7.4 Parking the trailer safely
WARNING
Risk of accident due to instability and
rolling away!
Unintentional trailer movements can
cause serious injury and property dam-
age.
► Secure the trailer against rolling away
by applying the parking brake.
► Use the wheel chocks to prevent the
trailer from rolling away.
► Park the trailer on a solid surface to
avoid sinking in or tipping.
► Align the tractor unit and trailer behind
each other in a straight line.
► Load and unload the trailer such that
traffic hazards are ruled out.
► Be mindful of the trailer's stability
when loading and unloading while un-
coupled. If necessary, use additional
supports.
INFO
Desired ramp adjustments can only be
made in the hitched/coupled condition with
added compressed air. If rear braces have
been factory-fitted to the rear of the trailer,
adjust these according to the height of the
ramp.
► Drive the trailer onto firm and level
ground.
► Apply the parking brake (see "5.8.2
Parking brake", pg.40).
► Use wheel chocks to prevent the trailer
from rolling away (see "5.1 Using wheel
chocks", pg.24).
► Extend the landing leg winches (see
"5.2 Landing leg winches", pg.25).
► Extend the rear braces, if present (see
"5.3 Rear braces", pg.27).
► Disconnect the supply and control con-
nections (see "5.6 Supply and control con-
nections", pg.35).
