Chapter overview
This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before com-
mencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
The instructions address the following topics:
z
initial start-up
z
connecting and detaching to the towing vehicle
z
caravan coupling
z
calculating the payload
z
correct loading of the caravan
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist which once again summarises the
most important points.
3.1
Start-up
The caravan is supplied with a set of keys.
Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the key
number. Our authorised dealers and workshops can offer assistance in case
of loss.
Further information in chapter 12.
3.2
Connecting
Z
During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten
the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect
them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated. See
chapter 13 for tightening torque.
Z
Check whether the road light system of the towing vehicle corresponds to
that of the caravan (see chapter 8), and whether a nominal voltage of 12 V
is provided by the towing vehicle.
X
Care is to be taken when connecting and detaching a trailer. Risk of acci-
dent and injury!
X
No persons are to be between the towing vehicle and the trailer during
positioning for connecting and detaching.
X
Observe the permissible nose weight and rear axle load of the towing
vehicle. Nose weight and rear axle load must not be exceeded. The
values of the nose weight and rear axle load are included in the docu-
ments of the vehicle and the caravan coupling.
X
Ensure that the interior of the coupling is not soiled and that the movable
parts of the coupling (not the ball retainer) are lubricated.
X
The tow ball is not to be lubricated when using a stabiliser. The friction
pads are pressed against the coupling ball and thereby generate an anti-
rolling moment. This anti-rolling effect is only guaranteed when the
towing vehicle coupling head is free of lubricant and other residues.
When lubricating the stabiliser ensure that no lubricant is on the friction
pads.
