2.2 Coupling Head Safety Precautions: • Always ensure that the coupling head is properly connected to the towing vehiclis towball every time you couple up. If not coupled up correctly the trailer may become detachted from the towing vehicle and cause an accident! • Maximum possible articulation of the coupling head must not exceed +/- 25° vertically and +/- 20° horizontally. If exceeded, components will be overloaded and the operation of the assembly adversely affected.
Pictures chapter: 2.2 Coupplung 2.3 Overrun Assembly (braked trailer) Safety Precautions: • When parking your vehicule and trailer on site you must applly the trailer parking brake. If the trailer is parked and then diconnected from the towing vehicle it is recommended that each wheel is chocked using suitable wheel chocks. Caution: Please note when parking the trailer that the wheelbrake auto-reverse mechanism will allow the trailer to travel backwards for approximately 25 cm.
Uncoupling Secure trailer by chocking both wheels. Apply hand-brake fully. There are 4 different hand-brake systems. With all four systems please observe the following: Hand-Brake lever with gas strut (Fig 3) Enure handbrake is fully applied (as highlighted). This will ensure that the gas strut will automatically reapply the wheel brakes if trailer starts to roll backwards.
2.4 Axle Safety Precautions: • No welding is permitted on AL-KO axles. • It is most important that the wheel and hub/brake drum are dimensionally compatible. This means that the P.C.D., wheel bolts and inset must all be compatible with both the hub/brake drum and the wheel rim. Particular attention must be paid to the recommended torque figures for the wheels bolts.
Troubleshooting Fault Cause Elimination Poor braking Linings are not fully bedded in. Linings are damaged/dirty Friction losses too high, overrun device shaft corroded. Reversing heavy or blocked Only occurs when the braking system is set too thightly. Auto-reverse lever is stuck. Brakes overheating when driving Incorrect setting. Braking system not fully released during forward travel. Overrun lever stuck Wheel brake dirty. Cable or Bowden cable kinked. Release springs defective or broken.
2.6 Wheel & 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. Tyre Tyre Pressure [bar] 175/70 R13 185/70 R13 145 R13 145/80 R13 155 R13 155/80 R13 2.5 2.5 ATTENTION: You cannot ensure that your tyres have a minimum pressure of 6.25 bars in all places.
2.9 Charging of the trailer • • • • • • The cargo should be properly secured in place. This is to prevent loss and shifting of the cargo during motion. The shifting of the cargo may lead to a sudden change in the handling characteristics of the vehicles. Furthermore, while loading the vehicle on public roads, follow all the applicable regulations (among others, the visibility of the lighting and maximum length of projecting cargo). Check whether it is permissible to drive with the trailer.
VT3: The hight of the side and frontboard is 135 cm. The tailboard is one complete board which opens from below. The length of this board is ca. 135 cm. In combination with the hard top which opens at the frontside the internal hight is 153 cm. The hard top can remain open with a shock absorber.
4. Mounting the wheel and tyre 4.1 For a central drawbar (platform width 101 cm) Your trailer can be equipped with a spare wheel. The cental profile is already prepared for this. When this is not the case, your dealer can do it for you. You can can mount the wheel with the fixationmaterial with the outside of the rim up. With the bolts you can fasten the wheel. The parts needed are being deliverd with the spare wheel. Please follow the instructions on the drawing at the side.
4.3 Fixation on the frontboard with a separate support ATTENTION: This is not possible with a HT version. (The hard top is opening at the frontside) When you buy a spare wheel and support a description is delivered also. When you buy a sparewheel including a separate support a mounting description is attached. With this description you can mount the spare wheel and support on the trailer. Materials for fixation needed and detail for fixation off the spare wheel on the support.

Mount the railing uprights with the rivets to the railing. Please note that these are mounted at 90 degres.
9. Mounting the shock absorber (Braked version) Your trailer can be equipped with shock absorbers. (only possible for the braked trailers) From the first axle hole the distance between the holes must be drilled at ø11mm. Please follow the pictures for mounting the shock absorber and the mounting plate. ATTENTION: Bolt heads should always point in the direction of the tyre and the axle shock absorber will be installed on the "inner side" only with the 750 kg types.
