9.2.3 FITTING WHEELS
• Ensure wheel bolt threads and wheel
seating surfaces are clean and dry.
• Place wheel over locating rim on the hub.
• Tighten each bolt slightly and then tighten
to the torque figure given below, following
the sequence shown in the diagram to
the right.
Bolt size: 4 x M12
Torque: 88Nm
Socket size: 19mm A/F
Wheel bolts should be checked
after the first 25 miles/40km of
service and subsequently before
every journey.
DO NOT REPLACE WITH LOWER
RATED TYRES
The maximum gross weight figure given on
the trailer plate is always equal to or less than
the approved maximum load for the tyres
multiplied by the number of tyres on the
trailer. In some cases, this includes a bonus
load which is allowed for trailer use up to
60mph. Other maximum load figures are
marked on some tyres. These do not apply to
the UK or Europe and should be disregarded.
9.1.1 TYRE REPAIRS
Punctures should be inspected and repaired
by a specialist tyre distributor. Do not fit
tubes to tubeless tyres as this can lead
to a “blow out” in the event of a further
puncture. If the tyre is too severely damaged
for a repair to be carried out the tyre should
be replaced.
9.2 CHANGING A WHEEL
9.2.1 JACKING UP THE TRAILER
DON’TS:
• Don’t place the jack on the centre
line of the trailer under axles or chassis
cross members.
• Don’t place the jack directly under the
bodywork edges, mudguards, front/rear
bumpers or the floor.
• Don’t place the jack under the suspension
springs.
• Don’t place the jack under the drawbars.
9.2.2 JACKING POINTS
1. Outer ends of the axles beside the springs.
2. Outer ends of the chassis cross members
beside the chassis rails.
