then the speed rack will remain positioned at the zero speed mark and the duty rack will position itself in the Duty Rest position. The chart
table will continue to move and this will cause minimal speed and duty traces to be drawn, but
NO

8.0 FILLING IN TACHOGRAPH CHARTS
Note: This is a legal requirement – see Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85 Article 15 for full a description.
8.1 Driver and Crew Chart Centre Fields
Each driver and crew member must have their own chart, which is fitted into the tachograph as described in section 5.0, ‘Insertion and
Removal of Tachograph Charts’. At shift changes, the charts
must
be exchanged in order to ensure that the chart for the current driver is
always in the top operating position and the chart for the current crew member (if there is one) is fitted in the lower operating position. At
the beginning of a shift, a blank chart is provided to the driver (and to the crew member in the case of two-person operation). A chart
requires the fields identified on the diagram shown in Figure 14 to be manually filled in.
Note: For single driver operation, the operation of the tachograph with only a Driver chart inserted is acceptable. However,
NEVER insert only a crew chart into the tachograph as no Driver 1 details will be recorded and this is against the law.
Figure 14 Fields to be Completed at the Start of a Shift (page 25)
At the end of the shift, the fields indicated in Figure 15
must
be filled in.

8.2 Manual Trace Indication
In the event that a chart has to be filled in manually, for example carrying out activities or resting when the chart holder is not allocated to a
vehicle or in the event of a tachograph failure, the reverse side of the chart must be filled in with a hand drawn duty trace showing the
various duty modes during the shift.
Note: Do not press too hard when drawing a manual trace, in order to avoid marking the front of the chart. The manual trace runs
anti-clockwise with respect to time, which is the reverse of the direction that the automatic trace runs.
