5. Wheel accessories
5.1 . T yr es and ri ms
All wheels and tyres mounted on the trailer are identical. A number of options with regard to make, size,
offset and profile of wheel/tyre are available, but these should always comply with the technically
permissible axle loads, the load-speed index and the brake schedule.
In the interest of safety it is extremely important to respect the correct tyre
pressures.
Driving on tyres with insufficient pressure causes an abnormal rise in temperature which damages parts
of the tyres. This damage is irreversible and will in due course unavoidably lead to flat tyres. The
consequences of insufficient tyre pressures are not always immediately visible and may only become
apparent long after the tyre pressures have been corrected.
The valve cap is essential for complete air-tightness and for protection of the
inner valve.
Tyre pressures are stated on the sticker located on the side of the trailer at the
first axle.
5.2 . Spa re w heel and sp a re w he el ca rr ie r
The spare wheel is located as standard in the single spare wheel carrier on the passenger side of the
vehicle. The spare wheel can be reached by folding the side guards upwards. In order to lift the spare
wheel from its carrier, remove the safety bar which keeps the spare wheel in position.
Figure 5.2.a. – Single spare wheel carrier
An optional double spare wheel carrier may be fitted.
The maximum load is 140 kg for a single spare wheel carrier and 250 kg for a
double spare wheel carrier.
The spare wheel should be securely fastened to the spare wheel carrier at all
times in order to avoid damage, coming loose or losing the spare wheel.
5.3 . W heel cho ck
The use of the wheel chock is strongly recommended when uncoupling the trailer. This must also be
done when on an apparently not inclined surface.
Do not forget to remove the wheel chock and return it to its holder once the
trailer has been coupled.

5.4 . M ud guards and mud f lap s
There are two types of mud guards which comply with the legal requirements. The first type covers the
wheels collectively using part of the chassis and the second type covers the wheels individually.
