It is important that when loading you follow the correct procedure for safety but also to ensure no damage is done to the trailer or vehicle.
Please always follow these guidelines;
1) Position the trailer so that you have enough spare to open the rear door and unload the vehicle. The trailer should always be attached to the towing vehicle during loading.
2) Whilst the vehicle is still secured safely inside the trailer tilt the bed using the mechanism at the front. Do not exceed its maximum tilt which is reached when the bottom end of the outer tubing is 30mm above the steel ‘Z’ shaped mounting bracket.
We always recommend tilting this to the maximum amount possible allowed by the terrain. This means that the rear of the trailer and the legs on the rear door are as close as possible to the ground.
3) Open the rear door and check that the legs are close to the ground to prevent any overloading of the trailer bed.
4) Make sure the winch clutch is engaged and that the winch is holding the car in place. You can then remove the straps securing the car. Never stand behind the car when unstrapping it.
5) Stand clear of the vehicle and winch the car out using the wireless control. Always keep the car in the centre of the ramp, loading at an angle can damage the locks and ramp itself.
6) Loading is done in the same way, strapping of car is important and should be done using suitable straps with a load rating heavy enough for the load. The winch should not be relied on for securing the car during transit.
