Attaching
1. The trailer is connected to the
tow bar on the car (remember to
grease the tow bar ball).
2. If the trailer has a security wire
this one also is attached. It is im-
portant that the safety wire goes
in a straight line from the trailer
to the tow bar.
3. Connect the electric system by
plugging the power plug in the
trailer’s socket.
4. With your chains -ensure they
cross over each other -then at-
tach to vehicle
Before you drive
1. Make sure that the trailer is cor-
rectly attached to the car. This is
controlled by lifting the trailer’s
handle. Some types of ball attach-
ments are equipped with a red/
green indicator, which indicates if
the trailer is properly connected.
2. Test that all the trailer’s lights are
working correctly.
3. Control that the load is evenly
distributed and possibly clamped.
Driving
Driving with e.g. tall trailers
or trailers with tall tarpaulins
in strong side winds should be
avoided, especially if the trailer is
empty.
To drive in reverse with a trailer
requires a little practice. When
driving backwards the trailer is
controlled by the ball on the tow
bar.
Therefore it is neccesary to turn
the car in the opposite direction
than you want the trailer to move.
Try a couple of times,
”practice makes perfect.”
Since there are separate speed
limits for driving with a trailer,
always be aware about this.
At the time of writing the speed
limits are:
• 80-100km on highway.
• 70 -80km on country road.
• 50-60 km in the city (There may
be signs with lower speed limit).
Look up the rules applicable to
your states road for more infor-
mation about speed limits with
trailers.
Detaching
1. Unplug the electric system and
place it in the holder. Remember
to pull the plug and not the wire.
2. Remove the safety brakaway wire.
3. Detach the chain/s from your
vehicle.
4. Detach the trailer from the car’s
tow bar. Lift the trailer free of the
tow bar by winding the jockey
wheel handle. When doing this
be aware of the weight of any
load. If the trailer is towed with
overload on the jockey wheel this
could damage or at worst cause
distortion of the pull catch or
bracket.
