3. TRAILER USAGE
Proper Usage
This trailer is designed for agricultural use with a compact tractor. It is not intended or specified for
road use. Trailer tyres are not designed for road speeds or use.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph) when towing the trailer and always reduce speed on rough, uneven
and slippery surfaces. Avoid making any sudden stops when towing.
Make sure the controls are operated only when seated in the tractor’s seat. Always ensure the
operating area is clear of bystanders and obstructions when using the trailer. Ensure persons do not
stand, walk or work underneath the trailer when raised.
Proper Loading
The trailer is designed to bear a maximum of 1.5tn of weight, please do not overload. Be mindful of the
type of load on the trailer. Loose loads should be secured. All loads, especially liquid loads, should be
moved slowly with smooth movements when cornering, accelerating or braking.
Never carry people in the trailer or on any portion of the trailer or trailer attachments.
Proper Use On Hills & Cornering
When working on slopes always set brakes on the tractor and trailer. Shift down before starting up or
down a hill with a heavy load.
Turn into corners or ascend/descend any slopes or hills at a low speed. Ensure that steering is made at
a gradual angle rather than sharp turns to prevent the load from tipping.
Always make sure that at least 20% of the tractor's weight is on the tractor’s front wheels for safe
operation and manoeuvrability.
Do not use on steep slopes, especially when loaded.
