Description
Drawbar trailers have a specific method to couple them with the towing vehicle (this could be a rigid lorry or a prime mover/tractor unit that has the correct coupling). The drawbar towing eye fits inside the jaws of the coupling unit and a pin drops through the eye. When you start the engine the ignition light should go out. If it doesn’t, you have an electrical fault. It is also a requirement for the manufacturer’s date code to be legible on all tyres fitted to LGV tractor units and trailers over 3.5 tonnes. A drawbar is a solid coupling between a hauling vehicle and its hauled load. Drawbars are in common use with rail transport, road trailers, both large and small, industrial and recreational, and with agricultural equipment. The first thing to do before uncoupling a trailer is to apply the parking brake. After leaving the cab, apply the trailer parking brake. Always park on a firm, level surface.
Workshop manuals are available for advice about the maintenance and repair of your vehicle. These are essential for anyone who intends to service or repair their own vehicle.
If you have been issued with protective clothing by your company for use while driving, it is your responsibility to wear it. If you notice a lump or bulge, a deep cut more than 25mm (1 inch) long, or exposed ply or cords, then the tyre is illegal to use on the road. You can see in this following video how much force a tyre on a heavy vehicle can explode with in a blowout. Overfilling your engine with oil could cause a loss of power. This is because moving engine parts could hit the oil. This can even damage the engine. Overfilling with oil can also cause excess pressure which can damage oil seals and cause leaks.
Energy-saving tyres can help save money as they have a reduced rolling resistance, increase fuel efficiency and increase grip. The increased grip means you don’t have to brake as much for corners. The reduced rolling resistance means that the engine doesn’t have to work as hard to get the vehicle moving, or keep it moving.vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][ms-protect-content id=”1895,1478″][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”76108″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] OVERVIEW The drawbar should not be confused with the fifth wheel coupling. The drawbar requires a trailer which either loads the drawbar lightly (for example a small boat trailer, or caravan, or the load is the weight of the coupling components only (larger trailers, usually but not always with a steerable hauled axle, front or rear). By contrast, the fifth wheel is designed to transmit a proportion of the load's weight to the hauling vehicle. Drawbar configuration is mostly seen on hydraulic modular trailer and ballast tractor combination to haul oversize loads which require special trailer and tractor. A high-pressure fuel injector delivers fuel into the cylinders. Most diesel engines use a high-pressure fuel injector system which will deliver pressurised fuel directly into the cylinders of the engine. This system is known as a direct injection engine. If you detect a leak in your air braking system, leave the vehicle parked and find someone to fix it. Don’t drive it until it’s fixed otherwise you could end up with no brakes. Gearbox If you are driving a vehicle with a two-speed axle, this doubles the number of gears. An electrical switch actuates a mechanism in the rear axle which doubles the choice of gear ratios, which can significantly improve the performance of a heavily laden vehicle.
It is also a requirement for the manufacturer’s date code to be legible on all tyres fitted to LGV tractor units and trailers over 3.5 tonnes. Aggressive reversing can break or bend the funnel which directs the towing eye into the jaw. In this case, the drawbar height was too low and the approach speed too fast. The funnel couldn’t direct the drawbar into the jaw, instead breaking through the funnel.

The direction of haulage may be push or pull, though pushing tends to be for a pair of ballast tractors working together, one pulling and the other pushing an exceptional load on a specialist trailer. The most common drawbar configuration for heavy vehicles is an A-frame drawbar at the front of a full trailer that connects to a tow coupling on a hauling vehicle [1] If you notice your headlights not working, even if it’s daytime, get them fixed before setting off. If you are driving along and notice that tread is coming away from one of your tyres (i.e. your tyre is delaminating), you must stop and change it. Different sized wheels If you see this warning light then you have a problem with your oil pressure. Continuing to drive with this light on could cause your engine to seize. If there’s not enough oil pressure the engine components won’t be lubricated. They will overheat and eventually will seize. Agricultural equipment is hauled by a tractor-mounted drawbar. Specialist agricultural tools such as ploughs are attached to specialist drawbars which have functions in addition to transmitting tractive force. This was partly made redundant with Ferguson's development of the three-point linkage in his famous TE20.
Consistent high speeds for long distances on motorways can cause your tyres to overheat and disintegrate. This is more likely to be the case if they are under-inflated because this creates more rolling resistance that is dissipated in the form of heat. Options for 1-2 working day delivery and next day timed services available on most items Zone B Surcharge Areas The oil filter collects sediment from the oil. This sediment comprises tiny metal fragments from the engine. The oil filter will usually be replaced at service intervals and this reduces friction. Fuel Reversing too fast into the jaws can squash the towing eye meaning the pin won’t drop through. Reverse slowly until the trailer is coupled. Older vehicles require double-declutching to change gear. On new vehicles with synchromesh gearboxes, double-declutching increases clutch wear and wastes fuel. Protective clothingDamage can be caused by clumsy or aggressive coupling techniques, manoeuvring outside of the range of the coupling, and poor maintenance and care of the parts. Cables and air lines The purpose of a pre-heating device is to heat the engine in cold weather. They heat the glow plugs in the cylinders. The starter should only be operated when the indicator light goes out.
