5.Set up of the machine Duties before starting operation NOTICE Conduct the following actions before starting operation: • Check safety devices for functionality • Before starting work, check that all bolts and screw connections are tight! • Check hydraulic connections and hydraulic oil level •...
5.Set up of the machine PTO drive Depending on the model, the timber trailer can be operated via the tractor's hydraulics or by a self-supply by means of a hydraulic oil pump. If you have the timber trailer version with self-supply via PTO drive, some important points must be observed for commissioning.
5.Set up of the machine Standing platform The standing platform is in transport position during travel and must be folded out for work use. To do this, the backrest must be lifted slightly and threaded into the guide in a vertical position.
5.Set up of the machine Crane support To prevent serious personal injury and damage to the machine, the machine must always be set up on a level and firm ground and the following instructions must be followed exactly. The crane supports are to be used for every loading activity without exception, otherwise the vehicle can easily tip over.
5.Set up of the machine Extendable frame (mechanically) Many timber trailers are equipped with an extendable frame. No screwing work is required to extend the trailer. Lift the frame slightly and pull it back until it snaps into place. The easiest way to do this is to use the crane. However, care should be taken here because the crane has enough power to severely damage or bend the extension.
5.Set up of the machine 5.10 Parking brake To release the parking brake, there is a screw on the rear of each axle rocker. Unscrew this screw with the crank provided (counter clockwise) to release the brake. Overrun braked trailers RW5 and RW8 have the overrun brake option.
5.Set up of the machine 5.11 Swap bodies With the right attachment, the trailer can also be used for other purposes. For example, for the transport of brushwood and round bales. In order to convert the timber trailer transporting brushwood, brushwood trays must be lifted onto the timber trailer with the crane and hooked...

Important instructions during operation NOTICE •...
6.Operation Hydraulic braking system The hydraulic brake system is operated by the corresponding single-acting control unit on the tractor. For this it is necessary that the brake hose is connected to the control unit of the tractor. The brake control valve is located on the brake line to adjust the brake strength.
6.Operation Air brake system The compressed air brake system works with 4 piston brake cylinders. First attach the two compressed air lines to the connections provided on the towing vehicle. As soon as these are connected, the compressed air tank on the timber trailer is filled via the supply line (red).
6.Operation 6.4.2 Load dependant brake booster: In the case of an air brake system, the current state of charge must be set. This is done on the lever next to the release valve (2). You have to set whether the timber trailer is full, half full or empty. Depending on the setting, the car is braked more or less when braking.
6.Operation Cable winch (optional): With the winch, heavy pieces of wood can be pulled in and lifted without any problems. It is controlled via a radio remote control. In order to be able to pull out the rope, it is only necessary to switch on the return of the winch.
6.Operation Crane position for transport Unloaded driving: When driving without a load, make sure that the crane is retracted and rests on the frame. The grapple must be attached to the frame and secured. Loaded driving: The best way to secure the crane with a full timer trailer is to attach the grapple to a log.
6.Operation Swivel drawbar The swivel drawbar enables better tracking on narrow forest roads / paths. If the swivel drawbar is swivelled correctly shortly before a curve, the trailer will drive in the same lane as the tractor. If this device is not used, the timber trailer moves in a tighter curve radius than the tractor and can thus leave the path and hit trees etc.
6.Operation Wheel hub drive (optional) It can happen that the tractor or the timber trailer gets stuck or sinks in on uneven terrain. In this case the pure driving force of the tractor is too low or cannot be transferred to the ground. In order to be able to free yourself from this situation, the wheel hub drive can be switched on.
7.Shutdown Shutdown Safety instructions for the shutdown procedure DANGER Risk of injury by being drawn in or caught by moving machine parts! • After the shutdown, wait until all moving machine parts have come to a complete stop! • Keep a sufficiently safe distance away from moving machine parts! WARNING Risk of injury during shutdown!
7.Shutdown Crane position If the logging trailer is taken out of service, the crane must be parked in a safe position. This means that the crane must not be parked while it is floating (it may sink) and that it does not become a trip hazard or obstacle. The crane should preferably be put down in the transport position.

7.Shutdown Folding in the standing platform To prevent damage to the stepladder during transport, it is important to fold it properly. To do this, the stepladder must be folded upwards. Then lift the backrest slightly and fold it down. In this way, the entire standing platform is mechanically secured in the transport position.
7.Shutdown Parking brake Standard If the timber trailer is detached, the parking brake must be activated. Use the crank provided and turn the threaded rod clockwise. The threaded rod is located at the rear of each axle rocker. Trailers with overrun brakes Activate the parking brake cable by pulling the hand lever on the drawbar.
8.Maintenance Maintenance During the first month every week all screws and connections should be checked for tightness.
