COUPLING / OVERUN DEVICE
Ensure that the draw bar is fully extended. Screw the brake rod into the pivot head and
secure with a M10 nut. Using the M10 ball nut, connect the brake rod to the Bowden cable
via the compensating bracket. Fit and hand tighten the hex securing nut. Now tighten the
M10 ball nut on the brake rod until there is no further play on the pivot head against the draw
bar (the draw bar must be fully extended).
The compensating bracket must be square on the brake rod. The current type of Bowden
cables are non adjustable. Hook the cable on to the compensator bracket . Adjust to ensure
even braking on the brake, not on the compensator.
Check that both wheels run freely in the forward direction. Apply handbrake, the brakes
should start to come on at the second click. The gas strut will ensure that the handbrake is
fully applied. If the trailer is moving backwards the handbrake will move further up. This is
normal. It is imperative that the gas strut is working correctly. Without the gas strut the
brakes will not hold the trailer on a slope.
Adjust brakes if required.
Check that all nuts are secure
Grease the coupling head (Multipurpose
grease to DIN 51825 KTA 3K
Clean and oil all other moving parts.
WHEEL BEARINGS
The wheel bearings are sealed for life and
require no maintenance or grease. The service life for a set of bearings is in the region of 20
000 to 30 000 miles, depending on running conditions. It is vital that the brakes have not
been overheated as this will cause the grease in the sealed ball bearings to evaporate and
the bearings will fail.
Never re-use the flanged nut when refitting the brake drum as the wheel may come off when
towing
When purchasing a brake drum the bearings are normally included, fitted to the brake drum.
If replacing bearings only, contact UpRight or its local representative for further information.
Always use a new flanged nut and torque to 280—300Nm when refitting the drum.
