Please note with Alloy Wheels you should
first tighten all bolts to 85Nm (63lbs/ft)
then go around again in the sequence
shown and increase the torque from
85Nm (63lbs/ft) to 130Nm (96lbs/ft). The
correct conical and tapered wheel bolts
(stamped 10.9) must be used.
IMPORTANT:
Your attention is drawn to the
notice affixed in the caravan advising on fire
prevention, ventilation and what to do in
case of fire.
CHILDREN
Do not leave children alone in the caravan.
Keep potentially dangerous items, e.g.
matches, drugs etc, out of reach, as at home.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
It is recommended that you provide, one dry
powder fire extinguisher, of an approved
type or complying with EN 3-7 of at least
1kg capacity by main exit door, and a fire
blanket next to the cooker. Familiarise
yourself with the instructions on the fire
extinguisher and the local fire precaution
arrangements.
A fat pan must not have an extinguisher aimed
at it, but must be smothered by a fire blanket.
IN CASE OF FIRE
1. Get everyone out of the caravan as
quickly as possible using whichever exit is
quickest including windows. Do not stop
to collect any personal items.
2. Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.
3. Turn off gas container valve if safe to do so.
VENTILATION AND CONDENSATION
All caravans comply with EN 1645-1. The
ventilation points on your caravan are fixed
points of ventilation, which are required by
the European Standards. Low level
ventilation is located at various points. High
level ventilation is through the roof lights.
Under no circumstances must these vents
be blocked or obstructed.
It is advised that fixed ventilation points are
checked and cleaned (if necessary) on a
regular basis.
SECURITY
VIN (VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER)
Record your caravan V.I.N. which can be
found stamped on the underside of the
drawbar or on one of the eye level windows.
Make a note of this number in the space
provided at the front of this guide and make
a separate note of the number to keep safe
at home.
CARAVAN THEFT
The theft of a caravan can occur in the most
unlikely circumstances; from a motorway
service area, even from an owner’s driveway.
Secure all windows and doors when your
caravan is unoccupied, even if only for a
short length of time.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY
Laser and VIP models come as standard
with the AL-KO Secure wheel clamping
device. While Vision and Pastiche have the
AL-KO Secure receiver fitted as standard
and the AL-KO Secure device can be
purchased from your dealer, alternatively
consider fitting any device, which might
deter or prevent intrusion by thieves. A hitch
lock cover prevents towing of the caravan.

SAFETY AND SECURITY
WARNING
Never use portable cooking or
heating equipment, other than
electrical heaters that are not of the
radiant type, as it is a fire and
asphyxiation hazard.
Petrol/Diesel Fumes
The fitting of a tail pipe to your exhaust
will reduce the possibility of fumes
entering your caravan through the front
fixed ventilation points.
