TIP
In the event of ordering a replacement part or in the case of the appearance of problems
it is often essential to give the factory n mbers of parts or the VIN n mber of the trailer,
therefore it is recommended that these n mbers are inscribed in the spaces above.
1.2 PROPER USE
The hook trailer is designed for use with various types of load boxes (agricultural, building,
communal and special ones and transport platforms etc.), fulfilling the requirements
described in table (1.2). Trailer design enables connection and disconnection of load boxes
and their unloading by tipping to the rear. Type of load carried depends on load box use. The
trailer must not be used in any way other than that described above.
DANGER
The trailer m st not be sed for p rposes other than those for which it is intended, in
partic lar:
•for transporting people and animals,
•for transporting loose nsec red toxic materials, if there is a possibility of ca sing
environmental damage,
•for transporting machines and eq ipment, with high centre of gravity affecting
trailer stability,
•for transporting loads with neven loading and overloading of axles,
•for transporting nsec red loads, which may move in the load box.
•with load boxes not complying with the Man fact rer's req irements.
The trailer is constructed according to current safety requirements and engineering
standards. The brake system and the light and indicator system meet the requirements of
road traffic regulations. The maximum speed of the trailer on public roads in Poland is 30
km/h (pursuant to Traffic Law Act of June 20th 1997, article 20). In the countries where the
trailer is used, the limits stipulated by the road traffic legislation in force in a given country
must be observed. The trailer speed must not, however, be greater than the maximum design
speed of 40 km/h.

SECTION 1 Pronar T286
