4 Equipment
In the standard situation the trailer is delivered only partially assembled. Pre-
assembly is possible for an additional charge.
4.1 Coupling
Coupling on the towed vehicle in accordance with DIN 74054 / ISO 8755, Ø40
suitable for coupling on the towing vehicle DIN 11025, DIN 11028 Form A, B, C,
and DIN 74051 Part 1.
4.2 Drawbar
The drawbar can be mounted approx. 535, 565 or 620 mm above the ground.
Danger!
Never change the height of the drawbar on your own. Always commission a
specialized company.
4.3 Support wheel
The trailer is equipped with a hinged support wheel, which is height-adjustable
via a spindle.
Fig. 13: Support wheel
Warning!
After coupling the trailer to the towing vehicle and before starting to drive,
lift up the support wheel.
Attention!
Only actuate the support wheel with your foot.

4.4 Brake
Danger!
All tasks on the brake system must be executed by trained specialists in
qualified specialized workshops.
This multifunction trailer is equipped with an overrun device with parking brake,
automatic reverse, and breakaway cable.
The breakaway cable activates the handbrake, if the coupling between towing
vehicle and trailer should release.
Warning!
After coupling the trailer to the towing vehicle, the breakaway cable must
be connected to the towing vehicle.
4.5 Chassis, tires
The chassis has a rigid, unsprung axle. The permissible axle load is 2500 kg.
The following tires are approved:

Table 2: Tire dimensions and tire pressure
Warning!
Ensure correct tire pressure and the legally prescribed tread depth
4.6 Dump device
The multifunction trailer is equipped with a hydraulic, single-acting lift cylinder.
The lift cylinder is connected to the vehicle hydraulics. For this, there is a cou-
pling on the rear of the vehicle, which you can operate from the driver seat with a
control lever.

Equipment
Page 19
Warning!
The function of the hydraulic system is described in the manual of the tow-
ing vehicle. Comply with the instructions in the operating manual of the
towing vehicle.
Lifting occurs through the oil pressure of the tractor. Lowering occurs through the
empty weight.
Fig. 14: Connecting the lift cylinder
Danger!
Do not attempt to find a possible leak in the hydraulic system with your fin-
gers. Oil under high pressure can cause severe injuries.
Note!
A single-acting control valve is preferred, however in principle the trailer can also
be connected to a double-acting control valve. In this case the hydraulic system
will build up pressure when lowering the load platform, which can be indicated by
increased engine noise.
Fig. 15: Lift cylinder
The complete dump device is already assembled in the delivery status of the
multifunction trailer. Do not make any changes to the dump device. Note particu-
larly, that you are not allowed to remove or extend the securing cable. The secur-
ing cable limits the lift of the dump device in all three directions. The length of the
cable ensures that the possibility of the entire trailer tipping over when dumping
the load bed, is excluded.

Leave the securing cable of the dump device in its original delivery condi-
tion. A securing cable that is too long can result in the entire trailer tipping
over when dumping the load bed.

4.7 Panel height extension
The panel height extension is inserted into the stanchions of the base side panel.
The side panels of the panel height extension are hooked on with pendulum
mechanisms and are also locked through the locking mechanism of the base
panels. Assembly instructions are provided with the panel height extension
