4. Basic safety instructions
When driving on public roads, be aware of the following:
When driving on public roads, the provisions of the country-specific registration regulations must be observed. A licence is
required to operate agricultural trailers.
(The operator is personally responsible for the registration of the vehicle.)
Failure to observe the safety instructions and warnings can pose a risk to persons, property and the
environment.
Be aware of the legal requirements of your respective country.
Lost permit documents can only be replaced by agreement with the administrative authority specified below.
A duplicate certificate will be given to the customer by the administrative authority.
Before driving on public roads:
- Before travelling on public roads, ensure that the maximum permissible dimensions, weights as well as axle, drawbar
and trailer loads dictated by EU or national law are not exceeded.
- The tank openings must all be closed.
- The supporting mechanism must be fully retracted.
- For equipment with a connection for the tractor hydraulics, the hydraulic lines between the towing vehicle and tank
trailer must be disconnected or their actuation device locked.
- If the tank trailer is equipped with an overrun brake, the breakaway cable must be attached to the tractor.
- The steering axle must be locked when travelling straight ahead or reversing.
- The steering axle must be released shortly before turning.
All screw joints/connections must be checked prior to initial start-up.
Carrying persons on the tank trailer is prohibited.
The tank trailer can tip to the side in tight corners.
In the case of extended storage, note the following:
- Retract all hydraulic cylinders.
- Thoroughly lubricate all movable parts (risk of rust).
- If there is a risk of frost, empty the turbo filler and compressor (centrifugal pump).
- The line must be drained via the gate valve so that it and the valve etc. are not damaged by slurry.
4.1 Designated use
The Fliegl vacuum tanker is intended for general use in agricultural applications.
It is designed and suitable for transporting and spreading sludge, slurry, biogas fermentation residue etc.
Please contact the manufacturer regarding the trailer's suitability for conveying special transport media.
Always use a signaller when reversing (as required by German road traffic regulations).
