Troubleshooting

Jockey wheel is difficult to wind.

Check for debris or obstructions around the winding mechanism. Ensure the jockey wheel is perpendicular to the ground. Apply a light lubricant to the moving parts.

Wobbly or unstable when extended.

Ensure the jockey wheel clamp is securely tightened to the trailer chassis. Verify that the load does not exceed the 150KG maximum capacity. Check that the trailer is on a stable, level surface.

Tyre appears worn or damaged.

Inspect the rubber tyre for significant wear or cuts. Replacement tyres may be available; consult the manufacturer for options.

Corrosion on the metal parts.

Clean the affected area with a soft brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a thin coat of appropriate metal protection. Ensure the jockey wheel is stored in a dry environment when not in use.
