•
Check the tightening of the nuts after first operation of the trailer, after the first
driving with load and then once per 6 months of operation or 25,000 kilometers. In
the event of intensive work checking the nut tightening should be done at least
every 100 km. The inspection should be repeated if a wheel has been removed
from the axle.
•
Avoid potholes, sudden maneuvers or high speeds when turning.

Check the tire pressure regularly. The air pressure should be also checked after

Protect tire valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling.
