– Inspect the trailer steering to determine its
type. This is particularly important for long
trailer trains due to the cut-off effect when
cornering
NOTE
If you need to travel on public roads, ensure
that the registration plates conform to local
public road regulations.
– Release the trailer braking system and re-
move any chocks from behind the trailer
wheels
– Check the width of the trailer or of the load
at the widest point to ensure free passage
– Adjust the rear-view mirrors as required
– Before moving, check that the path is clear
in the direction of travel
– Gently start the tractor in forward travel to
tighten all the loose parts of the trailer cou-
plings, then gradually accelerate until you
reach the appropriate speed
– When approaching your destination, reduce
your speed in advance so that you are able
to bring the tractor and trailer to a gradual
stop. A sudden stop could cause the load to
be offset. There is a risk of the trailers jack-
knifing
NOTE
It is impossible to reverse a trailer train back
into position. You must learn to position the
trailers the first time.
