Technical description
5. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
5.1 Kingpin (G_1001T)

In the usual way, the semi trailer (the towed vehicle) is connected at the tractor (the towing vehicle) by locking the
kingpin of the semi trailer in the fifth wheel coupling on the tractor chassis.
This coupling device provides the following functions:

1) The vertical load of the trailer front is transmitted on the
tractor. (This is the fifth wheel load). However, it is
ensured due to the shape of the kingpin, that the trailer
can lift the tractor without being separated.
2) The horizontal forces are transmitted from tractor to
trailer. (acceleration- and brake forces, forces when
cornering).
3) Offer freedom of movements at the tractor in at least 2
directions. (rotation movement during cornering, tilting
movement lengthwise to overcome unevenness without
large axle load changes).
In special cases it may occur that freedom of movement in 3
directions is desired; then the fifth wheel is carried out with an
extra longitudinal hinge axis, giving free tilt of the tractor in
cross direction.
These fifth wheels are called double-oscillating.
Figure 5-1: Kingpin and fifth wheel.
The semi trailer part of the coupling device consists of the fifth wheel plate, which transmits
the vertical load and the kingpin, which mainly transmits the horizontal forces.
There are different strength classes of fifth wheel plates, each with their own version of kingpin connection (8-10-
12-16mm thickness).
Also 2 kingpin types exists: 2 inch (50,8 mm diameter) and 3,5 inch (88,9 mm diameter).
Applied by Nooteboom are the following fifth wheel plates and kingpins: See Figure 5-2.

5.2 Bulk head
5.2.1 Introduction
The bulk head and its dimensions are shown in the diagram of the trailer in the final section of the manual.
☞
Advice!
To prevent causing damage to the bulk head by improper use, we advise everyone using the
trailer to carefully read the instructions in the user’s manual.
5.2.2 Structure of the bulk head

The bulk head is designed to transfer part of the weight of the trailer’s load to the tractor.
The bulk head is the front part of the trailer. This part rests on the coupling section of the trailer. The bulk
head is equipped with the uppermost part of the coupling section: the coupling plate. The coupling pin is
also part of this coupling section. This is described in the paragraph ‘Kingpin’.
To transfer the angle of rotation of the tractor to the steering system of the trailer, a steering wedge is fitted in
the coupling section. The steering wedge is described in the paragraph ‘Steering wedge’.
5.3 Steering wedge
5.3.1 General
The coupling plate of the trailer is fitted with a steering wedge, see Figure 5-3. By means of this wedge, the
angular displacement of the tractor is transmitted to the steering system of the trailer. The steering wedge of
the trailer is finely tuned. The steering wedge must be fitted accurately in the recess in the trailer
The steering wedge meets the DIN 74085 norm.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -15-
Figure 5-3: Steering wedge
5.4 Air suspension
5.4.1 Construction
The axles are equipped with air suspension. Construction of the axle with air suspension is as follows, see
Figure 5-4:
The axle is attached to the chassis by means of a rigid parabolic spring (4). An air bag (1) is fitted on the
parabolic spring; between the parabolic spring and the chassis.
The rounded ends of both spring leaves are fixed to the leaf spring bracket (3).
The shock absorber (5) is fitted between the leaf spring bracket and the parabolic spring by means of a clamp
plate on the spring.
Figure 5-4: Spring system - air suspension
5.4.2 Operation
Operation of the spring suspension is achieved by compressing the air in the air bags. Through deflection of
the parabolic springs a small amount of suspension is also absorbed in the system.
The parabolic springs steer the axles and give the vehicle excellent stability.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -16-
The air bags are connected via lines and hoses. This ensures the pressure in all airbags is the same and as a
result full compensation of the axle loads is achieved.
5.4.3 Adjusting the ride height

In order for the system to operate properly, it is important that the air cylinders are in the cental position
when the trailer is loaded. This needs to be checked regularly. The central position corresponds with the ride
height. To check the ride height the distance between the bottom of the suspension and the centre of the axle
must be measured.
5.5 Pneumatic lifting axles
5.5.1 Pneumatic lifting axles general

The purpose of the pneumatic lifting axle is to raise (lift) one single axle independent of the rest of the
suspension system.
Only use the axle lift in the following circumstances:

• wheel change.
• to prevent tyre wear (only when driving unloaded).
5.5.2 Operation
Lifting the axle
By inflating the bellows, the pressure increases and the bellows will expand. The airbag is deflated
simultaneously. The expansion of the bellows causes the airbag to contract and the parabolic spring and axle
will lift.
Lowering the axle

Deflating the bellows causes it to contract. The pressure increases and the bellows will expand. The airbag is
inflated simultaneously, causing it to expand. The parabolic spring and axle will drop.
The lifting axle system is fitted with a control valve which will automatically lower the lifted axle when the
pressure in the suspension system reaches a set level. This prevents overloading of the axle assembly.
5.6 Raising/lowering load floor

The height of the load floor can be adjusted by means of a raise/lower lever. For operation the air pressure in
the suspension system must be at least 6,5 bar.
The raise/lower lever is depicted in Figure 5-5.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -17-
Positions of the raise/lower lever are as follows:

1: Load floor in highest position;
2: stops raising/lowering in all positions;
3: Normal ride height of load floor;
4: stops raising/lowering in all positions;
5: Load floor in lowest position.
Figure 5-5; Raise/lower lever

positions
☞ At normal ride height the lever is in position 3.
5.7 Air-pressure gauge - axle weight

The trailer’s suspension system is equipped with an air-pressure gauge which can be used to measure the
pressure in the suspension system. This presssure is a measure of the weight on the trailer’s axle assembly.
The air-pressure gauge is marked with a pictogram as shown below:
Figure 5-6: Pictogram axle weight air-pressure gauge
The axle weights can be determined by consulting the 'Axle weight diagram' (see ‘Determine axle weights')
or ‘Plan- and part list numbers’.
5.8 Hydraulic steering
5.8.1 General
The axles of your trailer are steered hydraulically. In the description of the steering system further operational
details are given.
If the trailer still follows the tractor to the left or right after a corner has been negotiated, the system must be
bled.
After e.g. repairs have been carried out, the system will also need to be replenished and subsequently bled.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -18-
Warning!
If the red control light on the bulkhead stays on, contact the helpdesk After Sales of
Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V. as soon as possible.
Warning!
The pressure in a hydraulic system can be extremely high. Even the slightest damage can be
extremely dangerous. It is essential to handle these systems with great care and to replace
damaged lines at once.
Warning!
When using an external filling system, the filling pressure should never exceed 20 bar.
☞
Advice!
Hydraulic oil is harmful to the environment.
Use protective measures when working with hydraulic oil.
Take care not to spill any hydraulic oil.
5.9 Normal steering
5.9.1 General
The trailer is equipped with command hydraulic turntable steering which ensures that the axles are given the
correct steering wheel displacement.
The angle between tractor and trailer determines the steering wheel displacement.
5.9.2 Operation
Two hydraulic cylinders, mechanically connected to the fifth wheel, are fitted in the bulk head.
The king pin plate is equipped with a steering wedge that fits into a recess on the fifth wheel. When the tractor
turns in relation to the trailer, the fifth wheel moves accordingly, thus steering the cylinders in and outwards.
Two more cylinders are fitted in the load surface. These are connected in pairs, by means of steel cables and
hoses, to the bulk head cylinders.
The cylinders in the load surface transmit the steering commands of the bulk head cylinders to the turntable of
the second axle (front axle when twin axle). This axle steers the other axles by means of steering rods.
Four hydraulical cylinders, connected in pairs are used to obtain two hydraulic circuits that operate
independently from each other. Each one of these circuits are able to steer the trailer independently and as a
result the trailer will remain steerable should one of the circuits cease to function.
If the red control light on the bulkhead stays on, it means the pressure in the hydraulic circuit is falling, or too
low. This can be rectified by adjusting the pressure in the hydraulic circuit, see paragraph ‘Checking the steering’.
Warning!
If the red control light on the coupling head stays on, it means there is a malfunction in the
hydraulic circuit.
Contact the Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V. After Sales helpdesk as soon as possible.
Warning!
! When one of the hydraulic circuits ceases to function, the trailer may pull to one side in
relation to the tractor.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -19-
5.9.3 Ball joint lever box - normal steering

In the ball joint lever box of the hydraulic steering section there are four ball joint levers. The box is depicted in
Figure 5-7.
Figure 5-7: Ball joint lever box

1. Position 'Closed'
2. Position 'Open'
The hydraulic steering system has its own oil reservoir.
The four small levers are aligned vertically.

The function of these steering system levers is explained in the ‘Operation’ section.
☞
Advice!
The four ball joint levers are in the ‘closed’ position when the handles are parallel to the
conduit pipe.
The door of the box can only be shut when the four levers are in the closed position and the handles are parallel
to the conduit pipe. When using normal steering, which is standard, the levers should be closed.
5.10 Manual operation
5.10.1 General
To enhance the manoeuvrability of the trailer, the axle can also be operated manually by means of a manual
control system.
Manual operation will partly or totally replace the function of the two hydraulic steering cylinders fitted on the
bulkhead.
Manual operation can be used in two ways:

• Assisting in steering the axles.
In this case the axles not only respond to manual steering but also to normal steering via the angular
displacement between tractor and trailer.
Normal steering of the axles remains operative, the driver ‘assists’ the steering manually.
• Steering the axles independent of the tractor.
The axles are steered manually only, the normal steering is not operative.
The manual steering operates in conjunction with the ASA system.

XMR0VB000D0000196 -20-
ASA stands for Automatic Straight Alignment (of the vehicle combination).
There are 3 options, depending on your tractor and trailer:

• The trailer is equipped with an electric-hydraulic pump.
• The trailer is equipped with a Powerpack.
• The trailer is connected to the PTO of the tractor.
5.10.2 Safety
Warning!
Manual operation should only take place at speeds of up to 15 km/hour. Therefore the manual
steering system is equipped with a safety system.
This safety system operates as follows:

• At speeds of over 20 km/hour the manual operation panel is switched off.
• At speeds of 15 - 20 km/hour an accoustic warning signal sounds, warning the driver that manual
operation will be disengaged should he increase the speed.
Warning!
1) If the red control light on the bulkhead stays on, there is a malfunction in one of the
hydraulic circuits.
2) If the red control light on the bulkhead blinks, the system electronics is not receiving any
speed signals.
Check that the ABS has been connected correctly!
3) Should malfunctions 1 and 2 occur simultaneously, the red control light on the bulkhead
will consecutively stay on and blink.
In case 1 and 3 contact the helpdesk After Sales of Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V. as soon as
possible.
Warning!
5.10.3 Ball joint lever box – manual steering

In the ball joint lever box of the hydraulic steering section there are 2 electrically operated control valves (4) as
well as the 4 levers (2) previously mentioned. The ball joint lever box is depicted in Figure 5-8.

XMR0VB000D0000196 -21-
The function of the two large control valves (4) is to control the manual steering.
Steering of the axles is carried out by means of push buttons on the manual operation panel, which is supplied
separately.
The door of the ball joint lever box can only be shut when the four small levers (2) are closed, the levers will be
in parallel with the cable.
☞
Advice!
When using normal steering, you should be able to shut the door of the ball joint lever box.
5.10.4 Manual control panel

The trailer can be steered manually. To this end a separate manual control panel is supplied. This panel is
depicted in Figure 5-9.
1. On/off switch
2. Light: Will be on when manual steering is
switched on
3. Button to steer left
4. Button to steer right
5. Button for automatic alignment
6. Light: Is on during the alignment procedure.
Goes off when correctly aligned.
Figure 5-9: Manual control panel
The control panel must be connected to the trailer. For this purpose a plug box has been fitted on the front and
rear of the trailer where the control panel’s connection cable can be plugged in.
As an option a White-cable with screw ring and a 7-core coiled cable can be supplied. This enables the driver to
operate the manual control panel from the tractor cabin.
5.10.5 Radio-controlled manual steering

The semi-trailer can be controlled by radio-controlled manual steering. For this purpose a special separate
handset and receiver are supplied. In Figure 5-10 the transmitter is depicted.

5.11 Emergency operation manual steering

The semi-trailer’s manual steering works with electronics and responds to the speed signal of the ABS/EBS system.
If the manual steering should fail as a result of a malfunction in the electronic system or the ABS/EBS system, the
manual steering can be operated manually by means of a provisional 'Emergency Operation' procedure.
Warning!
! If the manual steering function fails, one of the authorised Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V.
service points should be contacted as soon as possible.
Warning!
! Using the ‘Emergency Operation’ procedure is only a temporary solution.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -23-
In order to control the Emergency Operation, the manual steering

magnetic valve is equipped with two exterior manual controls, see (2)
Figure 5-12. 1
Before using Emergency Operation, the feed pump of the hydraulic
system must be switched on. The electronic pump is switched on by
operating a push button in the ball joint valve box, see (1) Figure 5-12.
If the hydraulic system is fed by an alternative external source, the push
button will be put out of action. 3
On semi-trailers with manual steering and hydraulic functions at the rear
of the vehicle, a selector valve is fitted behind the ball valve box, see (3)
Figure 5-12. In some cases it will be necessary to operate this selector 2
valve when ‘Emergency Operation’ is being used.
Figure 5-12: Emergency

Operation manual steering
5.12 Electronically controlled brake system (MP5501T)

The trailer is equipped with an electronically controlled brake system. The basic principle of the brake system is to
convert air pressure into movement of the mechanical components. The brake shoe will consequently brake the
brake drum.
The main components of the brake system are:

• EBS-modulator(s).
* Load-sensing brake-pressure regulator.
* ABS.
* Roll-over Stability Support (RSS).
* Safety feature.
• Brake and spring brake cylinders.
• Release valves for the continuous brake and the parking brake.
The complete structure of the brake system, as well as parts and setting values, are described in a brake diagram.
5.12.1 EBS
The trailer is fitted with an electronically controlled brake system, EBS. The system will electronically adjust the
brake pressures for each side independently. The main component of EBS is the EBS modulator, see Figure 5-13.
The required deceleration of the trailer is regulated by means of an electric command signal. The source of this
command signal depends on the type of truck:
• With all trucks the command pressure of the brake pedal is transmitted to an EBS brake valve which is
located in the front part of the trailer. An integrated pressure sensor sends an electric command signal to the
EBS modulator.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -24-
• With an EBS-truck the brake-electronics are communicating over the EBS spiral cable. The brake signal is also
sent to the EBS trailermodulator(s). Because of the quicker response time, the braking distance is shortened,
especially with an emergency stop.
EBS-D (old)
Figure 5-13: EBS-E modulator
5.12.2 Load-sensing brake-pressure regulator

The EBS modulator is equipped with a load-sensing brake-pressure regulator. This modulator adjusts the wheels’
brake pressure on to the trailer’s load. The pressure in the spring system is used to determine the weight of the
trailer’s load. The pressure is measured by means of a pressure sensor in the spring system.
When depressing the brake pedal, a pressure command is sent to the EBS modulator. With a lighter load, the
pressure in the brake cylinder will be significantly lower than at high loads. This prevents the wheels from locking
when carrying a lighter load.
Warning!
If the ABS-spiral cable ISO 7638 is not connected, the ALR function of the trailer won’t be
operational.
5.12.3 ABS
The EBS modulator is also equipped with ABS which ensures the stability and steerability of the trailer when
braking is safeguarded. In order to achieve this, a number of ABS sensors determines and regulates the wheel
speed by means of the EBS modulator. The system will automatically become operative as soon as one of the
wheels threatens to lock.
Warning!
If the ABS-spiral cable ISO 7638 is not connected, the ABS function of the trailer won’t be
operational.
5.12.4 Roll-over Stability Support

The brake system has a Roll-over Stability Support (RSS) function. This function checks the roll-stability of the
trailer. As soon as the measured value surpasses the set limit, the EBS modulator activates the brakes. This slows
down the vehicle combination and reduces the roll-instability.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -25-
Warning!
The RSS-function only supports the driver. RSS has not been developed to increase the limits of
driving behaviour. The driver remains responsible for his own driving behaviour.
5.12.5 Safety feature

In case of a faulty of failing EBS, the trailer can still be braked pneumatically. The integrated ALB and ABS functions
will not be operative. Braking will be as at full load.
Warning!
The ABS-spiral cable ISO 7638 between truck and trailer must be connected at all times!
Check this!!
Warning!
If the EBS fails, please contact a Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V. approved service point as soon as
possible.
It is not possible to adjust the EBS without experience!!
5.12.6 The spring brake cylinder (MP5101T)

The trailer is equipped with several spring brake cylinders. These are cylinders that besides normal air pressure
operation can also be activated by spring pressure which will come into action when:
• pressure in the spring brake circuit falls below a certain value, or
• the control knob underneath the floor is put in the 'parking brake engaged' position.
This means that the brakes will always be actuated when there is no pressure in the pneumatic system of the
trailer. The brake cylinders must be released mechanically if the trailer is to be moved without sufficient pressure
in the system.
Warning!
! Releasing the brake mechanism is only allowed when moving the trailer for a short distance, at
walking pace. We strongly advise against driving on a public highway!
5.12.7 Release valve brake system

When the supply line (red) between tractor and trailer is uncoupled, the trailer’s brakes will automatically be
actuated.
Warning!
The brake system can only function correctly when there is sufficient pressure in the brake system.
With the release valve the brakes can be released pneumatically. The release valve (black knob) is fitted on the
left, next to the quick release brake valve at the rear end of the gooseneck.
5.13 Parking brake (MP5210T)

Two of the trailer’s axles are equipped with spring brake cylinders that also function as a parking brake. The spring
brake cylinders are made of two parts:
• Brake cylinder: service brake
• Spring brake: parking brake
XMR0VB000D0000196 -26-
To put the parking brake on, a coupling cock must be operated, by means of a red control button which is located
on the left hand side of the trailer, in front of the axle assembly. By activating the park brake, all axles with sping
brake cylinders will braked.
The parking brake is, for example, used in the following situations:
• Parking the trailer.
• Coupling/uncoupling the trailer.
• Extending/shorten the trailer.
When operating the coupling cock, air escapes from the spring brake. The spring will press down on the brake and
the trailer’s parking brake will be actuated. By closing the coupling cock, the spring brake is pressurised and the
spring is pushed back. The trailer is no longer on parking brake.
Whenever there is loss of air pressure, the trailer’s parking brake is actuated automatically. This occurs as soon as
the pressure in the brake system drops to below 3,0 bar (or 4,9 bar at certain trailertypes). The spring will press
down on the brake. In this case the spring brake cylinder must be released manually. When the pressure recovers
to 4,9 bar, the spring brakes will be released again.
5.14 Kingpin (G_1001T)

In the usual way, the semi trailer (the towed vehicle) is connected at the tractor (the towing vehicle) by locking the
kingpin of the semi trailer in the fifth wheel coupling on the tractor chassis.
This coupling device provides the following functions:

4) The vertical load of the trailer front is transmitted on the
tractor. (This is the fifth wheel load). However, it is
ensured due to the shape of the kingpin, that the trailer
can lift the tractor without being separated.
5) The horizontal forces are transmitted from tractor to
trailer. (acceleration- and brake forces, forces when
cornering).
6) Offer freedom of movements at the tractor in at least 2
directions. (rotation movement during cornering, tilting
movement lengthwise to overcome unevenness without
large axle load changes).
In special cases it may occur that freedom of movement in 3
directions is desired; then the fifth wheel is carried out with an
extra longitudinal hinge axis, giving free tilt of the tractor in
cross direction.
These fifth wheels are called double-oscillating.
Figure 5-14: Kingpin and fifth wheel.
The semi trailer part of the coupling device consists of the fifth wheel plate, which transmits
the vertical load and the kingpin, which mainly transmits the horizontal forces.
There are different strength classes of fifth wheel plates, each with their own version of kingpin connection (8-10-
12-16mm thickness).
Also 2 kingpin types exists: 2 inch (50,8 mm diameter) and 3,5 inch (88,9 mm diameter).
Applied by Nooteboom are the following fifth wheel plates and kingpins: See Figure 5-2.

! Never drive off with the White cable still connected. If the cable breaks it could cause a short
circuit.
Powerpack
1) Switch off the Powerpack.
PTO
1) Switch off the PTO.
2) Remove the pneumatic and return lines between tractor and trailer.
7.2 Coupling/uncoupling the trailer (m01701B)
7.2.1 Coupling
When coupling the trailer it must be supported by the landing legs.
Warning!
When coupling the trailer, no-one but the driver should be in the vicinity of the trailer.
The following actions must be carried out:

1) Position the trailer to be more or less level with the fifth wheel of the tractor.
2) Ensure the steering wedge is straight in relation to the fifth wheel.
3) Drive the tractor under the trailer so that the king pin and the steering wedge slide into the fifth wheel of the
tractor.
4) When the king pin is completely inserted in the fifth wheel, the fifth wheel will automatically lock. The
coupling is secured by means of lever safety pin.
5) Connect the brake air lines.
Tip!
☺ Take care that connecting takes place in the recommended following order:
1) supply air (red)
2) brake control (yellow)
3) electrics (ISO-N and S)
4) EBS connection plug
☞
Advice!
If the air pressure of the tractor is very low during connection of the supply line (red), the EBS
system of the trailer wil switch on the emergency-function. This results in hard and low-sensibly
braking. This may also occur when connecting in a different following order as described.
The solution is temporarily uncoupling the EBS plug. Switching-off and -on again of the main
contact in the tractor rectifies the malfunction too.
6) Connect the hydraulic hoses if any.

7) Connect the electrical cables; ISO-N en ISO-S, ABS/EBS, power-supply White connections.
8) Raise the landing legs into their ‘drive’ position.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -32-
7.2.2 Uncoupling
Before uncoupling the vehicle combination must be at a standstill, the trailer parking brake must be on.
Warning!
When uncoupling the trailer, no-one but the driver should be in the vicinity of the trailer.
The following actions must be carried out:

1) Lower the landing legs till they rest firmly on the ground, check they are properly secured.
2) Disconnect the hydraulic connections and stow the loose hoses.
3) Disconnect the air lines and stow the loose lines.
4) Disconnect the electrical connections and stow the loose cables.
5) Remove the fifth wheel security lock and release the lock lever.

7.14 Releasing the spring brake cylinder (MP5101B)
Warning!
! Releasing the spring brake cylinder is only permitted for the purpose of moving the vehicle, at
walking pace, over a small distance. We strongly advise against driving on public roads.
The spring brake cylinders are activated as soon as:

• the pressure in the air reservoirs of the spring brake circuit drops below a certain value, or
• when the activator-knob in front of the axle assembly is put in the “parking brake on” position.
The spring brake cylinder is released by unscrewing bolt A, see Figure 7-20. This flexes the spring and brake
actuation is suspended.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -55-
Warning!
! Don’t forget to screw bolt A back in the spring chamber or the parking brake won’t be operative.
Bolt A can easily be screwed back in when there is no pressure in the spring chamber.

Loading instructions
8. LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
8.1 Loading the trailer
8.1.1 General
When loading the trailer two kinds of loads should be identified;
• Self-supporting loads.
• Non-self-supporting loads.
A self-supporting load is a load of such rigidity that it only has to be supported on the given locations. An
example is a concrete bridge beam, supported on both ends.
A non-self-supporting load is a load requiring support along its total length, such as reinforced concrete.
The maximum load a trailer can carry depends on where the load is to be placed and the trailer’s
specification.
Warning!
! Take care that after loading the load is been secured. Therefore we refer to the following
standards:
• Dutch standard NEN-EN 12195-1.
• German standard VDI 2700.
☞
Royal Nooteboom Trailers B.V. has drawn up a loading advice scheme by means of one or
more loading schedules. The loading schedules are included in the Appendix of this manual.
8.1.2 Explanation loading advice

A diagram of the trailer is included in the loading schedule.
Warning!
! The load supports must always rest on a cross beam. Minimum dimension of the support is
100x20 cm.
☞ If the trailer is extendible, the various extending steps are outlined in a table.
☞
If the load floor of your trailer is extendible by means of separate inserts, there is a different
loading schedule for each combination.
The following information is depicted on the front of the trailer:

• Maximum coupling weight.
The maximum coupling weight is equal to the maximum load capacity of the front.
This is called ‘front loading-section’.
The following information is depicted at the rear of the trailer:

• sum of all maximum loads
• trailer’s own weight, in so far as it is supported by the axles.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -61-
The difference between the sum of the maximum axle loads and this part of the own weight equals the
maximum load capacity of the rear. This is called ‘rear loading-section’.
Warning!
The loading schedules indicate values for the trailer. There could be other restrictive factors,
such as:
• Statutory regulations.
• Regulations to the truck.
On the loading surface there is a sketch of a load with its centre of gravity at distance Z from the front edge of
the loading surface. This load is supported in two places.
Both supporting points are at a certain distance from the load’s centre of gravity. This distance greatly
influences the maximum allowed load capacity.
The graph shows the maximum load capacity at various distances from the centre of gravity. Should this
distance equal O, it means that the load is being supported exactly at the centre of gravity. In this situation
the maximum load capacity is clearly lower.
☞
In brief!
The maximum load weight on the load floor is directly related to the location of the load’s
centre of gravity, and the distance between the points where the load is being supported.
8.2 Load rating of the stakes

In this paragraph the load rating of the stakes is indicated. Here we distinguish between box-beam stakes
(81x51x5 mm) and solid round stakes (Ø45 mm).
There is also a distinction between a concentrated load and a distributed load:
• Concentrated load: The load engages with 1 point of the stake.
• Distributed load: The load engages all along the stake.
For the load capacity of the box-beam stakes the direction of application of the load is also relevant, being
either:
• across the trailer
• along the length of the trailer.
8.2.1 Load capacity box-beam stakes across the trailer

In Figure 8-1 is depicted how a concentrated load (Py) and a distributed load (Qy) across the trailer engage
with a stake.
Figure 8-1: Load stakes, across the trailer
The graph below shows a concentrated load and a distributed load across the trailer in relation to the length
of the stake (L).

9.5 Yearly inspection cable guide (B01401M)

A cable guide is fitted in the central beam. When extending the trailer, the cable guide adjusts the hose to the
length required. The cable guide must be inspected yearly. This inspection must be carried out as follows:
1) Fully retract the vehicle, see paragraph 'Retracting/extending the trailer'.
2) Remove the four (six at triple V) bolts (pos 4) of the rear cover, see Figure 9-1.
Figure 9-1: Bolt location
3) Remove the cover (pos 3).
XMR0VB000D0000196 -70-
4) Remove the French pin (pos 1) and the mounting pin (pos 2) of the cable guide conduit connection, see Figure
9-2. The cable guide conduit is now detached from the rear cover.
Figure 9-2: Cable guide connection V and double V
Cable guide connection triple V
5) Check the guide conduit, it should be firmly embedded in the telescopic beam.
6) Ensure that the first and final links of the cable guide are secured.
7) Check the cable guide for external damage.
8) Remove any dirt that may have accumulated in the beam.
9) Re-attach the cable guide to the rear cover and replace the Frech pin.
10) Fit the rear cover.
9.6 Aligning the mechanical part of the steering
9.6.1 Checking the alignment

Aligning the mechanical part of the steering must be carried out as follows. The mechanical part is located
underneath the load surface. The trailer is depicted, viewed from above, in Figure 9-3.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -71-

2) Check the brakes. Wheel brakes and hand brake must be
disengaged.
3) Make sure the trailer’s steering is in straight position. This
can be achieved by turning the tractor in relation to the
trailer, or by using manual steering (optional). The marking
on the turntable (2), which is connected to the hydraulic
cylinders, will indicate if the steering is in straight position.
4) Stretch a line on either side of the load floor, at the same
height as the centre of the axles. The lines should run
parallel to the load floor at distance (A). They should be
close to the tyres, but not touch them.
5) Position the axle connected to the hydraulic steering
cylinder at a right angle to the longitudinal axle of the
trailer. The C measurements must remain the same.
6) Measure the distance between line and tyre at each wheel
(B); take measurements on either side of the centre of the
axle.
7) The wheel must be re-aligned if the difference exceeds 2
mm.
Figure 9-3: Aligning the axles
9.7 Aligning fixed axle

Aligning a fixed axle is carried out as follows:
2) Position the load floor on ride-height, see paragraph “Adjusting the ride-height”.
3) Check the brakes, they must not be actuated. The hand brake must be off.
4) Position the trailer in a straight line. This can be done by advancing the tractor and trailer a few metres
(driving).
5) Stretch a line on either side of the load surface, at the height of the centre of the axles. These lines must
run parallel to the load surface and should not touch the wheels.
6) Measure the distance between line and tyre at each wheel; measure on either side of the wheel centre. If
the difference is more than 1 mm, the wheel must be re-aligned.
If the fixed axle is not straight this must be corrected by moving the axle in relation to the parabolic spring.
Between the spring and axle track, an alignment strip has been fitted which is welded to the leaf-spring seat.
This contains the spring centre bolt.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -72-
Adjust the alignment as follows:

1) Loosen the spring bolts of both leaf-spring seats.
2) Remove the welded seals which attach the alignment strip to the leaf-spring seat.
3) Move the axle so it is straight in relation to the parabolic spring.
4) Tighten the spring bolts.
5) Re-attach the alignment strip to the spring-leaf seat by welding.
9.8 Automatic slack adjuster BPW axles

BPW axles are equipped with automatick slack adjusters, as standard.
During maintenance the following must be carried out:
9.8.1 Visual check for damage

Visually check for the following:
• Worn or distorted slack adjuster.
• Missing or damaged cap.
• Other damage caused by outside influences, such as stone chipping.
If any damage is detected, the damaged components or the complete slack adjuster has to be replaced.
9.8.2 Greasing the slack adjuster

Lubrication must be carried out as follows, see Figure 9-4:
• Remove the cap (1).
• Clean the area around the nut.
• Remove the lock screw and screw in the grease nipple.
• Grease the slack adjuster, use BPW grease ECO-Li 91 ± 80
grammes, until sufficient new grease emerges near the
adjusting screw.
• Remove any surplus grease.
• Check the play and function of the slack adjuster; if necessary
pull the handle several times.
• If the slack adjuster is functioning correctly, lubricate once
more until the reservoir is filled with grease.
• Fit a new cap.
Figure 9-4: BPW slack adjuster
9.8.3 Lubrication interval

The slack adjuster must be lubricated:
• Whenever the brake lining is changed, or once every six months.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -73-
9.9 Ride height adjustment, air suspension
9.9.1 Checking and adjusting the ride height

To check the height, the distance X between the bottom of the suspension and the centre of the axle, must be
measured, see Figure 9-5. Check and adjust the height as follows:
1) Park the unloaded trailer on a level surface, preferably coupled to the tractor.
2) Ensure there is sufficient air pressure in the system; minimum 6.5 bar. To check the pressure, an air-
pressure gauge can be connected to the testing probe of the rearmost air reservoir, which is situated in
front of the axle assembly on the right-hand side.
3) Make sure the trailer’s brakes are released.
4) Measure height X: this measurement is specified in the table.
5) Adjust the height, see ‘Adjustment height control valve’:
☞
Advice!
After adjusting the ride height wait for a few minutes until the new ride height is reached.
Now measure distance X once more.

9.9.2 Adjustment height control valve

The axle assembly of the trailer has one single height control valve, see Figure 9-7.
Figure 9-7: Adjustment height control valve
The height of the axle assembly can be adjusted by means of this height control valve. This is carried out as
follows, see Figure 9-7:
1) Make sure the raise/lower lever of the load floor is in the ‘drive’ position.
2) Loosen the clamp (1) of the height control valve.
3) Set the height required (A):
• If the axle assembly should be higher, increase distance (A).
• If the axle assembly should be lower, reduce distance (A).
4) Tighten the clamp (1) again.
Warning!
! The length (L) is at its correct setting and must never be changed.
9.10 Bleeding air from hydraulic steering system

The hydraulic cylinders of the hydraulic system are equipped with air-bleed connections in locations that are
easy accessible.
Bleeding air is a straightforward procedure using an air-bleeder hose and quick-connect couplings, see Figure
9-8.
Figure 9-8: Bleeding
XMR0VB000D0000196 -75-

9.13.1 Replenishing oil reservoir hydraulic system

The oil is replenished as follows:
2) Check the oil level in the reservoir with a dipstick or spill plug.
3) If necessary replenish the oil via the filler opening at the top.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -78-
9.13.2 Bleeding hydraulic steering system with pump

The hydraulic steering system contains 4 independent circuits. Each circuit is allocated its own specific
colour. Each circuit must be bled separately.
☞
Please note!
In order to bleed the hydraulic circuits properly, the circuits must be bled in the following
colour sequence:
• Blue
• Yellow
• Red
• Green
Bleed the air from hydraulic circuits as follows, starting with the blue circuit:
1) Check that the ball valves are in 'Automatic steering’ position.
2) Plug in the manual control panel in the plug box on the trailer, either at the front or rear.
3) Remove the dust cover from the air-bleed connection of the hydraulic cylinder of the axles.
4) Connect the air-bleeder hose, see paragraph 'Bleeding air from hydraulic steering system’.
5) Switch on the power supply, see paragraph 'Switching on the power supply'.
6) Switch on the control panel with switch (1), see Figure 9-10.
• Check that control light (2) is on, see Figure 9-10.
* If control light (2) is not on, there is a malfunction.
1. On/off switch
2. Light: Is on if manual steering is switched on
3. Pushbutton for bleeding blue and yellow
circuits.
4. Pushbutton for bleeding red and green circuits.
Figure 9-10: Control panel
7) To bleed air, push button (3) or (4), see Figure 9-10.

• Push button (3) to bleed the blue or yellow hydraulic circuit.
• Push button (4) to bleed the red or green hydraulic circuit.
8) Keep button (3) or (4) pressed down until oil without air bubbles flows from the air-bleeder hose.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -79-
9) Switch off the control panel with switch (1), see Figure 9-10. Control light (2) goes out.
11) Disconnect the air-bleeder hose.
12) Replace the dust cover on the air-bleed connection of the hydraulic cylinder.
13) Remove the dust cover from the air-bleed connection with corresponding colour of the hydraulic
cylinder in the gooseneck.
14) Repeat step 4 to 12.
☞
Per circuit, always bleed the hydraulic cylinder underneath the axles first. Then remove the air-
bleeder hose and bleed the hydraulic cylinder in the gooseneck.
If this is not done in the right order, air could get into the system again because the hydraulic
cylinder in the gooseneck is positioned higher up.
15) Check the oil level in the oil reservoir after bleeding a circuit.
• If necessary, replenish the oil via the filler opening at the top.
16) Repeat step 3 to 15 for the other three hydraulic circuits.

17) Disconnect the control panel.
18) Prepare vehicle combination for operation.
9.14 Automatic lubrication (G_5801M)

The trailer is equipped with an automatic grease lubrication system. This avoids the need to manually grease the
components by means of grease nipples. Some of the components will never be connected to the automatic
system, either as the (very little) quantity of grease is hardly possible, or as the grease point is so difficult to
connect, that the chance for a break-down raises unacceptably.
Furthermore it is possible, that the customer has restricted the system to a part of the trailer (for example only the
axle bogie), so that grease points are left, which have to be greased manually.
Warning!
! Always switch on the illumination of the (semi) trailer!

The autolube systems with an electric controlled or electric driven pump only functions with
switched-on illumination. This concerns all 2-grease systems and the 0-grease systems with electric
pump-timer.
For planning and carrying out this maintenance job, see the procedures in the chapters “maintenance” and “grease
points”.
For the regular checking and testing of the automatic lubrication system and for replenishing the grease reservoir
we refer to the instruction manual of the supplier of the lubrication system.
A trailer may have more than 1 pump/reservoir. Almost sure
this is the case at a detachable gooseneck, a detachable
interdolly, a trailer with large extendibility; in those cases two
separate systems at front and rear are mounted.
The position of a pump/reservoir is appointed by a sticker (see
at right) near the pump.

9.15 Cleaning instructions for paint coating (G_6001M)

Avoid using harsh detergents to clean the paintwork.
Warning!
! Using harsh detergents can cause damage to the paint coating of the trailer. The risk is even
greater if the trailer is newly sprayed or if the paintwork has been damaged and repaired.
9.15.1 General recommendations

It is strongly recommended to soak the surfaces first to soften/loosen any dried up dirt so that it will be easier to
remove it from the paint coating. Only use non-abrasive, neutral to low-alkaline detergents. Never use dirty, hard
cloths, sponges or pads. Never use thinners or solvents, because they can harm the paint coating.
9.15.2 Cleaning products

For cleaning we recommend using:
• Clean tap water (maximum temperature 60°C)
• Clean tap water with a dose of concentrated cleaning solution as prescribed by the manufacturer.
• Clean tap water with the addition of basic salt for a raised PH until max. 9 (if required to speed up the cleaning
process and depending on the amount of dirt)
Persistent tar or asphalt can be removed from well-hardened (min. 3 months old) paint with a soft cloth,
moistened with turpentine or white spirit.
9.15.3 High pressure cleaning

When using a high pressure washer the temperature must not exceed 60°C. The maximum pressure is 80-100 Bar.
The distance between the nozzle and the surface to be cleaned must be at least 50cm. The spray angle should be
between 30 and 60 degrees.
N.B. Exceeding the temperature, pressure, distance or spray angle indicated may put too much pressure on the
paint coating and could damage it.
Recommendations
• Use cold water (12-15°C) during the first 3 months. If needed a low dose of a neutral cleaning product may be
added. Pressure 40-60 Bar
• After 3 months, warm water may be used with a small dose of a low-alkaline cleaning product. Temperature
40 – 60°C. Pressure 80-100 Bar.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -81-
Warning!
! When using a high pressure washer, see Figure 9-11, the following applies:
• The distance between the nozzle of the high pressure washer and the paint coating to be
cleaned must be at least 50 cm.
• The water jet must be kept moving over the area to be cleaned, so not directed at one single
point.
• The temperature of the water must not exceed 60 °C.

11.3 Emergency speed signal override manual steering (E04223B)
11.3.1 Speed signal for remote manual steering

The manual steering of this trailer can only be operated at speeds below 20 km/h; this prevents unsafe situations.
This safety device uses the speed signal from the EBS brake computer, connected by a CANBUS-Interface at the
PCB in the central steering box left under the gooseneck.
If no signal is received by this PCB, the manual steering does not function and the red light at the front left of the
gooseneck will flash.
Warning!
! If this occurs it is essential to consult the nearest service point, or to contract Nooteboom After
Sales for instructions!
11.3.2 Emergency control when missing speed signal for the manual steering.
If the malfunction of the manual steering is caused by missing the speed signal on the PCB (the red light at the
front left of the gooseneck flashes), than the emergency control may serve you to use the manual steering
temporarily, in order to finish the transport for instance.
XMR0VB000D0000196 -91-
The emergency control is to activate by pushing the button in the “C3-box” (Nooteboom part nr: 3513710).
Remove the cover of the box, whereupon the button is accessible. See the pictures below. The “C3-box” is
mounted against the inside of the central steering box under the gooseneck.
Pushing the button on the “C3-box” generates a speed signal, whereby the manual steering function again.
As soon as the trailer exceeds the 20 km/h limit, the “C3-box” automatically deactivates.
Also reducing the speed till below 20 km/h will not activate the C3-box. Only pushing the button again re-activates
the emergency control.
If the speed signal is missing at all (the EBS computer gives no speed signal) or if the emergency C3-box would
malfunction, than the manual emergency control in the central steering box under the gooseneck left is still a
possibility. See paragraph ‘Emergency operation manual steering”.
11.4 EBS brake system fuse changing in router/repeater (G_5401R)

The trailer has an electronic controlled EBS brake system. In trailers of big length (for instance extendible ones) the
system contains a router/repeater to amplify the signal.
In trailers with many axles a router/repeater is included to split the signal to more EBS computers.
A long trailer with many axles has therefor 2 ones.
When a fuse is defect (to be seen at diagnose; a warn light may light-up in the tractor’s cab), it will have to be
replaced.
The EBS modulator does not function if a fuse is defect: if connecting the EBS connection cable from tractor to
trailer the ticking noises of the self test of the EBS modulator are missing. This (re) connecting of the cable and
checking the ticking noises is something you could do underway if suspecting the EBS is not functioning at all.
To find the router/repeater, we show the cover

side: see Figure 11-2. Mostly the front one will be
in or behind the gooseneck. A possible rear one will
be in the neighbourhood of the axle bogie.
Figure 11-2: Router/repeater
A router/repeater contains 4 fuses:

2 pieces 5A (brown) Nooteboom part nr 3419363
2 pieces 15A (blue) Nooteboom part nr 3419361
To replace the fuses, act as follows:
XMR0VB000D0000196 -92-
- Mark the cover position before

demounting in order to mount the cover
afterwards in exact identical position.
- Unscrew the cover and replace the
defective fus(es).
- Place the cover on the right (marked)
position and tighten the screws alternating
across with the max. torque indicated on
the cover.
