THE REAR BARRIER
This has three functions: Firstly it acts as a bridge (B)
between the inner ramp (C) and the rear deck section
(A) when loading, secondly it acts as a lever to the
mechanism which tilts the rear deck section and
thirdly it is a barrier to prevent the livestock on the
upper deck escaping.
OPENING THE REAR BARRIER
Operate the spring bolts located on each side of the
barrier, by pulling back on the pin and rotating, so that
the bolts lock open. Pull the barrier towards you to
open it and tilt the rear deck section, allow the barrier
to come to rest on the raised inner ramp.
If the trailer is being unloaded you should be aware that the barrier may open rapidly once
released. Any livestock within will attempt to exit the trailer as soon as the barrier is released,
and you should be prepared for this eventuality.
CLOSING THE REAR BARRIER
This is simply the reverse of opening, however it is important to note that as the barrier will
now lift the rear deck section as well as any animals that are likely to be standing on it, some
resistance will be felt. Do not release the barrier until you have it in the closed position and
the springbolts have been sprung back (by rotating the pin to release them). Ensure the rear
barrier is secure by checking the springbolts have located into the grooves.
CLOSING THE INNER RAMP
With the rear barrier closed and ensuring there is no weight
on the ramp, rotate the operating rod via the handle (5) to
disengage the ramp locking mechanism (6). This only needs
to be done from one side.
Walk up the ramp until it falls back (against the gas strut
pressure) into the lower position.
Rotate the opening Tabs (2) back into position over the edge
of the ramp platform (3) until they contact the back stop (4)
Next drop the safety stops (1) into position to complete the
inner ramp closing sequence.
CLOSING THE RAMP SIDE GATES AND OUTER RAMP
The left hand side gate should be closed first, locating the peg in the
receptacle
provided in
the floor. Close the right hand gate next, locating it over the bracket fitted to the left hand
gate. On some models there is also a
receptacle
in the floor to receive this gate. The outer
ramp can now be lifted, and the ramp handles rotated and pushed back so that the tongue
of the handle locates in the receiver on the trailer body. When the handle reaches its closed
position the plunger will spring out to lock it in place.
