Troubleshooting
Jockey wheel is difficult to move up or down.
Ensure the clamp bolts are not over-tightened, restricting the jockey wheel tube's movement. Check for any obstructions. Clean the tube and clamp interior.
Clamp does not fit securely.
Verify that your trailer's drawbar tube is 48mm in diameter. Check if the clamp mounting holes align with your trailer's chassis mounting points.
Tyres appear flat or lose air.
Inspect tyres for punctures. Inflate to the recommended pressure if slightly deflated. If persistent leakage occurs, the inner tube may need repair or replacement.
Jockey wheel wobbles during use.
Ensure all clamp bolts are securely tightened. Check that the jockey wheel tube is fully inserted and locked in place. Inspect the wheel bearings for damage.
