2. Proper Use
The Strautmann chopper trailer has been designed for exclusive use in agricultural work. Its intended function is

Any use beyond this will be considered as improper.

reof. The user will solely bear the risk.
Adherence to all operating, servicing and maintenance conditions specified by the manufacturer will also be part
of ‘proper use’.
The vehicle may only be operated, maintained and serviced by people who are acquainted with the said vehicle
and its equipment and have been instructed as to the dangers involved.
Any unauthorized modifications carried out on the machine will invalidate the product liability and the
manufacturer’s liability for any damage resulting thereof.
Any costs arising from modifications or malfunctions due to peculiarities of the tractor or carelessness on the part
of the operator will not borne by the Strautmann Company.
Only genuine Strautmann spare parts may be used!

wing suggestions and rules helps prevent accidents from the very outset.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mega-Trailer Page 5
Please observe the general accident prevention regulations in addition to the infor-
mation given in these operating instructions; any other generally recognized safety,
industrial medicine and traffic regulations are to be complied with.
Familiarize yourself with all the equipment, actuating elements and their functions
before beginning work on the unit.
When you have already started work it will be too late!
The machine is designed for single-handed operation. The operator may only ope-
rate the machine and actuate its functions when there are no other persons in the
danger zone (please pay particular attention to children).
Foreign objects in the forage can be slung out during discharge by the spreader
drums.
All safety guards must be properly mounted at all times.
Never open or remove safety guards while the motor is running.
Do not enter the loading area while the P.T.O. shaft/hydraulic system is connected
and the motor is running.

3.2 Linkage and Traction Mode
Vehicle brake system:
The trailer can be equipped with various types of brake system (acc. to the relevant
national regulations).
a) Compressed air brake (two-line air brake system)
b) Hydraulically operated brake system
The tractor brake system must match the relevant trailer brake system.
Before starting up, make sure that all road safety and operating safety regulations
have been complied with and that the brake system and lighting function correctly.
Where compressed air brake systems are used, check that the brake power control is
correctly positioned. (see note 19.2)
Hitch the vehicle to the tractor in the prescribed manner. Be particularly careful during
hitching and unhitching!
Ensure that the tractor hitch has been approved to take the hitch eye fitted to the trailer.
If a ball hitch 80 is being used take particular care that the crop guard to ball clearan-
ce is adequate when driving on stacks.
To attain greater freedom of movement on the tractor-side “Scharmüller ball head
hitch”, use the shorter crop guard 1 (Scharmüller order no. 02481316).
Damaged or bent hitching equipment is a threat to safety and should not be used
again.
Before every start-up or drive make sure that there is no-one in the danger zone. Watch
out in particular for children.
When reversing make sure you have a good all-round view. You may need an additio-
nal person to guide you.
After hitching or unhitching is completed, adjust the support stand as required and
secure.
Before loading check that the back panel and/or inspection door is/are closed. Fold
up the inspection ladder.
Do not put down loaded vehicles onto supports.
Before unhitching make sure the support stand is in a stable position. Secure vehicle
against rolling (parking brake, chocks).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Page 8 Mega-Trailer
Independent braking must be prevented (lock pedals) on all runs with trailers.
Do not go between tractor and trailer while the engine is running.
Observe permitted axle loads, tongue loads and laden weights, in particular the maximum
tongue load which the trailer hitch can take on.
It is forbidden to go within the chute rotation range of the hydraulically swivelled back panel.
When maintenance and repair work is being carried out with the back panel open, the latter
must be secured by closing the stop cock.
Keep an eye on the reactions of your tractor on the road when the load is unevenly distributed
due to loading and auxiliary parts.
Always adapt your driving speed to the prevailing local conditions. When driving up and
down steep hills as well as across hills avoid sudden cornering.
Ensure adequate steering and braking performance.
Single and tandem axle vehicles with tongue load are in danger of tipping over if they have
been unevenly loaded, especially during hitching or in uncoupled condition. Ensure sufficient
tongue load!
Please take care during driving and unloading on the stack that the vehicle is kept stable.
(danger of tipping over)
When driving over stacks with soft sides keep to the middle as the danger of tipping over is
particularly high. Take care to stay at a safe distance from anyone in the vicinity!
Lock the steering axle when driving across slopes and over stacks.
This is recommended for driving on public roads.
If the steering axle is not locked, cornering at high speeds is not permitted.
