2.2 Intended use
The Box Carrier is designed and intended
for transporting swap bodies containers.
Intended use includes the observance of
all operating and maintenance instructions
supplied with the vehicle as well as the ob-
servance of the maintenance intervals and
conditions prescribed therein.
The KRONE trailer and its superstructures
are intended exclusively for legal transport-
ation purposes in compliance with applic-
able laws, rules and regulations.
Operational reliability of the vehicle is guar-
anteed only if all applicable instructions,
settings, laws, rules, regulations, and limit-
ations are fully complied with.

manufacturing systems in compliance with
all applicable safety-related laws, rules,
and regulations. Nevertheless, operation of
the trailer incorporates dangers for life and
limb of the operator and other personnel,
or danger of equipment damage, or opera-
tional problems.
► The trailer is to be operated only if in
technically adequate state, and in ac-
cordance with safety and danger-re-
lated laws, rules, and regulations, un-
der strict compliance with the opera-
tion instructions.
► Have any faults that could impair
safety immediately repaired by an au-
thorised specialist workshop.

SAFETY
Operating instructions • Box Carrier • 505410619-02 • 05/2021 11

ment and who have subsequently received
verbal instruction at least once a year relat-
ing to this work.
This instruction should particularly cover
the following points:
○ The operating instructions,
○ The measures to be taken in the event
of malfunctions.
Driving is limited to persons who have the
required driving license. In addition, the
drivers must receive training with respect
to:
○ The respective transport trailer and as-
sociated tractor unit,
○ The additional suppliers' information
listed (see "1.2 Other applicable docu-
ments", pg.7),
○ Motor Vehicle Traffic Regulations and
Motor Vehicle Construction and Use
Regulation, C.U.R., and

SAFETY
12 Operating instructions • Box Carrier • 505410619-02 • 05/2021
○ All relevant regulations that apply to
health and safety, accident prevention
and environmental protection in the
country of use, as well as
○ Other safety-related, occupational
health and road traffic regulations.
2.3.3 Skilled craftsmen
The skilled craftsmen of a specialist work-
shop are authorised to perform the main-
tenance work (maintenance and repair).
Authorised skilled craftsmen must have a
recognised qualification or have the relev-
ant knowledge of their specialised area re-
quired to meet the relevant regulations,
rules and guidelines.
2.4 Personal protective equip-
ment
Personal protective equipment serves to
avoid injuries and is prescribed by national
regulations depending on the cargo.
► Wear suitable personal protective
equipment when loading and unload-
ing.
○ Depending on the transported goods,
eyes, ears and respiratory tract must
be protected with suitable protective
equipment.
○ Gloves and safety shoes are generally
worn.
► Observe the national regulations re-
garding personal protective equipment.
► Always keep an eyewash bottle filled
with clean water at hand in the working
environment.
2.5 Transported material char-
acteristics
The trailer is designed to transport many
different goods.
► Before loading, make sure that the
trailer is suitable for the goods to be
carried.
2.6 Information, warning, and
mandatory signs
There are information, warning and man-
datory signs attached to the trailer.
► Observe and follow the signs.
► Keep the signs clean and legible.
► Do not remove, paint over or paste
over the signs.
► Immediately replace signs that have
become illegible or are missing.
Depending on the equipment and use, ap-
propriate pictograms are used in the in-
formation, warning and mandatory signs.

Sign Attachment point/meaning
Hinweis!
Die Ausstattung des Bremssystems am
Anhängefahrzeug entspricht dem neusten Stand
der Technik.
Art.-Nr.: 515063321
Der Ausrüstungsstand bezüglich der Bremsausrüstung der
Zugmaschinen ist je nach Fabrikat und Typ unterschiedlich.
Ebenfalls sind die Koppelkraftregelungen der Zugmaschinen im
Erkennen der Anhängefahrzeugabbremsung und der
Regelungssystemgrenzen unterschiedlich.
Daher ist es sinnvoll das Bremsverhalten der Zugkombinationen
zu beobachten und gegebenenfalls anzupassen.
Note!
The equipment of the braking system on the trailer vehicle
corresponds to the latest state of the art.
The equipment level of the brake equipment on the tractor
unit depends on the manufacturer and type. The coupling
force controllers of the tractor vehicle in relation to the trailer
vehicle braking and the control system limits differ. It is
therefore sensible to observe the braking behaviour of the
vehicle train and to adjust it if necessary.
Attachment point: Front wall, coupling support

2.7 Danger areas
On and around the trailer there are areas
with an increased danger to your safety or
to the safety of other persons. Ensure ad-
equate lighting when performing any work
in hazard areas.

jury on loose or un-
even ground or on
slopes.

nections of the com-
pressed air hose con-
nectors and cables.
2.8 Protective and safety
devices

2.9 General safety instructions
The basic safety instructions include all
safety measures sorted according to the
theme, and must always be observed.
Pneumatic dangers
There is a risk of injury due to pressure in
the pneumatic system.
► Do not open any components of the
pneumatic system if there is pressure
in the lines.
► Check the hose connections of the
pneumatic system regularly.
► When aerating and venting the sys-
tem, pay attention to unforeseeable
movement of pneumatic actuators.
► Fully depressurise the pneumatic sys-
tem before beginning maintenance
work.
Dangers while driving
There is a risk of impact on bridges, in tun-
nels or with other structures. Persons can
be injured or the vehicle, the transported
goods, and the structure can be severely
damaged.
► Observe the vehicle dimensions incl.
the transported goods.
► Observe the permissible passage di-
mensions (height, width).
► When driving in curves, be mindful of
the vehicle swivelling out.
Dangers when manoeuvring, coupling
and uncoupling
When manoeuvring or hitching and un-
hitching, there is a lethal risk of crushing
for persons standing between the tractor
unit and trailer as well as in the coupling
area.
► Only drive in reverse when nobody is
endangered.
► Only manoeuvre with a guiding assist-
ant.
► Before uncoupling, secure the trailer
additionally with wheel chocks against
accidental movement.
► Instruct all persons to leave the area
between the tractor unit and the trailer
during the coupling procedure.

SAFETY
Operating instructions • Box Carrier • 505410619-02 • 05/2021 15
Dangers when parking and unhitching
Accidental trailer movements, unstable
ground and poor securing at night can
cause serious accidents and injuries.
► Actuate the parking brake when un-
hitching.
► Also use wheel chocks on the wheels.
► When parking the trailer in a public
traffic area during the hours of dark-
ness, the vehicle should be particularly
marked in accordance with the legal
requirements.
Load distribution
Incorrect load distribution as well as im-
properly secured loads can lead to danger-
ous road handling and serious accidents or
damage to the vehicle.

Observe the load distribution plan for op-
timum loading. The load distribution plan
is individually calculated for every trailer.
Using the load distribution curve, you can
read the distance that must be maintained
between the front wall and the load.
► Observe the specified axle loads and
drawbar loads.
► Secure the load in accordance with the
applicable regulations.
► Ensure that the load securing aids are
not damaged and are functional.
Load securing
Unsecured or incorrectly secured loads
can result in poor road handling or even
accidents. Lost loads can cause injury to
other road users.
► Secure the load according to the re-
quirements of the relevant regulations
for load securing.
► Observe the instructions on the load
securing certificates.
Dangers caused by improper mainten-
ance
Improperly performed maintenance work
(care and cleaning, maintenance, repairs)
impairs the safety.
► Perform regular inspections for de-
fects.
► Perform care and cleaning work prop-
erly.
► Only have repair work carried out by
authorised specialist workshops or by
KRONE.
Operating materials

Change soiled clothing as soon as pos-
sible. Keep operating materials away from
children.
