LOADING SKIDS
Removing skids
The skids are stowed under the trailer body and are removed from
the rear of the trailer. It is strongly recommended that any lifting or
positioning of the skids is carried out by two persons. (Each skid
weighs approximately 40kg).
1.
Lift the spring ring and withdraw the linch pin. Lift the handle to
release the skid retainer clamp. (fig 11)
2.
Move the handle to the left to remove the right skid or to the
right to remove the left skid. (fig 12)
3.
Lift the rear of the skid and slide out slightly. (fig 13)
4.
Slide the skid out. It is prevented from sliding all the way out by
a stop. Lift the front end of the skid clear of the stop and slide
out slowly.
5.
Hook the skid onto the rear channel in the required position (fig
14)
Replacing skids
1.
Ensure that the skid retainer clamp handle is positioned on the
opposite side to the skid you are replacing and slide the skid
back into place. To prevent injury, keep fingers and hands clear
of the underside of the skid before the skid reaches the stowage
position.
2.
When both skids are in place, slide the clamp handle to the
central position, locate in the receiver bracket and replace the
linch pin as shown in fig 11.
Use of loading skids
Extreme care should be exercised when using loading skids
• Carry out loading and unloading on level, firm ground.
• Always use the prop stands provided.
• Have an assistant on hand to guide you.
• Ensure that the skids are positioned correctly, with the lower
ends on firm, level ground, parallel with the trailer and in line with
the centre of the tyres of the vehicle to be loaded/unloaded and
that the skid top angles are in contact with the trailer rear cross
member over their full width.
• Your assistant should keep well clear during loading/unloading.
• Take your time and constantly check that the vehicle is correctly
positioned.
