Tying down/securing the load:
The load must always be tied down and secured properly on the trailer using binders
that are suitable for this specific purpose
The tie rings, which are fitted as standard and are TÜV-certified according to quality
mark DIN EN 75410-1, must be used to secure a load.
For tying down the load, only use reliable ropes that are specifically designed for this
purpose and that comply with standard EN 12195-2.
The maximum load that the tie rings fitted on the sides of the trailer (see figure 7) can
take is 1,000 kg (daN)
Supports
Supports fitted under the chassis can be extended when loading the trailer.
How the supports work : After releasing the locking pin, the supports can be rotated
90°
Rotatable by 90˚ downwards and re-secured in position with the locking pin.
Using the handle supplied with the trailer, the support should
be lowered until it is approx. 5 cm above ground level when
the trailer is empty (see figure 8).
The 5 cm gap is needed to compensate for the spring of the axles. If the supports are
lowered completely, they will take the entire weight of the load and can become
damaged. On soft ground, suitable plate material has to be laid under the supports.
Before driving off, the supports have to be secured in their top position and, if
necessary, rotated 90° so that they lay parallel to the chassis (see figure 9).
