Recommendation; Safety Instructions - KNOTT KS25 Instrucciones De Montaje Y Servicio

5. Recommendation:

The optimum damping effect with new friction elements is only achieved after a
certain running-in period.
If the friction elements become worn out or come into contact with oil or grease,
they must be replaced in order to restore the full operational effectiveness of the
damping and thus the stabilisation of the trailer.
To further increase driving safety we recommend that you upgrade the trailer with
our electronic stabilisation system (ETS plus). When instability is detected in the
trailer, the ETS plus brings it back on track through targeted brake intervention.
In addition, we also recommend using / retrofitting wheel brakes with automatic
adjustment. This is the only way to ensure that the full braking action is always
available allowing an electronic stabilisation system to effectively intervene in an
emergency.
6. Safe instructions:
CAUTION – Risk of crushing!
Do not reach into the open stabilising coupling head.
The spring-loaded closing mechanism could trigger, resulting in injury to your
fingers.
Do not be tempted to take any safety risks due to the increased safety offered by
the KS25, KS30 or KS35. Always adapt your driving speed to the weather, road
surface and traffic conditions.
While driving, stabilisation must be activated!
The achievable stabilising effect on the vehicle-trailer combination depends to a
great extent upon the effectiveness of the friction linings in the coupling head as
well as the condition of the vehicle towball.
Therefore, check the wear level of the friction elements regularly.
The friction elements must be completely free of oil and grease.
The driving stability of the trailer largely also depends on the load, the tyre pressu-
re and the condition of the tyres.
The physically defined limits are not invalidated by the KS25, KS30 or KS35.
Trailers/caravans with a high centre of gravity can topple over before a notable
oscillation arises. This cannot be prevented by the KS25, KS30 or KS35.
No improper modifications may be carried out on the brake system.
