the platform.
Replace all defective or worn out parts. We recommend you use original or approved parts in
order to protect your warranty and to obtain optimal performance from your machine.
