SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

Warnings and instructions in these operating instructions do not cover all of the possible situations that may arise. Users must employ common sense and due caution.

• Do not use the product to transport persons, either sitting or standing.
• Children must not play, stand or climb on the product.
• Check the product for wear and damage before use.
• Check the tyre pressure before use.
• Do not climb up on the product when it is moving.
• Do not go under a raised flatbed. Risk of personal injury through crushing.
• Immediately repair or replace damaged parts.
• Check, and if necessary re-tighten or secure assembled parts before use.
• Do not exceed the maximum permitted load.
• Avoid driving over ditches and over large holes in the road or terrain when transporting loads.
• Be careful when driving and manoeuvring on steep slopes - risk of tipping over.
• Always maintain a low speed when driving on steep slopes, in terrain, or on other rough surfaces.
• Do not drive or manoeuvre near public roads, ditches, or streams, etc.
• Never exceed 30 km/h - risk of personal injury and/or material damage.
• Be careful when loading and unloading.
• Only use recommended towing vehicles (garden tractors and ATVs).
• Always check before use that the trailer is coupled correctly to, and locked in, the towing vehicle.
• Never drive with the flatbed in raised position.
• Do not overfill the trailer. Material that falls out over the dropsides can cause the trailer or towing vehicle wheels to lose traction and skid.
• Do not overfill the flatbed if the load is to be tipped. Large and heavy loads can be difficult to handle and tip.
• Check that there is free space over the flatbed when tipping.
• Close the dropsides when transporting the trailer.
• The flatbed must be empty when disconnecting the trailer from the vehicle.
• Do not use the trailer for any other purpose than the one it is intended to be used for.
• Make sure that the weight of the towing vehicle and the driver is always greater than the weight of the trailer and load, for good driving characteristics.
• Do not use the trailer on public roads.
• Be careful on sharp corners - the tyres on the towing vehicle can rub against the trailer.
• Always reduce speed before cornering with the trailer.
• Be careful and pay attention when reversing. As far as possible reverse straight back - if you need to turn when reversing there is a risk of the trailer knocking into the towing vehicle.
• Use wheel chocks to stop the trailer rolling away when it is not connected to a vehicle.
• If any of the nuts need replacing, replace them with the same type of nyloc-nuts.
