Procedure
1. Place the trailer on a surface corresponding to the location criteria.
2. Secure the towing vehicle.
3. Secure the trailer by applying the handbrake (1) and securing the trailer
against rolling away with the brake shoes (2).
When using the handbrake, make sure that it is always fully applied.
However, the handbrake lever must not be in a vertical position.
A safe braking effect is guaranteed at a position of up to approx. 70 °
for the applied brake. As soon as the handbrake lever is in a position
above 70 °, this means that the braking force has decreased. In this
case, the brakes must be checked by BMS or a specialist workshop
authorized by BMS.
➢ When parking the uncoupled trailer, always use the brake shoes to
prevent the trailer from rolling away.
