1.4 Safety Information
Throughout this manual are many instructions to ensure your´s and other´s safety while you are using your
trailer. Be careful to read all safety information to prevent damage and dangers, when handling or using your
FoldTrailer FT752.
Towing a trailer gives the driver typical challenges like increased acceleration time, increased braking
distance, turning and reverse maneuvering, and certainly also safe loading responsibility. Loss of control of
the trailer or tow vehicle can result into damage or serious injury.
The most common causes for loss of control of the trailer are:
• Driving too fast for the conditions.
• Overloading the trailer.
• Loading the trailer unevenly.
• Trailer improperly coupled to the hitch.
• Inadequate towing vehicle.
• Inadequate towing hitch.
• Not maintaining proper tire pressure.
• Not keeping wheel nuts tight.
• Not properly maintaining the trailer structure and its running gears.
Since your FoldTrailer FT752 is a folding trailer developed for smart and space saving storage, there are
even more safety details which require your attention, for safe use of your trailer. These points are
mentioned specifically in the Folding chapter (3) and Maintenance chapter (4). Please read these instructions
carefully before starting handling the trailer.

2 TOWING
As the towing vehicle may be used any car equipped with a certified towbar coupling. The total weight of the trailer and
cargo MUST NOT exceed the rate given by the vehicle manufacturer. All use of the trailer require attention to gross
weight, payload, coupling weights, load positioning and secure of cargo. In most countries and regions a trailer type
category O1 like FoldTrailer FT752 can be towed by any driver having a valid license for passenger cars (Drivings
license category B) as a minimum. Anyhow, be aware of possible variations in local legislation.
2.1 Pre-tow Check List
• Inspect the trailer for any structural failure; drawbar, frame, walls, suspension
• Inspect all bolts and fasteners that apply to your trailer
• Inspect the condition of the wheels; tire pressure (90 psi) and tighten the wheel nuts properly (90Nm)
• Coupler to be secured and locked
• Safety Breakage Chain properly rigged to tow vehicle, not to hitch ball only
• Make sure that the nose wheel is adjusted to its driving position
• Test of lights: Tail, Stop, Turn and Backup. Connect electric system to the car and provide testing
• Cargo properly loaded, balanced and tied down with a proper proportion of the weight on the tongue of the trailer
• Walls closed and latched. There is an option to secure the wall latches with a splinter pin
• Check that drawbar is latched to the trailer frame by both drawbar latches to be tightened properly with eye nuts
• Provide compactness check of the suspension by trying to move the trailer back and forth sideways by holding the
wheel. An appearance of major slack might have its origin in both wheel bearings and the pre-tension tightening of
the suspension system. If you suspect any such problem, contact your trailer dealer for advice or assistance
• Tighten the winch wire slightly before driving, the wire resting onto the bolt tube of the locking device front end
