Maintenance of the brake system
• Control the brakes regularly. Test the brakes at least once per week while trailer is working.
• See to it that no lubricant penetrates into the brakes. Any lubricant, which has penetrated the
brake, causes greasing of the disks, thereby reducing friction between their working surfaces. A
poor operation of the brakes is the result of such a situation. In such a case dismantle the brake,
eliminate the oil leakage, wash the greasy disks with a cleaner or gasoline and let them dry out.
• Always control the brake control linkage after the drum has being dismantled, adjust if needed.
For adjusting the brakes you need to lift up the bogie-frame from the ground and adjust the
brake levers. You do this by spinning the wheel while adjusting. The brakes are correctly adjusted
when they spin freely without any scraping noises from the wheel.
• After any kind of adjustment of the brakes, always carry out a practical brake test before driving
away.
• If the brakes seems to work poor, apply the brakes, pull the trailer maintaining low speed for a
couple of hundred meters, try againbraking the vehicle while driving at a normal speed. Repeat
until the brakes functions normally. If this doesn´t help, it is necessary to contact your dealer or
our service department!
Maintenance of wheels
When working on the tires, parking shoes or other objects without sharp edges must be placed under
the wheels of the trailer to prevent it from rolling.
Replacement or repair of the wheel must be carried out by a trained person and with appropriate tools.
The wheel can be taken o only when the trailer is unloaded.
A check must be carried out after the rst use, after the rst work with a load, after a whole day of
intensive work and every 6 month or when the trailer has not been used for a longer period. The checks
shall be repeated after every removal of the wheel from the axle.
• Place the hooklift trailer on a at surface.
The sideways incline may not exceed 5
degrees!
