CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
FUNCTION TEST
Check coupling head (prior to each run)
Check coupling head for wear and correct
operation
Check the wear indicator (use within the “+”
range only).
Check the coupling head fastenings (see item 1)
at regular intervals for firm seating.
LUBRICATION WORK
Lubricate the coupling head every 10,000 -
12,000 kilometres or annually
Oil ball hitch at regular intervals at the specified
locations and moving parts.
Grease the contact surface of the ball of the
towing vehicle.
Completion of the maintenance work in
accordance with the prescribed intervals is
essential in order to maintain the operating safety
and roadworthiness of the vehicle. The correction
of any defects found or the replacement of any
worn parts should be carried out by an Explorer
Group Retailer or Approved Service Centre.
Note: When installing spare parts, it is strongly
recommended that only original BPW
components are used. Parts approved by BPW
for caravan axles and suspensions regularly
undergo special test procedures and as a result
BPW is able to guarantee their quality. However,
BPW cannot assess for every single third party
product whether it can be used for BPW caravan
axles and suspensions without any risk to safety.
This applies even if the accredited test authority
has already tested such products. Our warranty
becomes null and void if spare parts other than
original BPW parts are used.
PROCUREMENT OF SPARE PARTS
The code and type numbers of the axle and
chassis components enable us to quickly
determine your exact spares requirements when
ordering from an Explorer Group Retailer or
Approved Service Centre. It is therefore
recommended always quote the 17 digit caravan
VIN number.
Note: For full maintenance details of the BPW
chassis and undergear please refer to the BPW
handbook supplied within your user information
pack or access the BPW website at
www.bpw.co.uk.
