6.7 Tyres/wheels
Functi onal explanati on
•
Wheels / tyres are important safety components on the
trailer.
•
The tyres are subject to permanent wear while driving as
well as to an ageing process and need to be checked
regularly.
•
The wheel size must match your type of trailer.
It may not be arbitrarily changed.
•
The licensed wheel / tyre sizes are entered in the EC
certi fi cate of conformity / COC papers for your trailer.
•
No legal requirements for winter tyres, if using trailer
frequently in the winter, we recommend getti ng winter
tyres.

Rims, 5-bolt (aluminium or steel)
WARNING
Worn tyre profi le / incorrect tyre pressure!
The tyres could burst while driving – accident risk!
The braking distance increases - risk of snaking!
►
Regularly check the tyres.
►
Check the tyre pressure, profi le depth and conditi on of
the tyres - see maintenance table.
Loose wheel nuts!
The trailer may start to snake, ti p over be uncoupled from the
towing vehicle.
►
Aft er every tyre change and aft er the fi rst 50 km, re-ti ght
en the wheel nuts.
►
Check that the wheel nuts are seated securely at regular
intervals (see maintenance table).
Check tyre conditi on
Even on trailers which are not used very oft en, the tyres
are subject to the infl uence of the weather, such as
sunshine, cold, etc. which will cause the tyres to age
faster.
Check tyre conditi on
►
Regularly carry out a thorough visual inspecti on of the
tyres.
Look out for possible cracks and foreign bodies.
►
Replace the tyres aft er about 6 years of use.
- Rubber becomes porous and britt le over ti me.
►
Check the pressure of the tyres when cold before setti ng
off and at the latest 14 days later - see maintenance table.
The maximum tyre pressure applies for both an empty
and a fully laden trailer.
►
Check the profi le depth of the tyres around the middle of
the tread.
In Germany, a minimum of 1.6 mm is required.
