Fig. 2 EquiSpace spatial concept with AERO Front saddle compartment

Fig. 3 Individual interior fittings (example)

The horse trailers were specially designed for transporting horses. The range of models allows for the transport of 1 to 2 horses.

The horse trailers come equipped with a brake and reverse automatic function as a standard. All horse trailer models have a handbrake with overrun hitch as standard.

For most models, the ALUBICOMP Floor and the EquiDrive chassis are part of the standard equipment. The EquiDrive PLUS chassis is available as an optional extra.

The side vent windows and the optional roof vent ensure an adequate supply of air during the drive.

The optional panorama roof of the new Maximus allows the horse to look out into the distance.

Some models come with a saddle compartment as standard equipment. The saddle compartment can be individually designed, with various saddle rails or storage facilities.

The EquiSpace spatial concept in combination with AERO Front allows for a very high storage volume.

The folding tailgate / front exit ensures simple loading / unloading of the horse. As an option, the tailgate can also be executed as a revolving door.

In the AERO models, wind noise and fuel consumption are minimised by the AERO Front. The 20% larger saddle compartment provides sufficient storage space for all utensils.

The large-scale trailers provide maximum room for 2 horses.

Depending on the model and size of the trailer selected, the interior fittings can be adapted to your requirements.

The carriage trailer with a specially extended drawbar provides comfortable transport for two horses and a carriage.

Observe the general safety and warning instructions on safely parking your trailer in the operating instruction manual “Trailers up to 3.5 to” (General Points – Part 1).

WARNING

Incorrectly uncoupled trailer

The trailer could start moving and tip over. People could be struck by the trailer and run over -

risk of crushing!

Only uncouple the trailer when it is empty.

 Use wheel chocks and the hand brake to secure the

trailer from rolling away before uncoupling.

WARNING

Unsecured wheel chocks could fall off while driving - risk of accidents!

 Check that the wheel chocks are secured before driving

off.

 Check the holders for damage at regular intervals.

Take note of the safety instructions and instructions for the electric systems in the operating instruction manual, “Trailers up to 3.5 to” General Points – Part 1.

The electric lighting system operates with 12 V as standard.

WARNING

Risk of short circuit / electrocution!

You could be exposed to dangerous voltage or cause a fire through a short circuit in the electric systems when carrying out work on the electric systems.

Observe the following points before working on the electrical system:

 Loosen all plug-type connections to the towing vehicle.

 Loosen all plug-type connections to external

power supplies.

 Switch off all power consumers.  Ensure that nobody else switches on the power supply.  Have all work on electrical installations carried out by

qualified specialist staff.

WARNING

Failure of electrical functions

The road handling and the braking distance deteriorate accident risk!

 Check that all electrical connections have been assem-

bled before driving off.

 Check the condition of the plugs and cables before

driving off.

 Do not drive with cracked or defective electric systems

Basic information about repairs and maintenance

Note the maintenance regulations in the operating instruction manual “Trailers up to 3.5 to” General – Part 1.

Certain maintenance work may only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel.

The prescribed maintenance intervals must be complied with.

Trailers must be inspected by a competent / qualified specialist for their condition for safe operation as and when required, but at least once a year.

This also applies to all components which are used for the load securing according to VDI 2700 or / and EN 12642.

All important mechanical components must be inspected and maintained at regular intervals for safety reasons.

These include:

–Axles

– Brakes

–Bolts

– Pipe connections

– Attachments

– Electric systems

– Comply with the accident prevention regulations for all

maintenance work.

– Comply with the environmental protection guidelines.

– Switch off the engine of the towing vehicle prior to

starting maintenance work.

– Damaged and non-functioning trailer parts must be

exchanged for original spare parts of Humbaur GmbH.

General information

Action in the case of faults

This section contains information on possible faults in the trailer. The information should facilitate the search for the fault source and enable it to be rectified to the extent that the next service station of Humbaur GmbH can be reached.

Faults which occur as a consequence of failing to comply with the operating instruction manual or as a result of a lack of maintenance are not considered.

Unfortunately we cannot cover all the problems which may occur here.

In the case of major faults, please notify the Humbaur

Service (see contact addresses stated below).

WARNING

Improper troubleshooting

Improper troubleshooting can cause components to fail accident risk!

 Have faults rectified only by a qualified specialist work-

shop.

WARNING

Unsecured trailer / unexpected movement

Going under the chassis when troubleshooting - risk of crushing if the trailer starts to move unexpectedly.  Make sure that the trailer is secured by wheel chocks /

wooden blocks, so that it cannot roll away.
