Self-Loading Trailer – Operator's Manual

5 Operation

5.1 Controls

The RBM1400 and RBM2000S trailers must be operated using the tractor's hydraulic controls, while
the RBM2000 trailer has a Fingertip joystick.

The hydraulic control levers located on the side of
the trailer must never be used to manoeuvre the
trailer. They are only used for diagnostics and
troubleshooting. (RBM2000 only)

See chapter 6 Troubleshooting to learn which part is
activated by each hydraulic lever.

Figure 17 — RBM2000 Fingertip Joystick

Table 13 describes the various Fingertip joystick controls.
