K-Ryole User Guide

The “K-Ryole User guide” is a general description of the trailer : You will find explanations and videos that describe important features about the trailer.

In this section, we describe many parts of the K-Ryole. This section is the reference when this document mentions them.

Each trailer is labeled with a number. it is used to identify the trailer.

A K-Ryole trailer is always delivered with 2 identical RFID cards. They are used to activate or deactivate the main parking brake.
It is also used to lock or unlock the K-Ryole doors. 

While in operation only one key card will be available per trailer. The second key will be safely stored and be used only for rescues purposes  (locked door issues, lost 1st key or other).

Caution to the trainee: 

  Always keep this card with you while operating a K-Ryole.    

  Forgetting the key inside the trailer’s module is a mistake. If this situation occurs, you will be immobilized because you won’t be able to operate the trailer.

The battery is located at the bottom rear. You will find 2 levers that hold the battery casing closed. One lever can move freely, the second lever is a code lock. It is recommended to start your shift with a fully charged battery.
