Attachment
The ball of the attachment and the fastener of the trailer must be permanently clean and lubricated.
For the slowed down trailers, it is advisable to lubricate the slider of the brake thanks to the 2 lubricators located on the top of the fastener at ball.
Winch
The winch must be maintained clean, its lubricated pawl and its pulley.
The directions of rolling up and unfolding are indicated opposite.
Attention within the meaning of rolling up on the drum of the winch during a change of cable or strap.
In idle period, every nths, it is good to unroll and roll up the cable or the strap of the winch over the entire length.
Axle (X), hubs, braking
Your trailer is equipped with one or more slowed down axles or not with suspension by elements rubber.
All repairs concerning an axle should be made only by manufacturing.
All the weldings, drillings or other amendments of the bodies of axles are strictly prohibited and make lose the homologation of those; involving consequently, the cancellation of your guarantee.
The plates of identification of the axles are crimped in the middle of the body of axle.
After 2.m traversed, or every nths or during the wintering, the end play of the bearing of the hub of wheel is to be controlled. To raise the trailer using a jack, to loosen the brake so present. To make turn the wheels and check that they turn freely and without friction on the rockets of hub.
If the play is too important, it is then necessary to carry out a tuning play:
- To take apart the hub cover plate (Item. 19),
- To leave the pin deduction of the castellated nut (Item. 18),
- To tighten the castellated nut until feeling a resistance to rotation,
- To use a torque wrench if possible in order to carry out a tightening with a couple of 50 Nm,
- To carry out a replacement of grease,
- To give the pin and the hub cover plate.
In all the cases, it is necessary to carry out a lubrication bearings.
We advise you to make carry out these operations by a professional.
Parking brake
Actuation: To fire on the handle until the vertical position to tighten the cylinder arises with the control linkage of brake.
Release: To loosen the , one continues to tighten it while pressing on the button with the lever and by lowering the aforementioned ahead.
Brake with inertia
The brake with inertia is the brake which acts during the route.
The tube of update is to be lubricated every 1.m or 2 times a year with a general-purpose grease.
The are to be controlled every 5.m or 1 time a year.
Operation of renewal of the trimmings:
- To remove the wheel,
- To unscrew and take off the hub cover plate (Item. 19),
- To unscrew the nut with flange (Item. 18),
- To remove the drum to reach the brake shoes (Item. 5),
- To release the jaws within the competence of traction (Item. 3) and of the side springs (Item. 6),
- To clean the interior of the flange and the drum,
- To place the new trimmings,
- To go up the whole conversely while proceeding.
Tires and rims
The wheels should be immersed in water only with the crown of tire. The rim should not be immersed under penalty of fast oxidation by salt.
The rims of the wheels are specific and cannot be replaced by automobile rims.
In order to guarantee the security of the unit/trailer conveys - boat, he is appropriate to check the pressure of the tires before any use.
The pressures of inflations are recalled on the trailer, a #E8FFFF label is stuck in front of the whiffle-tree or on the guard mud right.
Recall of the pressures of inflation:
| TIRE | BAR |
400 R 8 - 4 folds | 3.5 |
400 R 8 - 6 folds | 4.2 |
145 R 10 | 2.2 |
195/50 R 10 | 5.3 |
450 R 10 | 3.2 |
500 R 10 | 3.5 |
155/70 R 12 | 6.2 |

185/70 R 14 | 2.5 |

215 R 14 C | 4.5 |
When the trailer is not used, it should be raised by jack, this avoids the static head on the tires and consequently, a possible deformation.
Repairs on the tires are to be realized exclusively by specialized personnel.
The replacement of a wheel can be valid only if dimensions (: 165/70 R 13), and indices of charge (: 102), and speed are identical (: M).
Replacement of a wheel:
- To loosen the nuts of the wheel concerned,
- To raise the trailer with a jack by taking support enters the frame and a firm ground,
- To unscrew and remove the nuts of wheel,
- To replace the wheel by the spare wheel,
- To give and screw up the nuts,
- To re-install the trailer,
- To finish the tightening of the nuts.
(The hardware requirement for the change of wheel is not provided.)
Tightening torques of the screws or nuts of rims:
| Key | Thread cutting | Tightening torque |
| 17 or 19 | X 1 5 00 80 Nm | |
| 19 | X 1 5 211 122 Nm | |
| 23 | X 1 5 800 121 Nm | |
| 24 | X 1 5 380 260 Nm |
The of more than 2 years are not suitable any more like wheels of bearing, they are to be removed and cannot lend itself any more but to the use of spare wheel.
Tack welded frame and nuts and bolts
The elements composing the frame, spars, supports of axles, cross-pieces and fittings are entirely galvanized hot interior and external.
This protection ensures one lifetime of approximately 50 years in not-hostile medium. This protection can fall at 10 years in corrosive medium.
The aspect shining of galvanization coldly carried out does not last in time. One considers the process of galvanization on the other hand finished when this layer of protection becomes dull.
The nuts and bolts which electro-are coated with zinc are much more sensitive to the hard environments, salt, water, etc… It is thus very important to rinse well your trailer or carriage of setting to water, with fresh water after each use.
The nuts and bolts of the wheels are to be changed all the 3 “disassembling - reassembly”. It is recommended to check the tightening of the screws of wheel to the delivery of the trailer. After m, to check tightening again, and then in a periodic way.
Information concerning the damage of salt:
Attention, the winter when you use your trailer on the routes on which salt was spread, you must rinse your trailer with fresh water completely at once because salt deposited tackles galvanization. It is the same for the sea water immersions.
To in no case, we cannot be held responsible in the event of deterioration for your trailer with salt.
Lighting and street signs
The trailers are equipped with an understanding lighting system:
- Main-beam headlamps,
- Brake lights,
- Indicators right and left,
- Fog light.
This connection is carried out by a connector with 7 pins.
Electrical loom (wiring of the base):
In the cases or the towing vehicle has a connector with 13 pins, it is possible to connect the trailer using an adapter (not provided) sold out of accessory.
before each way.
The bulbs of headlights damaged are replaced by unscrewing plastic dimmer caps of fires. It is necessary to adhere to the powers and voltages of the replaced bulbs.
