6.3 Ramps
To enable the vehicle to be parked on the level, ramps can be used for height
compensation when the vehicle is parked on a hill or on uneven ground.
6.4 Supports
6.4.1 General instructions
Z
Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Use ramps where
necessary. Otherwise, the water from the shower tray will not be able to
drain properly.
Z
Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling.
Z
Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the
vehicle. To prevent this from happening, regularly check the vehicle for
damages or animal traces after pitching.
Z
If there is any risk of frost, release the handbrake every now and then and
apply it again. This will prevent it from freezing or rusting. Prior to releasing
the handbrake, secure the vehicle so that it cannot roll away.
Z
Ramps are not included in the scope of delivery. Different models are avail-
able from accessory shops.
Z
Do not use the fitted supports as a vehicle jack. They supports are only for
stabilising the parked vehicle to prevent the rear axle from bottoming out.
Z
When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the supports are evenly loaded.
Z
Before driving away, wind up the supports as far as they can go, fully retract
and secure them.
Z
When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in order
to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
