1. Foreword
Max Trailer semi-trailers have been designed to guarantee outstanding use in all possible
fields of application.
The most advanced technical development and the very best production methods are
combined with the most demanding stability criteria and characteristic design.
The present brochure provides our customers with all the necessary information and
maintenance instructions, together with instructions on the installation of various component
parts. Please comply with these instructions to ensure that the semi-trailer is always in the
very best operating condition.
To guarantee this, only original spare parts are to be used in the event of repair.
This brochure has been elaborated with the most care. Nevertheless, Max Trailer doesn’t
accept liability for eventual mistakes or consequences of them.
We hope that you will have much enjoyment with your vehicle and wish you a good trip!
IMPORTANT REMARKS
The following operating instructions must have been read and understood by all those
working in whatsoever manner (operation, maintenance) with or on the vehicle. No work
shall be carried out if this, in any way, involves danger to the vehicle or the technician. The
operator shall ensure that no unauthorized personnel work on the vehicle.
Secure the surroundings of the Max Trailer product when parking, loading or unloading.
It is forbidden for anyone (operator or other) to stay in the hazardous area around the Max
Trailer product.
Hydraulic connections
Before starting out on a journey, all hydraulic leads are to be inspected for proper connection
and perfect fit.
Preservation of the electric sockets
All the plugs must be removed minimum every 5000 km and must be preserved.
Special instructions for the hydraulics
To assure an optimal function of the hydraulics, please respect following advices:
➢ After two months you have to make the first oil-change. This oil can be used again, if
it is carefully filtered. You have to change the oil every two years (more often, if very
dirty).
➢ The first oil-filter-change has to occur for the first time after two months. After it,
every 6 months. Even if you clean the filters, you cannot use them again: you have to
install new ones.
➢ After 50 hours driving, you have to clean the oil tank.
➢ Al the piston rods, that are not retracted by inactivity, have to be treated as such:
a. Rub them off with hydraulic oil

b. Conserve them with non-acid grease, if they have to remain a long time without
activity.
Cleaning or rubbing off chromium-plated piston rods with a steam jet cleaner or a soda
containing detergent can damage the chromium plate of the piston rods or destroy the
anticorrosive paint.
Suspension
As we visited several building sites, we remarked that the semi-trailers were lift completely
to get a maximum ground clearance due to the unevenness of the building site. The situation
is the same if the trailers have to pass under a bridge: that for they have to be completely
lowered.
We would like to advise you that by 100% use of the suspension, the axle compensation is not
yet guaranteed: by passing unevenness the whole load is distributed on one axle that is
overloaded. This can lead to distortion of the concerned axle.
This information is not depending on a special brand and has to be applied for each product.
Locking cylinders of the self-steering axle
To prevent damages to the locking cylinders, the trailer must be straight before
riding backwards. In case of wrong handling, the Max Trailer Company will not
accept any warranty claim about those cylinders.
Wheel nuts/Brake
After approx. 50 km, check the vehicle’s wheel nuts and all other nuts and bolts and if
necessary, tighten.
Adjustment of the tractor’s brake system
After a running-in time about 1000 km, the service brake system and the tractors must both
be adjusted, since otherwise the brake linings may prematurely wear. This adjustment has to
be carried out by an independent brake specialist.
The company shall not, therefore, be held liable for any wear and tear.
Maximum pressure:
➢ 0,4 bar (drum brakes)
➢ 0 bar (disk brakes)
Paintwork
The paintwork on your Max Trailer semi-trailer complies with very stringent quality control.
New paintwork requires at least 6 weeks drying completely. Thus, any additional paintwork,
the application of company logos and other related work (decals) must only be carried out
after the paintwork has hardened off completely.
Furthermore, do not clean the semi-trailer with a steam jet cleaner during the first 3 months.
After this, keep a minimum distance of 50 cm between the steam jet nozzle and the semi-
trailer.
Non-compliance with the above-mentioned remark may result in the removal of paint,
especially on the aluminium side walls.
Max Trailer will not accept liability for any damage caused due to non-
observance of the above-mentioned points !!!
EU Reflectors
If your trailer has a detachable yellow/orange EU reflector, we would like to advise you that
in case you will have to remove it, because of a load that reaches out of your trailer behind,
you are obliged to fix it on the load. Otherwise you risk getting problems in some EU countries,
because these reflectors are requested in the traffic laws.
Attention low temperatures
All the Max Trailer vehicles may be used without restrictions until a temperature of – 20°C.
If you want to use a Max Trailer by temperatures under -20°C, you have to contact Max Trailer,
that will send you a written authorization with some restrictions particularly about the
payload and the using speed ( a reduction of 50% is possible).
Generally, if the trailers have to be used by temperatures under 0°C, we advise using low
temperature oils.
2. Operation
2.1 Coupling the semi-trailer
➢ Put on the parking brakes.
➢ Check to see that the height of the fifth wheel is correct (0-2 cm lower than the
semi-trailers buffer plate), if necessary correct using the tractor’s air suspension (if
applicable) or raise and lower the landing gears.
➢ Release the fifth wheel coupling and reverse tractor until the coupling engages.
Check connection and insert safety hook.
➢ Connect all the hose couplings between the tractor and the semi-trailer in
accordance with instructions and test for proper operation.
➢ Raise the landing gears.
➢ Remove wheel chock (if in place).
➢ Release the parking brake.
2.2 Uncoupling the semi-trailer
➢ Lower the suspension completely
➢ Put on the parking brake.
➢ Lower the landing gears.
➢ Remove the hose couplings between tractor and the semi-trailer and connect to the
special block on the tractor.
➢ Release the fifth wheel.
➢ Drive the tractor straight forwards.
2.3 Parking brake with spring brake cylinder
The brake can be operated by using the stop valves located on the sides of the semi-trailer.
An adhesive sticker indicates whether these are in the open or closed position.
When the stored pressure falls down below 6 bar, the spring brake cylinders can
no longer be released. In an emergency, the cylinders can be released manually
by releasing the screws on the spring brake cylinder.
In case of a MAX 600, the stop valve illustrated on the sticker beneath and situated on the
front bogie only works on the front axle(s).
2.4 Extending the semi-trailer
➢ Park the coupled semi-trailer on level ground.
➢ Activate the parking brake or disconnect the red air brake hose coupling (from the
stored pressure hose).
➢ Open the locking pin (by using the stop valve).
➢ Extend semi-trailer to the desired length.
➢ Close the locking pin.
➢ Drive semi-trailer forwards or backwards until the indexing bolt locks into position.
➢ Release the parking brake or connect the air brake hose coupling.
When in the extended position, the semi-trailer may only be loaded with a self-
supporting load, leaned on the front part !!!
2.5 Retracting the semi-trailer
➢ Park the coupled semi-trailer on level ground.
➢ Activate the parking brake or disconnect the air brake hose coupling (from the
stored pressure connection).
➢ Open the locking pin (by using the stop valve).
➢ Drive the semi-trailer into position. Should the indexing bolt not lock into position,
drive the semi-trailer forwards and backwards several times until it engages.
➢ Close the locking pin.
➢ Check to see that the telescopic beam is properly locked.
➢ Release the parking brake or connect the air brake hose coupling.
2.6 Locking of the self-steering axle

The self-steering axle locks into position automatically by engaging reverse gear. For this to
occur, the semi-trailer’s axle has to be straight. Should the semi-trailer not be fitted with an
electrically-connecting reverse gear, the self-steering axle can also be activated by a stop
valve which is located in the vicinity of the axle. Please comply with the connection diagram
for the reverse gear shown in the enclosed electrical plan.
2.7 Supporting the semi-trailer

The following instructions are to be complied with:
➢ When uncoupling the semi-trailer on soft ground, add extra material under supports.
➢ When the vehicle is to be uncoupled, use the highest speed to extend supports.
Continue to extend at a lower speed until the weight on the tractor’s suspension has
been compensated, then uncouple.
➢ Never try to lift an uncoupled but loaded semi-trailer with the supports.
➢ When uncoupling a loaded semi-trailer, ensure that the parking brake is released.
2.8 U-beam for ramps
All the semitrailers which are fitted with a U-beam for aluminium ramps are equipped with
manual landing jacks. Before loading the semitrailer the jacks have to be lowered.
If the vehicle is not provided with folding beams the external frame at the rear
has to be put down on an appropriate support, before loading the ramps.
2.9 Different options
2.9.1 Lifting axle
Function
The lifting axle(s) may only be lifted with a driving speed of 0 km/h.
The pressure of the air bags and the supply is controlled by the TEBS E.
The lifting axle cannot raise any more if the vehicle is lowered until the stop or if the supply
pressure is too weak (< 6.5 bar).
The lifting axle cannot be used if the electric supply ISO 7638 coming from the truck is not
available.
Adjusting of the lifting axle when the contact is off
The lifting axle valve with return spring can only lower the lifting axle if the contact is off.
Auxiliary starting system
Application
On all the semi-trailers with air suspension and with a lifting axle as first axle, it is possible to
install an auxiliary starting system according to the EU directives 98/12/CE.
The value that following the EU directives corresponds to max. 30 % of overloading, has been
defined by Max Trailer on 30 km/h.
If the speed reaches 30 km/h the axle lowers or goes back to the automatic system.
The lifting axle valve with return spring
In case of a auxiliary starting system the lifting axle can be raised if the authorized pressure
of the air bag is not exceeded during the raising of the axle.
If the authorized pressure is exceeded during the auxiliary starting, the raising process stops
and the concerned lifting axle lowers.
Activation of the auxiliary starting system
Braking:
By pushing three times on the brake you can activate or stop the auxiliary starting system.
(The pressure has to lower under 0,4 bar between the three brakings)
Conditions:
The semi-trailer must be stopped.
After 2 seconds without braking pressure, activate the brake three times in 10 seconds with
a pressure between 3 and 8 bar and afterwards release it.
To stop the auxiliary starting system push again three times on the brake.
The axle cannot be lowered by activating the brake.
2.9.2 Hydraulics ramps
For easier and faster loading of construction machines, tractor units or tracklaying vehicles,
hydraulic ramps can be fitted to the rear of semitrailers. These can be operated with control
levers.
The width of the ramps can be adjusted.
Depending on the model, adjust width manually using the lever on the ramp frame and the
perforations (holes) made on the rear end to mount the lever or hydraulically, using the
operating lever. Only adjust width when the ramps are raised, they also have to be a little
lifted from the frame.
With the ramp in the raised position, tighten the ramps with the supplied chain tool.
Proceed as follows when loading with a ramp:
➢ Switch on hydraulic supply.
➢ Extend landing gears.
➢ Lower semitrailer.
➢ Lower ramps and load semitrailer.
➢ Raise semitrailer.
➢ Raise the landing gears.
➢ Switch off hydraulic supply.
It is strictly prohibited to walk into the working area of the ramps!!!
2.9.3 Electric cable winch
The plugging of the electric cable winch can occur through the cable of the aggregate between
truck and semi-trailer.
The supply cable can be plugged in an electric socket, situated on the support of the cable
winch.
2.9.4 Loading of the lifting bed
The load must absolutely be symmetrical to the middle of the vehicle (or centred).
To activate the lifting bed, push on the electric button and pull or push the operating lever to
raise or lower the lifting bed.
2.9.5 Loading of the trailer via the hydraulic overhang
1) Lower the overhang to the ground
2) Remove the alu ramps from the storage
3) Close the cover of the ramps ‘storage and back the extension out to the ground
4) Open the cover of the ramps ‘ storage and lower the support of the flashing light
5) Put the alu ramps on the extension
2.9.6 Hydraulically detachable gooseneck
In case of low beds (MAX 500), a hydraulically detachable gooseneck can be fitted. Raising the
gooseneck allows for lighter loads of construction machines or track laying vehicles thanks to
front loading and to higher ground clearance for use in the construction industry (operational
diagram on next page).
Picture 1: normal position
Both hydraulic cylinders transmit the axle load.
They are provided with load supporting valves and

are secured. That means that fixing is not necessary.
Picture 2: removing the gooseneck
• Remove the security axles (B)

• Remove all connexions between gooseneck
and platform.
• Lower the gooseneck till the loading
platform is on the ground and till the
hooking axles ( C ) are freed from the hooks
( D)
• Let the jacks out till the gooseneck is
supporting on the truck.
Picture 3:
The gooseneck is uncoupled from the loading
platform and is supported through the jacks (E) by
the truck.
Picture 4:
Gooseneck lifted – hydraulic cylinder (A) extended.
Use this position only if driving straight away.
The lowbed may only be lifted +- 400 mm from the
middle position.
Picture 5: uncoupling
Lower the gooseneck on the ground and the truck is
unloaded.
After the uncoupling of the truck, the security axles
(B) maintain the position of the gooseneck.
The jacks (E) must be let out on the horizontal Surface of the truck and never on the
slanting part.
Proceed as follows to detach the gooseneck:
1. Tractor and semi-trailer are to be parked straight on level ground.
2. Remove safety bolts from the low bed’s locating hook.
3. Switch on hydraulic supply.
4. Lower the gooseneck using the operating lever and push buttons (in case of an
electro hydraulic unit) or switch on the lights (in case of a tractor hydraulic
system) until the front of the low bed is lying on the ground. In case of soft
terrain, use extra-large material as an underlay.
5. Continue to lower the gooseneck until its attachment spigots are disengaged
from the low bed’s locating hook.
6. Pull out the tractor’s supporting blocks using the 2 operating levers and the push
buttons or switch on the lights until a gap appears between the gooseneck and
the low bed. The supports’ two operating levers must be operated
simultaneously, but can be slightly asynchronous during the coupling operation
in order to compensate for one-sided lowering of the low bed after loading.
7. Remove all the connections between gooseneck and lowbed.
To avoid problems with the EBS system, please unplug first the 7 pole EBS plug,
after it, the 3 pole plug (sensor).
8. Drive the tractor and detached gooseneck forward.
Proceed as follows to connect the gooseneck:
1. Drive the tractor and the detached gooseneck up to the low bed until the
gooseneck’s attachment spigots are located under the low bed’s locating hooks;
2. Retract the supporting block;
3. Raise the gooseneck until the attachment spigots engage with the coupling hook
and continue to raise until the ride position has been reached, i.e. the low bed
is parallel with the ground;
4. Insert the safety bolt into the low bed’s locating hook;
5. Replace all the connections between gooseneck and lowbed.
To avoid problems with the EBS system, plug first of all the 3 pole plug (sensor),
after it the 7 pole EBS plug.
If the gooseneck inclines because of a wrong working of the gooseneck cylinders,

please raise the lowbed till the stop with the semi-trailer coupled. Continue to
activate the raising function. After a short time the maximum pressure is reached.
Activate the raising function 10 till 20 seconds further, to reach a secure
compensation.
3. Maintenance
Regular and appropriate maintenance helps to ensure that your vehicle is operational, safe
and prevents early wear and tear. A correct maintenance is condition for potential
interventions under warranty.
3.1 General Maintenance
3.1.1 The vehicle is new
After the initial 50 km, wheel nuts must be tightened. The tightening torque for bolt alignment
is 510 Nm and 630 Nm for spigot alignment.
After 100 km, inspect wheel nuts again.
3.1.2 Daily visual inspection:
➢ Check lighting system.
➢ Check tyre pressure: (when cold): 9.00 till 9.50 bar.
➢ Check the brake system.
➢ Bleed all air tanks (N/A in the case of truck with drier, but this ought also to be
checked frequently).
3.1.3 After the initial 500 – 1000 km

Toping up the oil tank
➢ Open tank.
➢ Top up to indicated level, using oil of HVI 32 ISO quality.
➢ Replace original stopper on tank.
N.B.:
All the hydraulics are filled with normal hydraulic oil that thickens by temperatures
under - 25°C .
If you have to drive the vehicle by extreme low temperatures, we advise you to use an
appropriate oil that doesn’t thicken by coldness.
It is absolutely useful to empty all the system correctly before filling with the other oil.
Notice that you probably will have to change it again in springtime.
3.3 Cleaning the vehicle
The regular cleaning of the vehicle is a precondition for proper maintenance and facilitates
operation of the stop valves and/or operating parts.
! ! ! When cleaning the vehicle with a steam jet cleaner, please pay attention to the
following:
➢ Do not clean any electrical parts (plugs, sockets, distributor,...) with a steam jet
cleaner.
➢ Do not clean any chromium-plated piston rods.
➢ Do not direct jet directly on bearings or grease nipples.
➢ During the first 3 months only use cold water with a maximum pressure of 40 and 60
bar and with a distance of 50 cm of the frame. This sticker is on the trailer to
remember you.
Max Trailer will not accept liability for any damage caused due to non-observance
of the above-mentioned points.
3.4 Cleaning and Maintenance of PPG Paint films
When you have a vehicle painted with a PPG paint system, you can be sure that the quality of
the paint film is excellent and fit for purpose.
Turbo Plus EHS from Nexa Autocolor is a two component acrylic polyurethane paint system.
After it is completely cured, it gives excellent chemical resistance. Note: Commercial washes,
high pressure washes, and use of strong detergents, should not be used during the first 30
days after application of the paint film.
To keep the paint film and bodywork in a good condition it is necessary to regularly clean the
paintwork. The use of aqueous detergents for this cleaning is possible. Any deposits of road
tar should be removed with a soap solution.
Automatic cleaning machines can be used, but attention must be paid to the detergent
solutions used. The cleaning solutions for these machines can be strongly concentrated in the
dilution of 500 : 1. The pH value of these solutions should not exceed 8 or 9, and clean water
must be used for a very thorough final rinse.
High pressure cleaning can be carried out as long as the temperature is maintained below
50°C. The lance must be used at a minimum of 60 cm from the paint surface (180 bars
maximum).
Always carry out cleaning processes in a shaded area, never in direct sunlight.
To prevent corrosion problems, any stone chips / damage must be rapidly repaired with the
correct Nexa Autocolor paint system: Use the P498 Turbo Plus EHS mixed with hardener 3:2,
without thinner and apply a small quantity to a chipped area using a brush.
Larger areas of damage, should be sanded and repaired using the correct Nexa Autocolor
paint system, including primer and topcoat.
CLEANING OF VEHICLES
The table below lists the different types of dirt and the recommended methods of removal.
Read carefully the recommendations supplied with the different cleaning agents and ensure
that they are used correctly. Do not use any abrasive products. Rinse carefully with clean
water, before use of any detergents and always thoroughly rinse after using detergent
cleaners.

SOAPS AND DETERGENTS

The molecules of soap possess a hydrophilic nature (soluble in water) and also a hydrophobic
nature (soluble in greases).
They are capable of mixing with some greases which are not soluble in water and dispersing
these greases in an emulsion solution.
Also they reduce the surface tension of insoluble particles allowing them to be removed more
easily from a paint surface.
ACIDS, ALKALINES AND THE PH SCALE

The pH scale is a numeric graduation going from 0 to 14.
The neutral aqueous solutions have a pH of 7, Acids have a pH < 7, and Alkalis have a pH > 7.
The graduation is logarithmic, and one unit of pH has a factor equivalent to 10 in the
concentration of acids or alkalis.
