operation.
Attention! The trailer is delivered with the stopcocks closed.
Stopcocks L1 and L2 must be opened before commencing travel to prevent
damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
Checking the working settings
-
Check the steering angle of the
axles
(must be adjusted if necessary)
-
Check for collision on the spring
assembly,
air bellows, frame or tyre profile

At maximum steering angle of the hydraulic cylinders with coupling
(52°), ensure sufficient space from the panelling on the outside and
from the flange coupling on the inside.

The cylinder protection (on the side of the traction bar) must be
checked and adjusted for every towing vehicle type; if necessary,
double the cylinder protection until the wheels of the towing vehicle
(tractor) make contact at maximum steering angle.
