Operator Manual
LOADING & UNLOADING
The trailer should be positioned on level ground.
Except in emergencies, loading and unloading should be carried out
with the trailer attached to the towing vehicle. If for any reason you
have to do so with the trailer detached, take great care to ensure that
the jockey wheel is securely clamped and the handbrake is fully
applied before proceeding.
If the trailer is fitted with propstands (optional) these should be
lowered and securely clamped (see section on use of loading skids
for details)
If the trailer is on soft ground it may be necessary to provide
additional support under the jockey wheel to prevent it from sinking
into the ground.
USE OF THE SAFETY PROP

TIPPING THE TRAILER BODY
DO NOT LEAVE THE TRAILER UNATTENDED WITH THE BODY
RAISED UNLESS THE SAFETY PROP IS IN PLACE.
It is recommended that new users practice operating the tipping
mechanism with the trailer empty to ensure familiarity with the
controls.
The trailer should be positioned on flat, level ground.
Keep the area around the trailer clear during the tipping
operation either with the help of an assistant or using road cones.
Standing to one side of the rear of the trailer, slide the retaining ring
upwards to release the lever and lower the lever. Repeat for the
other side to release the tailboard. (Fig.4)
Operation of the electric pump system
The tipping system comprises an electro-hydraulic pump powered
by an on-board heavy duty 12V battery to operate a lifting ram (fig 5)
The pump is operated from a remote control switch pad on a
detachable lead. (fig 7) An isolator switch with removable key is also
provided.
