CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
• Finally, if the alloy road wheels have
been removed, re-tighten using a
calibrated Torque Wrench to 130 Nm
(Newton Metres) (96 lb-ft) - on all M12
wheel bolts - in sequence, i.e. North,
South, East, West not clock or
anticlockwise.
WARNING: The torque settings should be
rechecked after 50km / 30 miles. Wheel
bolts should never be lubricated
.
In order to operate the ALKO braking system
correctly adequate traction of caravan wheels
is required when reversing. Therefore surface
conditions that would result in a lack of
traction should be avoided. Example: Peas,
shingle/loose gravel.
Care should be taken when traversing ramps
or other obstacles in order to prevent
damage to the caravan under gear. When
approaching such obstacles reduce towing
speed appropriately.
Chassis Lubrication Points
1. Grease the drawbar in the area of the
bellows.
2. Grease the bearing bush through the
grease nipples on the housing and the
cartridge.
3. Grease the pivot bolt of the overrun lever
and handbrake levers through the grease
nipple.
4. Grease the joint of the brade rod and
fitting.
5. Oil the joints of the spring cylinder in the
handbrake lever.
Lubricant type: Multi-purpose grease to DIN
51825 KTA 3K4.
