Instructions
to users. These are also shown in the warranty certificate.
To the owner of a Farmi Pro/Respo trailer:
Your trailer is almost maintenance-free and can be stored
outdoors. Although it is an untiring companion, it is still
a man-made device (officially a vehicle), which needs some
attention from time to time. When you have purchased it,
remember to register it under your own name in a vehicle
inspection centre or insurance company. The process is simple
and only takes little time.
Some instructions for you to follow.
- Tighten the wheel bolts once after every 500
km.
- Never put most of the load to the back of the trailer,
because if the trailer turns over, it will also take the
car with it. A suitable towbar weight is 10-30 kg. With
heavier loads, also remember to increase the weight on the
towbar accordingly.
- The trailer has maintenance-free compact bearings, which
we nowadays use in all of our trailers.
- Recommended tyre pressure is 2,7, but this is not a must.
- It is easy and simple to lock the trailer at a point in
the drawhead using a padlock. The trailer towbar has been
approved by the Finnish Vehicle Administration AKE, which
even at the minimum allows the use of a towing vehicle whose
total weight can be as much as 7000 kg. With the bigger
models, total permitted vehicle weight may be as much as
22 tons.
About the canopy
- Remove thick snow from the canopy, as it does not withstand
much snow without collapsing. If it does collapse, you can
easily return to it original shape by taking it to a warm
place and lifting it carefully.
About braked trailers
- All braked trailers have compact, maintenance-free hub
bearings.
- Do not use the handbrake on braked trailers unnecessarily,
because the brake shoes may freeze and become jammed in
the drum. If they have already frozen (the wheel does not
rotate), sharply knock the drum with a hammer. This often
helps.
- When reversing uphill, the reverse automatics may resist
the motion. Release the automatics with a back and forth
movement.
- There is a bolt inside the brake drums. Tightening the
bolt will bring the brake shoes closer to the drum and vice
versa.
