D. SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS
Top swinging door emergency control unit
If the electric control unit for the top swinging door does not appear to function, the top swinging door may still be
opened or closed by using the emergency control on the bulkhead of the trailer. To this end, the small yellow rod C
located in the storage area of the control unit for the top swinging door should be used.
Figure 6.2.3.a.– Emergency control C top swinging door and small rod
Also ensure there is no one within a distance of 10 m of the top swinging door.
As the operator is not able to carry out a visual check, it is recommended to use the help
of a second person during the movement of the door.
•
Check whether the hydraulic couplings of the tractor and trailer are clean.
•
Connect the hydraulic couplings between the tractor and the trailer in the correct manner.
•
Start the tractor motor, switch on the PTO/pump and increase the power. Leave the motor to run at a low rpm
when the top swinging door needs to be closed.
•
Switch on the tractor lights in order to supply electrical power to the trailer.
•
Push the lever on the distributor on the bulkhead to position “1”.

6.3. INSPECTION DOOR
The inspection door at the front of the trailer has been installed for:
•
checking the top seal of the floor slats,
•
checking the inside of the bulkhead,
•
checking the moving bulkhead.
Figure 6.3.a. – Inspection door
The inspection door should not be opened during loading or unloading of the trailer.
When entering the load space via the inspection door, a clear sign MUST be placed or hung
on the inspection door to indicate it may not be closed.
7. ROOF COVERING
7.1. CATWALK WITH LADDERS
Various versions of roof covering are available:
•
roll over sheet (see § 7.2),
•
hydraulically operated roof nets (see § 7.3).
Most trailers are equipped with a catwalk which can be accessed via the associated ladders. This area serves as a catwalk
for the operator, who can use it to:
•
open or close the sheet in an efficient and safe way,
•
check whether the load is not stacked too high or distributed unevenly after the loading process.
If the trailer is equipped with hydraulically operated roof nets, the catwalk will also be used to check and repair the roof
motors and roof nets.
