Operation
Turntables can have somewhat different designs,
depending on the manufacturer. A common feature is
that all have a handle for releasing the trailer coupling
and a safety inhibitor to prevent the handle from
accidently releasing the coupling. Make sure that the
handle is secured by the inhibitor before driving away.
Care
Turntables made from steel plate or with surfaces of
another metallic material shall be greased before the
first coupling. The surface shall be completely covered
in grease and more grease shall be added if the metal
surface becomes visible. Follow the advice in the
suppliers instructions when you receive them.
The turntable requires a lithium-based grease with
NLGI 2 consistency, e.g. Volvo grease 2 EP.
Couple the trailer
On trucks with the battery box at the rear it is
especially important to follow these instructions when
coupling or uncoupling a trailer.
Danger!
Make sure that the handle is
secured by the inhibitor before
driving away.
