The CHCF series wagon feature four wheel steer. This makes

the wagon very manoeuvrable, and able to get into a narrow field

entrance more easily. The wagon tracks right behind the tow vehicle,

eliminating having to make wide turns to avoid cutting corners.

As the front wheels turn to follow the tongue the rear wheels turn

in the opposite direction, the result is that the rear end tracks right

along with the front wheels.
Backing a four wheel steer wagon may require some practice to

master! The concept is similar to backing a two wheel steer but two

points to bear in mind:
• as soon as you begin to turn the wagon, the back end will

immediately begin turning.

• the rear wheels always turn in the direction of the tongue: if the

tongue goes to the right the rear of the wagon goes to the right.

The result is that you may find that you’ll tend to over steer at first.

Practice is the best solution.

Two Wheel

Steer tends to

cut corners

Four Wheel

Steer follows

the tow vehicle

tracks

The CHCF series wagon Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is determined by two factors:

• the chassis assembly maximum gross capacity

• and the gross capacity of the four tires.

It is the lesser of the two that determines the GVWR of the unit.

The CHCF series wagons are available with up to 4 tire options, and the GVWR will change depending on the tire

option selected.

If replacing tires on the wagon, ensure you replace them with tires of similar capacity. Lower capacity tires will lower

GVWR, higher weight capacity tires

do not increase GVWR above the

maximum chassis rating.

Note:

CHCF GVWR: 7,031 kg (15,500 lbs

To calculate the maximum weight

the wagon can carry: chassis

tire the payload =

GVWR.

Straight start:

WARNING

Operational Hazard

Be aware of potential collision

when parked directly beside

a building or object: starting

off on an angle, the back end

of the trailer will begin turning

as soon as you pull away,

causing a collision.

To avoid collision, start off

straight then begin your turn.

Proceed slowly to ensure that

the wagon will clear buildings

or objects as you pull away.
