Ice-Protect Easy:
The roof tarp lifting device (Ice-Protect
Easy) is used to prevent water accumulat-
ing on the roof tarp of a trailer and/or to re-
move any water accumulations already on
the roof tarp. In addition, the raised roof
tarp prevents the accumulation of condens-
ation building up on the inside of the roof
tarp. If the tarp roof is raised, the trailer
may reach a height which is above the per-
mitted limit values for road operations. The
roof tarp lifting device must be lowered
prior to departure. It needs to be operated
by trained personnel. Other persons must
not linger in the danger area of the roof
tarp lifting device. Maintenance may only
be carried out by specialist staff. Any other
use is not intended and can result in dam-
age to the vehicle and the device.
○ The device is only to be operated if in
technically perfect condition and only
as intended, with awareness of safety
and hazards, and in compliance with
the operation instructions.
○ Have any faults that could impair
safety immediately repaired by an au-
thorised specialist workshop.
○ Do not use the roof tarp lifting device if
ice sheets have already formed on the
roof tarp.
