We recommend that stops be fitted to relieve the strain on the securing
screws above the screw-on plate.
z Retract both supports to the stop. This ensures that both supports
will be extended in parallel.
z Align the supports vertically and parallel with one another.
z Depending on the installation size, cut the connection shaft to length.
z Refer to the maximum installation tolerances.
z Install the connection shaft. Ensure that you do not make the moving
parts stiff by bending any components.
After installation conduct a function test.
If all the components have been installed correctly the spindle will turn
easily.
Always install and use the holder for the crank handle. It is for
your own safety!
If the components are not installed correctly the manufacturer and the
support of the spindle support device will not accept any claims under
the warranty.To mount the retrofit exterior frame control
z Remove the six bottom screws on the gear casing.
z Position the exterior frame control and secure it with six screws M6 x
20 with washers and nuts (supplied).
z Move the crank handle holder accordingly so that the crank handle
can be placed in it properly.
If you coat the spindle support device, always switch the gear to low speed
so that none of the coating can get into the grooves in the gear shaft.
6. OPERATION
Operation only by trained personal. Persons should keep off the working area.
To extend the spindle support device
z Park the trailer vehicle on firm, even ground and take care against
coasting (see the operating manual for the trailer vehicle).
z Check the support device for signs of damage, repair it before use if
necessary.
z 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.
z Pull out the crankshaft with the crank handle until the catch engages.
– A slight turning movement will make it easier to engage.
z 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-
Push the crankshaft in with the crank handle until the catch engages.
– A slight turning movement will make it easier to engage.
z 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).
z 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.
After uncoupling the foot must be in it's neutral position.
Do not move the trailer once settled.
