HOSE AS 9C1130 - Caterpillar

trucks have different operating characteristics from the operating characteristics of rigid frame trucks. Twisting stress between the front frame and the rear frame of an articulated truck is eliminated by an oscillating hitch. The oscillating hitch is installed between the tractor and the trailer. The oscillating hitch allows unlimited oscillation between the tractor and the trailer.It is possible for the trailer to overturn while the tractor remains upright.A sudden shift in momentum or in load distribution can cause the trailer to overturn. This shift can be caused by sudden steering and/or severe braking action on slopes or in turns, or excessive speed in turns or on sloping or rough ground. Unlimited oscillation between the tractor and the trailer is normal. The operator receives no warning of an overturn.The following steps must be observed to prevent the machine from overturning:
The rated load of the machine must not be exceeded.
Distribute the load evenly in the body and avoid excessively heavy loading in the front section.
Avoid sudden steering and/or severe braking action in turns or on sloping ground.
Avoid traveling across slopes. If this operation is unavoidable, reduce speed. Stay alert and avoid any sudden steering and/or severe braking action.
Use caution before dumping/ejecting. A combination of material that is stuck in the body and soft ground conditions can cause the trailer to overturn.
Do not load the body with oversized material that can become lodged in the body or is unable to clear the end of the body.
Always drive at an appropriate speed. Maintain the appropriate stopping distance under all conditions. Operate the machine according to load condition. Be aware of weather conditions and the condition of the site.
