6.5.3 Special Points to Consider when Loading Dry Bulk Goods
When loading dry bulk goods please also observe the following instructions:
• Distribute the dry bulk goods uniformly over the surface of the bed.
• Protect dry bulk material particularly from being blown away or lost.
• Before unloading the dry bulk cargo open the bottom of the tailgate.
• During tipping the dry bulk cargo may accidentally slide down suddenly. For this reason tip the bed carefully and slowly. When unloading only tip the bed until the material flows slowly and uniformly.
• Dry bulk can cause dust formation and obscure visibility to an extent depend-ing on the material. To minimise dust formation ensure a low material flow during unloading. Interrupt unloading temporarily if necessary.
• Bulk goods may adhere to the bed (e.g. moist soil). The bulk goods must not be loosened by abruptly moving off and braking with the bed raised.
The bed must be unloaded by hand if the load is adhering to it.

Operating Instructions
– If protruding or overhanging loads cover the lights you must attach an additional easily visible lighting unit.
– Trailer snaking may result if the tyre pressure is too low. Before making a trip check the air pressure in all tyres on the trailer. If necessary, adapt the tyre pressure to the weight of the load.
7.2.2 Tips for Driving in Rain, Frost and Snow
– Note that on icy and slippery roads the driving and braking characteris-tics are poorer because the tyres have less traction.
– Before making a trip remove any wa-ter, snow or ice from the roof of the trailer to avoid endangering other drivers.
7.2.3 Tips for Driving in Side Wind
– Side wind can cause the trailer to snake or tip over.
Side wind gusts often occur suddenly and unexpectedly, e.g. on rough ter-rain or bridges, when you are chang-ing lanes or passing etc.
Slow down immediately if you notice a side wind.
7.2.4 Tips for Handling Snaking
– If the vehicle-trailer combination starts snaking carefully take your foot off the gas pedal and counter-steer gently. Do not speed up.
Do not make any hectic or abrupt steering motions.
Stop as soon as the vehicle and trail-er have stabilised. The most frequent causes of snaking are, apart from in-correct driving behaviour and exces-sive speed, incorrect load distribution or insufficient nose weight. For this reason please ensure correct load distribution, nose weight and lashing of the load.
7.3 Brakes
Non-functioning brake system
Bodily injury or material damage
A poorly functioning or non-functioning brake system cannot promptly stop the trailer.
• Before each journey a brake test must be carried out with the trailer.
• Brake early.
Braking distance too short
Bodily injury or material damage
The braking distance of the trailer in-creases with increasing load.
• Note that the ABS system of the tow-ing vehicle does not control the over-run mechanism of the trailer.
• The driver of the towing vehicle must initiate braking early.

NOTE
For trailers with overrun brakes full brak-ing may cause the overrun brake to block the wheels. brake the trailer first brake gently to avoid blocking the wheels. Then brake hard.
TIP
Inexperienced drivers should first prac-tise braking on suitable terrain.
7.3.1 Checking the Brake System
The trailer's brake system must be checked regularly.
• Check whether:
– the guides, Bowden cables or yokes are damaged,
– other components are restricting the Bowden cables,
– the joints on the yokes and the rods are free-moving, but secure,
– the exteriors of the dust seals or gaskets are damaged.
• Ensure that any defects are repaired promptly.
NOTE
If the brake pads need to be replaced make sure the wheel bearings are also checked for wear and damage.
7.4 Reversing
Blind spot
Running over people or objects
• Have an experienced person teach you how to reverse safely to ensure you will not endanger other drivers.
• Make sure no one is between the towing vehicle and the trailer while re-versing.
• Instructors must maintain a safe dis-tance to the trailer and must always be visible in the exterior mirrors when the trailer is being reversed.
7.5 Manoeuvring
NOTE
The trailer can be more easily manoeu-vred if the air pressure in the tyres is not too low. If the trailer is difficult to ma-noeuvre check the tyre pressure (see "Tyre inflation pressure" table).

Operating Instructions
8 Cleaning, Maintenance and Inspection
Cleaning, maintenance and inspection of the trailer are essential for driving safety as well as retention of the value of your trailer and the validity of your warranty.
NOTE
Late or skipped inspections or mainte-nance and cleaning work may result in damage to the trailer and consequent in-jury. This also voids the warranty.
8.1 Care and Cleaning
You may carry out cleaning work yourself.
NOTE
All parts and surfaces must be checked for dirt and, if necessary, cleaned before and after use.Also, long-term dirt accumulation leads to reduced driving safety and value of the trailer.
Salt and acids
Avoid contact with salt, acids and caustic agents. After driving in road salt condi-tions or after transporting fertilisers or oth-er acid-containing substances immediately clean the trailer inside and out with water.
White rust
White rust forms on zinc surfaces which are corroded by prolonged wetness or ex-posed to chlorides such as those found in
road salt. White rust is not a galvanisation quality defect. A thin surface layer of white rust does not damage the galvanised lay-er.
Brush off areas with heavy white rust for-mation using a nylon or wire brush and, if necessary, galvanise again.
Paint damage
Repair immediately before rust is able to form.
Damage to galvanised layer
Immediately galvanise again with a stand-ard commercial zinc spray.
Canvas covers
Canvases are easy-care products. Clean with soap and water.
Wood surfaces
Treat regularly with a commercial wood care product.
Treat damaged areas with wood protec-tion paint.
Protect from prolonged wetness.
Rear lights and lighting elements
Rear lights and lighting elements must al-ways be intact, unobstructed and clean. Wash or clean regularly.
Rims, wheel guards and mudflaps
Clean regularly.

10.1 Information on Quality
The following are not defects:
– Moisture, humidity
– Water ingress,
– Minor scratches
– Varying surface appearance.
Moisture, humidity
The trailer is not thermally insulated. Condensation may therefore form under tarpaulin covers or polyester and alumin-ium roofs.
Water ingress
Water may penetrate into the trailer through openings such as doors, ramps or windows.
NOTE
If your trailer is closed and parked for a long period make sure to ventilate the in-terior every now and again to prevent mildew from forming.
Minor scratches
In the manufacture of BÖCKMANN trail-ers care is taken to ensure that surfaces are not scratched. However, because the trailers are hand-built minor scratch-es can arise on the surfaces during as-sembly. These scratches do not affect the function or safety of the trailer and are not quality defects.
Polyester components
The polyester components are not 100% colour-fast; bleaching and/or colour changes may therefore occur. The indi-vidual components of a polyester con-struction may differ in colour and lustre. Fissures may also occur due to punctual strain on the components, e.g. hoof beats or sliding loads banging against the wall. Fissures are optical damages to the components. They do not affect the functioning or the safety of the vehicle.
10.1.1 Varying surface appearance
Wood surfaces
All wood surfaces used are coated with phenolic resin or plastic. Both phenolic resin and plastic react to changing weather conditions. The colours may fade.
Plywood walls and floors expand and contract minimally according to the rela-tive humidity and temperature of the sur-rounding air due to the natural properties of the material. This may cause warpage in wood parts. Wood grains and unevenness may appear on the surface.
Aluminium surfaces
Aluminium extrusions are anodised. The colours of individual extrusions may vary slightly. This colouring is a characteristic of the material and does not affect the use or safety of the trailer.
Rubber surfaces
Due to their material properties rubber surfaces may shrink slightly over time.

Galvanised metal surfaces
Before galvanised metal surfaces can provide effective protection against cor-rosion they must oxide. This oxidation process may take some months. As long as the metal surface is still shiny silver the oxidation process is not yet complet-ed.
Galvanised parts are not resistant to cer-tain aggressive chemical substances such as acids. Galvanised metal surfac-es in contact with aggressive chemical substances (e.g. road salt in winter or fertiliser) must be rinsed thoroughly with clean water immediately after the jour-ney.
10.2 Ordering Spare Parts and Accessories
There are two methods for ordering spare parts or accessories for your trail-er:
– You can contact the BÖCKMANN dealer in your region. Please see "Our Dealers" on the website www.boeckmann.com to find out where your nearest dealer is.
