STEP 8 Finishing and maintenance
Make sure that all lead-throughs (cables, hydraulic hoses etc.) have been laid with all due care and
secured. We recommend that the axle supports including their hose connections are treated with a
rustproofer such as Tectyl. Such a protective layer will protect the system from wear and corrosion. The
level of oil in the oil tank must be checked as part of the annual maintenance. If the axle supports are
treated every year with a rustproofing agent, this will substantially enhance the life of the product.
And finally five tips for the customer
• The system may in no circumstances be used for changing wheels.
• Never let the force bear on the corner supports alone. Always start by operating the axle cylinder.
• The use of the manual operation option is especially recommended when condition of the ground is
poor.
• Please remember that the system cannot handle all corners at once and that when in automatic
mode a red lamp will light up. In these cases you should set the caravan to the zero point in manual
mode. Another possibility is to set the caravan on wedges and to fill in empty spaces underneath the
feet.
• System control to prevent the caravan tipping backwards: the tow bar must always be positioned at
a lower level than the stern of the caravan. Otherwise the system does not function and a red lamp
will light.
