JACKS LEVER CONTROLS CHECK

Isolate the Trailer with the related Isolation Point switch.

1) While moving the jacks lever controls, in backwards or forwards directions, it should be possible to hear a
noise (as a “click”): this click sound indicated the Microswitch (Figure 3) activation. If yes, go straight to the
next paragraph.

2) In case any sound can’t be heard, check if the rear side of the jacks lever controls box the position of levers
and flaps is as in Figure 1.

 Figure 1 – Lever controls and related flaps in “rest” position

Moving any jack level control, you should see a behavior as shown in Figure 2;

Figure 2 - Lever controls and related flaps in “working” position

Probabilmente muovendo la leva nella direzione per abbassare il pistone (quella che non funziona) le linguette non
si muovono a sufficienza per consentire l’attivazione del micro switch (blocchetto nero evidenziato in figura)

Probably, moving the lever in the lowering direction (the one is not working), the flaps don’t have move enough to
activate the Microswitch (highlighted in red in )
 Figure 3 - Microswitch

A quick solution is to try to rise the flaps with a screwdriver, in order to allow Microswitch activation. If in this way,
it’s possible to activate the Microswitch, then supply the Trailer and lower the hydraulic jacks maintaining the flaps
raised with the screwdriver.

If the flap - related to the lever that is moved – is risen but it’s not able to rise all the other flaps, the screw fixing
the flap to the pivot may be loosen. In this case, try to tight the screw on the pivot and check if all flaps are risen in
the same moment.

HYDRAULIC PUMP SUPPLYING CHECK
Locate the blue carter on the bottom side of the trailer: this carter protect the Hydraulic Pump and its Power
Relay.

Figure 5 – Hydraulic Pump position

Remove the blue carter loosing the bolt with a spanner.

Figure 6 – Hydraulic Pump carter

Locate the Power Relay on a side of the Hydraulic Pump.

 Figure 7 – Hydraulic Pump and related relay

Turn ON the battery cut-off.

With a multimeter, read the voltage between the poles (as in Figure 8):

A. It’s the pole where following wire are plugged together:

- a wire coming from the battery cut-off is plugged together

- a wire coming from the Microswitch (in the image Figure 8, a blue wire);

B. It’s the pole where another brown wire coming from the Microswitch is plugged to.

Figure 8

Multimeter readings:

 without moving any jacks lever controls, the multimeter should read 12 Vdc;

 moving the control pistons backwards and forwards, the multimeter should read 0 Vdc;

If the multimeter always reads 0 Vdc, there may be a problem with the relay or with the hydraulic pump.
The Hydraulic Pump supplying can be verified reading the voltage between the (B) pole and the pole where the
wire coming from the relay to the motor is plugged to (wire color can be blue).

Move one of the jacks lever controls and check multimeter readings:

 if the multimeter read 7 – 9 Vdc, this means that the motor is supplied

 If there is no voltage, the faulty item is the relay or the hydraulic pump.
