Checking the working settings
-
Check the steering angle of the
axles (must be adjusted if
necessary)
-
Check for collision on the spring
assembly, air bellows, frame or
tyre profile
The steering angle for the forced steering
must be re-adjusted every time the towing
vehicle is changed.

Steering angle
Daily system pressure check
Complete adjustment for every towing vehicle change
Attention! The trailer is delivered with the stopcocks closed.
Stopcocks L1, L2 [L3, L4] must be opened before commencing travel to
prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
-
At maximum steering
angle, the tyres must not touch the frame or
other parts of the vehicle.
-
Check the axle stops and adapt them to the tyre size if necessary.
-
At maximum steering angle of the hydraulic cylinders with coupling
(52°), ensure sufficient space from the panelling on the outside and
from the flange coupling on the inside.
-
The cylinder protection (on the side of the traction bar) must be
checked and adjusted for every towing vehicle type; if necessary,
double the cylinder protection until the wheels of the towing vehicle
(tractor) make contact at maximum steering angle.
