4. Operation

To extend the spindle support device
l Park the trailer vehicle on firm, even ground (see the
operating manual for the trailer vehicle).
l Check the support device for signs of damage, repair it
before use if necessary.
l Before activating the spindle support device swing the crank
handle out of its holder and engage it on the crankshaft.
Switch to high gear:
Only extend and retract the support device in high
gear when it is not loaded to lower it down to the ground.
l Pull out the crankshaft with the crank handle until the catch
engages.
- A slight turning movement will make it easier to engage.
l Extend the spindle support device by turning the crank
handle anti-clockwise.
Switch from high gear to low gear before the foot
reaches the ground.
Switch to low gear:
to raise and lower the loaded or unloaded trailer vehicle
l Push the crankshaft in with the crank handle until the catch
engages.
- A slight turning movement will make it easier to engage.
l In low gear raise the semi-trailer to the required height and
leave the crank handle in low gear.
Watch for the lifting limit (the force required to turn the
crank handle rises).
l At the end of the turning movement slowly relieve the strain
on the crank handle.There is a danger that the crank handle
will jump backwards.
After every operation switch the gear to low gear.
Always place the crank handle in the holder
provided for it.

l Follow the above instructions in reverse.
l After coupling the trailer, fully retract the spindle
support device.
