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.

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
• 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 1 (unbraked trailer)
• Uncoupling of unbraked trailer:
• Open the jockey wheel holder by releasing the clamping handle (1), lower the jockey wheel as far as possible and tighten the
clamping handle (1) again.
• Uncouple the auxiliary coupling and the lighting plug from the towing vehicle. Use the wheel stops for the unbraked trailer.
• Open the coupling head, and simultaneously turn out the jockey wheel by turning the handle (2) to the left, until the coupling
of the towing hook ball is detached from the towing vehicle.
• Coupling of unbraked trailer:
• The coupling must be done in reverse order:
• Turn up the jockey wheel until the wheel flanges are fixed in the recess of the outer tube (3). The clamping handle (1)
• must be firmly tightened.
• The jockey wheel is thereby secure against accidental detachment during motion.
• The jockey wheel should be pulled-up to the maximum possible extent using the clamping bracket. While doing this, the
wheel should be more or less parallel to the pole.
2.8 Opening and closing of the side boards
• When opening and closing the side boards, ensure that persons present near the boards are not exposed to danger, or risk getting entrapped, or
injured in any other manner whatsoever.
• While opening the tailboards on public roads, the applicable laws should be duly followed. If the applicable laws require this, use the pull-out
beams present in the trailer. When the tailboard is resting on the pull-out beams, the lighting fittings remain visible. The lock for the pull-out beam
is placed behind the lighting box. The pull-out beam is unlocked on pulling down the lock, and can be pushed out backwards. The tailboard can
thereby be laid horizontally on the pull-out beams. The lighting and reflectors will therefore remain visible during loading and unloading.
ATTENTION: Ensure that you are visible during loading/unloading on public roads. This is for your safety and that of other road users.
• NEVER ride with the opened sides.
• Ensure regular lubrication of the lock mechanism. This can be done from the top using a Teflon or silicone spray.
