6. DRIVING WITH THE TRAILER
Please note, when driving with a trailer, braking and acceleration performance is reduced
proportional to load being towed. For your own safety and the safety of other road
users, it is necessary to take the increased brake distance and acceleration time into
consideration when driving. You are, therefore, obligated to adapt your driving style to
encompass the changes in braking and accelerating parameters.
Some useful tips include:
•
Maintain longer following distance between yourself and the car in front of you.
•
Keep reckon of longer distances required when overtaking other vehicles. Always
remember that your trailer extends the rear of your car by an additional 3m.
•
Try to avoid frequent hard braking and acceleration. Maintaining smooth
acceleration and slow braking will not only be more economical (and result in
lower emissions), but also result in a higher average speed and safer driving.
7. INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLDING YOUR TRAILER
There are two methods for folding your Foldy trailer to store it in a safe manner:
1. Quick folding without side wall removal
2. Folding with side wall removal
For each, please follow the procedures given below correctly to ensure safe work.
7.1 QUICK FOLDING WITHOUT SIDE WALL REMOVAL
We recommend you use this procedure for folding your trailer whenever possible. Folding
the trailer without removal of the sidewalls provides the following considerations:
•
The procedure is the quickest to folding and unfolding. This is ideal for fast regular
use.
•
It offers the highest level of safety and stability when the trailer is stored in the
vertical position.
•
There is an increased space requirement because sidewalls of the trailer’s will
increase vertical footprint by an additional 30cm. This is the trade-off you need to
consider.
