GUIDELINES FOR SAFE USE
BEFORE DRIVING
•The driver must check if he is in possession of the correct driving permit for the trailer
and towing vehicle.
•Check the correct function of the trailer lights.
•Check if the load is secured properly.
•Check tire pressure, age and load index (specification on the tire side wall).
•Consider the rules and requirements according to the maximum load of the trailer.
The maximum load value is the empty weight + load trailer on the trailer. Check
identification plate for values.
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING TRAILER
Take the following steps into account when connecting or disconnecting the trailer to the
towing vehicle. If you don’t follow these steps the trailer could disconnect while driving and
cause an accident. Follow the steps in the right chronological order.
•Check if the emergency brake cable is frayed, nodded or missing. Replace the cable
before use.
•Check if the tow bar ball head is clean and the coupling is sufficiently greased.
•The trailer must be on a levelled ground surface and the brake enabled.
•Turn the jockey wheel in a clockwise direction until the trailer coupling is above the
tow bar.
•Manoeuvre the towing vehicle in line with the trailer and the coupling directly above
the tow bar.
•Connect the emergency brake cable. It is recommended to attach the cable to an
existing mounting point and not the tow bar. Unless there is no existing mounting point.
•Push the release button of the coupling lever and turn the jockey wheel counter
clockwise to lower the coupling on the tow bar and release the lever.
•Lift the coupling to secure the connection of coupling and tow bar. If the rear of the
towing vehicle moves accordingly the trailer is correctly attached.
•Rotate the nose wheel clockwise until the wheel is in its highest position. Beware that
the wheel doesn’t hit the brake rods.
•Connect the electrical connector to the towing vehicle and check the trailer lights.
•Release the trailer brake.
