•Do not pile the load higher than the front grill, as the logs may be pushed forward in case of sudden braking.
•Make sure that the forest trailer is parked on a flat surface so that it cannot move while performing mainten-
ance or installation. If necessary, support the trailer in place with wedges in front of and behind the wheels.
