Safety
THE FOLLOWING POINTS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO ENSURE SAFE USE OF THE TRAILER
•
Ensure all occupants are aware of their escape routes in the event of a fire.
•
Always keep escape routes and exit points clear from obstruction.
•
Provide one approved dry powder fire extinguisher of at least 1kg capacity by the main door
and a fire blanket next to the cooker. Familiarise yourself on your fire extinguisher and local
fire precaution arrangements.
•
Ensure the trailer and appliances are serviced and maintained to the manufactures
recommendations.
•
Your trailer is a living environment, and appliances should be treated in the same way as
those in the home to prevent any accidental burning or scalding – keep young children away
from hot surfaces.
•
Your trailer has fold down entrance steps. Always take care when entering and exiting the
trailer, ensuring the step is folded down and safe before use. Check the steps are folded up
and latched before moving the trailer. Do not use a broken step.
•
Never attempt to lift the tow hitch with your hands when hitching the trailer to the tow
vehicle or at any other time. Always wind the jockey handle to raise and lower the hitch.
•
Use an approved towing bracket and coupling ball/jaw on the towing vehicle.
•
Always follow any recommendations for maximum trailer weights given in your towing
vehicle’s handbook.
•
Never exceed the maximum gross weight shown on the trailer plate.
•
Never exceed the recommended towing speeds.
•
Check tyre pressures before every journey. Correct pressures are shown on a label inside the
inspection door of the trailer.
•
Check wheel bolts after first 25 miles of service and subsequently before every journey. (See
section 7.2.2 Fitting Wheels, for wheel bolt tightening details)
•
Check lighting equipment before every journey.
•
Always make use of the breakaway cable.
•
Always leave the handbrake on or chock the wheels when the trailer is parked. When
parking the trailer for extended periods, it is advisable to chock the wheels and release the
handbrake to avoid the possibility of the brake shoes adhering to the brake drum surface.
•
With the trailer coupled to the towing vehicle, the bed of the trailer should be level. It is
recommended, therefore, that provision be made on the towing bracket for adjustments to
be carried out to the towing ball height to allow for various conditions of loading.
•
Never exceed the maximum nose weight.
•
Except in emergencies, never unhitch a loaded trailer. If unavoidable, take great care to
ensure that the jockey wheel is securely clamped and the handbrake is fully applied.
If the trailer is on a slope, chock the wheels as an added precaution.
•
Always tie down securely or restrain effectively all loads and carry out regular checks on the
condition of the load during the journey.
If any additional equipment is to be fitted to the trailer that involves any welding, drilling or any
structural modifications to the trailer, then this is done entirely at the owners risk and may
invalidate your warranty. Always seek professional advice and guidance from your coach
builder/bodywork specialist before undertaking any modifications
