Overview

This document provides assembly and usage instructions for the ERDÉ 122.2 and DAXARA 127.2 trailers, identified by part number N°58420025/A. The manual details the step-by-step assembly process, including the components, tools required, and specific tightening torques for various fixings.

Function Description

The ERDÉ 122.2 and DAXARA 127.2 are utility trailers designed for general-purpose hauling. They feature a robust chassis with a drawbar, an axle with wheels, and a cargo bed with side panels and a tailgate. The trailers are intended to be towed by a vehicle, providing additional cargo capacity. The assembly process involves attaching the drawbar, axle, wheels, and cargo bed components, including the side panels and tailgate. Electrical connections for lighting are also integrated into the design, ensuring road legality.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual specifies various nuts and bolts used in the assembly, indicating their dimensions and quantities. Key fixings include:

  • M 10x25 bolts: 4 pieces
  • M 8x25 bolts: 4 pieces
  • M 8x20 bolts: 12 pieces (for general assembly), 2 pieces (for sections G-J), 2 pieces (for section H), 4 pieces (for section I)
  • 90° BRACKETS: 4 pieces
  • M 6x12 bolts: 2 pieces (for general assembly), 2 pieces (for sections G-J)
  • Ø10 washers: 4 pieces (for general assembly), 8 pieces (for section A)
  • Ø10 bolts: 8 pieces
  • 8x16 bolts: 1 piece
  • M 12x70 bolt: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • Ø12 washer: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • M12 nut: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • M 10 bolt: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • Ø10 washer: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • M 10x70 bolt: 1 piece (for drawbar)
  • Wheel nuts: 8 pieces

Torque Specifications:

  • M6 fixings: 0.8 daN.m (or 0.8 Kg.m)
  • M8 fixings: 1.8 daN.m (or 1.8 Kg.m)
  • M10 fixings: 3.6 daN.m (or 3.6 Kg.m)
  • Wheel nuts: 6 daN.m (or 6 Kg.m)

The trailers are designed for 480x8 wheels, as indicated by the assembly instructions for the mudguards. The electrical system includes yellow and green cables, likely for indicator and brake lights, which need to be clipped to the beam.

Usage Features

The assembly instructions highlight several usage-related features:

  • Modular Design: The trailer components are supplied in packs (Pack A and Pack B), suggesting a modular design for easier shipping and assembly.
  • Drawbar Assembly: The drawbar is a critical component, and its assembly involves removing a pre-fitted bolt, inserting a new bolt, and securing it with specific nuts and washers. This ensures a secure connection to the towing vehicle.
  • Wheel Installation: The wheels are secured with eight wheel nuts, and it's emphasized that the domed head of the nut should be against the wheel rim.
  • Base Panel Clamping: The base panel must be securely clamped down to the drawbar, indicating its importance for structural integrity and load distribution.
  • Tailgate: The trailer features a tailgate that can be closed and secured, allowing for easy loading and unloading of cargo while ensuring its retention during transit.
  • Mudguards: The mudguards are installed using 90° brackets, which fit inside the mudguard, providing protection from road debris.
  • Lighting: The presence of electrical cables (yellow and green) and the requirement to clip them to the beam indicate that the trailer is equipped with lighting, essential for road safety and compliance.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides crucial maintenance guidelines to ensure the trailer's longevity and roadworthiness:

  • Progressive Tightening: The instructions repeatedly emphasize "DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN FIXINGS AT THIS STAGE" during initial assembly steps (sections A and G-J), followed by "FULLY TIGHTEN ALL FIXINGS IN SECTIONS A-C" and "FULLY TIGHTEN FIXINGS IMMEDIATELY" for the base panel. This phased tightening approach is a key maintenance practice, ensuring components settle correctly before final torque application.
  • Post-Assembly Check: A critical maintenance step is to "check the tightness of all fixings on the opposite listed components" after assembly and again after the first 60 miles. This addresses potential loosening due to initial use and vibrations. The components to check include:
    • Wheels
    • Axle
    • Drawbar
    • Coupling head
    • Mudguards
    • Lighting
  • Regular Inspections: The manual states that "Road trailers must be inspected prior to use to ensure they are of a road worthy condition; it is a legal requirement that all trailers are maintained and comply with all relevant regulations." It further advises that "the unit should be checked at least annually by a competent person." This highlights the importance of routine professional inspections.
  • Bearing Maintenance: While "Sealed bearings do not require lubrication," they "require frequent inspection for wear and should be replaced if worn or noisy." This specific instruction for bearings is vital for wheel integrity and safe operation.
  • General Wear and Tear: The overall emphasis on checking fixings and components for wear and noise indicates a proactive approach to maintenance, preventing failures and ensuring safety.
  • Safety Precaution: The "WEAR GLOVES DURING ASSEMBLY" warning is a general safety feature, protecting the user from cuts and abrasions during the assembly process.

The manual, produced by Maypole Ltd on behalf of ERDÉ, provides comprehensive guidance for both assembly and ongoing maintenance, ensuring the safe and effective use of the ERDÉ 122.2 and DAXARA 127.2 trailers.
