5.2.3. Parking of the Low-Loader
In case you will park your Low-Loader,
which is not connected to the truck, for a
long time, place the aluminium support
under the gooseneck and loading plat-
form, as shown in the picture on the side,
and park it with minimum pressure on
the gooseneck lowering-lifting cylinders
and airbags.

5.3. Loading Unloading Operations
Safety Reminder
During the loading/unloading opera-
tions, the parking brake must be ac-
tivated, and the vehicle must be
fixed with Wheel chocks.
To prevent slipping, tipping or sink-
ing of the vehicle, the vehicle must
be parked on a flat and firm surface.
Ensure that you made a proper load
distribution in compliance with all
laws, rules and regulations.
The suspension of the vehicle may
be raised during the loading/ un-
loading process. Because of this
reason, the vehicle height may be
bigger than the permitted height lim-
its. Always set the trailer in the driv-
ing position after loading and
unloading. Always check height lim-
its when entering tunnels and
passages.
Make sure that the weight or dimen-
sions of the load do not exceed the
technical and legal limits.
Note that vehicle stability may be af-
fected by the load distribution, the
braking distance may be longer and
a larger turning radius may be
required.
During loading, consider the laws of
the countries you are going to and
passing through, as well as the
laws.
Give attention to the maximum axle
weight and total weight.
Comply all national/international
laws, rules, and regulations about
loading and occupational safety.
5.4. Cautions During the Parking and
Stopping
Involuntary trailer movements, un-
stable posture and insufficient
safety at night may occur serious
accidents and injuries.
Use the parking brake and wheel
chocks while stopping.
If you are going to park the vehicle
in a public traffic area, you must use
the necessary marking plate in ac-
cordance with legal regulations.
5.5. Loading
The load must be fixed so that it
does not move while the vehicle is
in motion or during sudden stops.
Distribute any load as low as possi-
ble on the loading floor. The load's
center of gravity must always be
above the vehicle's centerline.
After the loading / unloading opera-
tion is completed, all the final side
structures are securely in place.
