3. TRAILER USAGE
Proper Usage
This trailer is designed for agricultural use with a compact tractor. It is not intended or specied for
road use. Trailer tyres are not designed for road speeds or use.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph) when towing the trailer and always reduce speed on rough, uneven
and slippery surfaces. Avoid making any sudden stops when towing.
Make sure the controls are operated only when seated in the tractor’s seat. Always ensure the
operang area is clear of bystanders and obstrucons when using the trailer. Ensure persons do not
stand, walk or work underneath the trailer when raised.
Proper Loading
The trailer is designed to bear a maximum of 1.5tn of weight, please do not overload. Be mindful of the
type of load on the trailer. Loose loads should be secured. All loads, especially liquid loads, should be
moved slowly with smooth movements when cornering, accelerang or braking.
Never carry people in the trailer or on any poron of the trailer or trailer aachments.
Proper Use On Hills & Cornering
When working on slopes always set brakes on the tractor and trailer. Shi down before starng up or
down a hill with a heavy load.
Turn into corners or ascend/descend any slopes or hills at a low speed. Ensure that steering is made at
a gradual angle rather than sharp turns to prevent the load from pping.
Always make sure that at least 20% of the tractor's weight is on the tractor’s front wheels for safe
operaon and manoeuvrability.
Do not use on steep slopes, especially when loaded.

4. HYDRAULICS & SAFETY
Safety: Ensure tractor and machine is stopped & keys out of ignion before set-up/maintenance.
Fing Hydraulics
Ensure your tractor has sucient hydraulic oil in the reservoir before aaching hydraulics pipes.
Consult your tractor manual for more informaon on the hydraulic tank and checking oil levels. Your
manual will also advise on the grade of hydraulic oil to use. Type 32 hydraulic oil is a well known grade
for compact tractors.
There is one hydraulic ng (1) which needs to be coupled, this is 1/2 Inch BSP (male) which is
common for most compact tractors. Converters are also widely available if your tractor does not suit
this size.
First, pull the collar back on the tractor female hydraulic ng. Then push the male trailer ng in to
the socket and release the collar to secure in to place.
Hydraulic Safety
Always make sure the hydraulic system and all components are kept in good condion and clean.
Before applying any hydraulic pressure to the system, make sure all components are ght and that
lines, hoses and couplings are not damaged. Replace any worn, cut, aened or crimped hoses and
lines straight away.
Do not aempt any makeshi repairs to the hydraulic lines, ngs or hoses by using tapes or clamps.
The hydraulic system operates under high pressure. Such repair may cause hazardous and unsafe
condions.
Always wear proper hand and eye protecon when working with high pressure hydraulics. Use a piece
of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and idenfy any leaks.
If injured by a concentrated high pressure stream of hydraulic uid, seek medical aenon
immediately. Serious infecon or toxic reacon can develop from hydraulic uid on the skin.

5. REMOVING PANELS
Opening & Removing Panels
The sides and rear panels can be opened and folded down for easy loading and unloading. Open the
rear tail gate when using the pping funcon for easy ooading.
The securing latches (1) need to be pulled up and twisted horizontally to allow the panel to release.
There are 4 latches on the side panels and 2 on the rear panel.
To remove the panels completely the panels should be folded down as above then slid to the side to
release from the hinge brackets. This will need an extra pair of hands, especially on the side panels due
to the weight.
