2.6 Wheel and Tyre
• Ensure that the tyres are at the correct tyre pressure and have an adequate tyre tread (as regards safety and uniformity of wear-and-tear). The
tyre pressure should be applied in the "cold" condition with the vehicle in an unloaded condition.

ATTENTION: You cannot ensure that your tyres have a minimum pressure of 6.25 bars in all places. If tyres have a tyre pressure less the values
mentioned in the table, there is a chance of punctures. The tyre pressure should be checked regularly.
For information about the minimum tyre tread, please abide by the applicable regulations.
• The following applies to a new trailer: After 50 km, tension the wheel nuts with a suitable tool. This should be done with a tightening torque of
90-120 Nm.
If a trailer is regularly used, it should also be regularly checked later on.
2.7 Jockey wheel
2.7.1. Jockey wheel
This dicription only concerns the jockey wheel. The jockey wheel is in a vertical (normal) position. The discription off how to tip the jockey
wheel in a horizontal position you can find in the chapter "tipping the jockey wheel ".
• The jockey wheel is for coupling, uncoupling and shunting of the trailer.
• Ensure that the maximum permissible coupling pressure is not exceeded through the loading of the trailer. At this load, where
the jockey wheel is used, a permissible load of the jockey wheel will arise.
• Operation of the jockey wheel version 2 (braked trailer)
• Uncoupling the braked trailer:
• Disconnect the break-away cable and the lighting plug of the towing vehicle. Pull-up the hand brake of the trailer.
• Before the trailer is uncoupled from the towing vehicle, the jockey wheel should be turned out. The first step for unfolding
(1) is to turn the handle anti-clockwise. After this, the wedge (2) reaches its end position and the jockey wheel is turned
out.
• Open the coupling head and turn out the jockey wheel to the desired height, due to which the coupling arises above the
towing hook ball. ATTENTION: When the trailer is uncoupled, the jockey wheel will be placed under load (3). For
this reason, never turn-in the jockey wheel after uncoupling to such an extent that the folding mechanism is
operated!
• Coupling of braked trailer:
• The coupling must be done in reverse order:
• After coupling, the jockey wheel should be again fully turned up. When doing this, ensure that the folding wedge (2)
touches the collar (4) of the jockey wheel and when the handle is turned further clockwise, moves over the collar/flange
of the jockey wheel. The jockey wheel will then automatically be folded upwards. ATTENTION: The jockey wheel is only
fully turned-up when it is fully folded upwards.
• ATTENTION: When turning-up the jockey wheel, ensure that the brake rod of the trailer does not touch any part of the
jockey wheel. If it touches the brake rod, the brake will no longer work optimally.
ATTENTION: This applies for the jockey wheel: Regular cleaning and lubrication of the moving parts.
