USER MANUAL
2.3 Surface Treatment Disclaimer
Galvanized and zinc plated parts are not resistant to aggressive chemicals (such as alkalis
or acids) and exposure to road salt. Therefore, after driving on (winter) roads treated
against ice and snow or exposing the trailer to any other environment with chemical
compounds, it is recommended to clean your Foldy trailer with fresh water.
2.4 Tyre Pressure Rating
The Foldy trailer is specified to use 4.50-10C tyres on 350B x 10H2 wheel rims and the
maximum allowed tyre pressure rating is 4.25 bar (425kpa) or 62 psi.
2.5 Wheel Bearings
Please ensure the wheel bearings of the wheel hubs run smooth. It is highly
recommended to have the wheel bearings check at your local MOT service station every
50,000 miles or 3 years. Should you use your trailer often on salted roads, regularly
transport corrosive materials (such as salt and fertilizer) or drive through deep water, we
recommend you increase the frequency of bearing checks.
It is also worth checking for unwanted bearing noise (such as grinding or friction whine)
when spinning the wheels. This can be easily done when raising the trailer off its wheels
during the fold up procedure.
2.6 Connecting Device (Hitch Joint Socket)
The tow arm of the Foldy must be attached to a motor vehicle via an approved tow bar or
hitch. Please ensure the trailer’s tow arm joint socket always has lubricating grease inside
the socket. This will enable a smooth and tight fit coupling onto the ball of the motor
vehicle tow bar when attaching the trailer.
2.7 Electrical Connector
The Foldy trailer is equipped standard with a 13 pole 12 V connector. Should the towing
vehicle use a 7-pole plug connector, please ensure a 13-pole female to 7-pole male
adapter is installed securely to make electrical contact. Regardless of the connector
specification used, all electrical connector pins (male and female) should be free of
oxides and dirt to ensure proper electrical contact and no shorting. The contacts on the
connector are not waterproof and the connector pins should face downwards when not
attached to the motor-vehicle.
2.8 Trailer Lights
The trailer lights are not waterproof and should not be immerse into water. Should your
trailer be used for landing boats (or any other watercrafts) via a jetty, please ensure the
lights are not lowered into water. Please consult your boat trailer dealer for waterproof
lights and dedicated boat trailers.
