Safety Regulations
Trailer operation
• Trailors without a power-brake system may only be moved if
the braking force of the Tow Tractor is sufficient for a safe
stop. For the permissible trailer load please look to the truck
plate.
• The tow tractor must be operated in such away that safe
driving and braking of the towed vehicle is ensured for all
driving movements.
• Please observe the information on the name plate of the
trailer coupling.
• Trailer loads effect the braking force of your Tow Tractor; this
particularly applies to traveling on grades.
• During the coupling process no persons are allowed
between the trailer and the moving towing tractor.
• After each connection of trailers, the operator shall check
before driving off :
1.the trailer coupling is secured against becoming loose.
2. the existing connections for brakes and lighting are con-
nected.
3.the existing brake power regulator has been adjusted to
the actual hailing load
• Disconnected trailers shall be secured against unintentional
movement (e.g. with blocks).
• If the Tow Tractor to be connected is operated from the out-
side, it shall be equipped for this purpose and the operator
shall not step between the Tow Tractor and the trailer. If an
assistant is used to connect trailers, the operator shall
ensure that the person is not endangered during the cou-
pling process.
