F. Care & Maintenance
After taking ownership of your new Lumberjack Unit it is imperative to maintain it. This not only keeps it looking it’s best but
lengthens the life of the product, allowing you to enjoy it for a prolonged period.
Just as motor vehicles require regular maintenance, our Lumberjack Units do also.
SECURING YOUR UNIT
When not in use it is imperative your Lumberjack Unit is secured & locked.
Not only does this mean anything stored in the Unit is safe but the Unit itself is safer from potential dangers.
To secure your Unit it is highly recommended to use wheel chocks or a wheel clamp during storage, this also assists as a backup
should a handbrake failure occur. Ensure all your toolboxes are locked & the tanks themselves also.
High Tech Solutions
To secure your Unit using more high tech methods of security, GPS vehicle trackers are available which can be used to track your
Unit live via your mobile phone in the event of an emergency.
If you are worried about battery usage, there are models which will only activate once the Unit is moved.
DIY/ Budget Solutions
For those looking for a more budget friendly security measure you can purchase a small battery operated trail camera fitted with
infra-red sensors to your car or Bluetooth video feed which can be fitted to the front drawbar of the Unit hidden from sight. These
cameras can be set at an angle where should the unthinkable happen you can get video of the perpetrator’s registration.
A standard barn owl pest deterrent can be fitted with motion sensors or alarms and placed on the front or rear of the camper to
signal or deter threats.
Stainless steel armed cable locks are also available, these emit a 120 decibel alarm if cut which will immediately inform any
potential theft of your Unit.
To secure the tow block of your Unit a cable bike lock can be threaded through the tow block hole & locked, this prevents anyone
from attaching the polyblock to a vehicle which would make taking the Unit very difficult.
Chains
It’s an old technique but works quite effectively.
Chain can be used in a variety of ways to secure your Unit & also the items in it. Chain can be looped around the tyre and
padlocked to create a makeshift wheel lock in emergency cases.
It can also be used to secure camping equipment such as portable fridges, a thinner chain can be used & looped through multiple ‘D
Rings’ on the fridge slide drawers & around the fridge handles then padlocked to secure it in your Unit.
This technique can also be used for items such as generators, ice boxes or other similar items.
STABILISER LEGS
The stabiliser Legs will require greasing when they become stiff.
To grease them firstly remove the protective dust cover.
Then simply apply a pea sized amount of grease to the main gears visible, ensure to get the grease in in the teeth, spread it around
a small amount to cover them well.
FUSES
You may have noticed the numbered buttons in various locations such as the actuator control panel or main internal control panel,
these are fuses, should something happen to short them they will protrude from their slot, if this occurs simply push them back in
gently.
If they continuously protrude from their slot after pushing them back in, there is a further issue, please first refer to the
troubleshooting section of this manual, if this does not help with your issue, then please call our toll free number & select option 1 to
speak with a sales team member to troubleshoot for further assistance in this situation.
