3 Folding
3.1 Security Instruction
Your FoldTrailer FT752 can be folded
without
load and on
flat and solid floor only
. The trailer must be disconnected
from the car when folding. Read this manual carefully before handling the trailer.
3.1.1 All folding handling of this FoldTrailer must always be accomplished by one adult person only. To prevent
damage, make sure no children or pets or expensive equipment or cars or the like are around while handling the
trailer.
3.1.2 Folding handling must be done without any load.
3.1.3 It is recommended to wear gloves during handling the trailer due to dirty parts and possible sharp steel profiles.
3.1.4 For security reasons it is highly recommended having one defined storage base for your FoldTrailer. Such storage
base must have a flat and solid floor without obstacles for the nose wheel, and a stiff and solid wall to lean the
trailer towards. It´s recommended having an in-house storage base, or as a minimum a storage base with a roof.
3.1.5 The storage base wall has to be equipped with a fastened bracket for the wall secure chain belonging to the
trailer. Extra bands or straps can be used additionally. Be aware that an unsecured folded trailer may fall off the
wall and cause damage and danger if someone climbs or pulls the trailer.
3.1.6 All folding operations are managed along the right side of the chassis (left side when folded), close to the winch.
3.1.7 Before any folding or unfolding procedure is started, always make sure that all included parts of the suspension
system, trailer chassis and the winching system, the wire condition included, is all right and fully functional. Any
damage or missing parts can result into damage and danger. If any doubt contact your trailer dealer.
3.1.8 At freezing temperatures, make sure that no flexible parts of the trailer are stuck by frost and ice. Check the
flexibility of any link or wheel or running gear before start folding or unfolding the trailer.
3.1.9 The trailer shall never be left unattended when it is only partly folded. If this still happens, always activate the nose
wheel brake.
3.1.10 When partly folded into an
A-shape position
, the FoldTrailer can be pushed sideways and also even turned by
lifting one rear corner by hand by holding the suspension rubber bumper bracket. Aware of sharp edges of the
trailer or its mudguards. In such cases always make sure that the distance between the drawbar nose wheel and
the trailer rear part at floor level is no shorter than 1 yard, and that the winch wire is kept continuously tensed. The
nose wheel must be un-braked and into a adequate direction when doing this.
3.1.11 When the trailer is fully folded at its storage base, the nose wheel brake must be activated, and the wall secure
chain must be hooked properly into the wall bracket ring.
3.1.12 Always read this Owner´s Manual if you are uncertain of any handling details. Ask your FoldTrailer supplier if you
are still having any handling requests.
