them against unnecessary dirt during travelling
– pull on the hand brake and / or wedge the wheels of the trailer during standstill on the ramping surface
– notice that your braking distance is about 20 % longer than the same without the caravan
– the fuel consumption is within range of 20 up to 50 % larger, depending on a towing car type,
travelling speed, wind and your driving skill
– always drive with defined speed reserve, to reach necessary acceleration possibility, if required
– the vent hatch opening during heavy wind is not allowed
– be careful, when you driving on a wet asphalt pavement or on a ramp shaped road
6. Chassis maintenance.
Check all bolted joints ex. Chassis and cabin, pulling rod, bearing and travelling elements, after first
50 km of usage and least once a year as well as before a long distance driving, tighten lose elements,
if required.
Every 6 months :
– press fat though two lubricating nipples into the overrunning brake mechanism
– lubricate with oil the actuating elements of the overrunning brake
Every 10.000 kilometre :
– change the lubricating fat in the bearings of the hubs and decrease their excessive clearance
– check the wearing off the brake shoes lining, entire shoes or back actuating springs, change them if
necessary
– clean the adjusting pinion of the gap between the brake shoe and the drum of the brake and fat the
pinion if necessary
– check the brake system functions
– lubricate with oil the actuating line of the brake
Damaged surface of lacquer clean thoroughly and paint it with ground layer and two layers of the
surface paint. Damaged galvanised surfaces clean thoroughly and repair them with “ zinc spray “.
7. Care and small repairs.
After 50 km check tightness of every bolt, nut and other threaded connection, split collars conditions
etc. tight or change them if necessary.
Every 2.500 kilometres, but no longer than once each 6 months :
– press the fat through two lubricating nipples into the overrunning brake mechanism
– lubricate with oil the joint of the hand-brake
Every 10.000 km :
– change the lubricant in the bearings and decrease the clearance of the hubs
– check the wearing of the brake shoes lining, change the worn lining, and / or back actuating spring
– lubricate the working surfaces of the brake adjustment parts
– check the function of the overrunning brake
– lubricate the actuating line and slide surfaces of the overrunning brake actuator
Time to time order to skilled (authorised) service the technical survey of the entire chassis. The cabin
of the caravan require always to keep it clean. Clean wet the laminate, using ordinary car cleaning
agents. Clean thoroughly the damages places, remove fat with organic solvent and paint them with
lacquer, suitable for polyurethane surfaces. Scratches or other laminate damages ex. Holes, caves,
kneads clean and fat remove, then repair them with three layers of fibreglass (recommended basis
surface weight of 300 g/m²). After drying, level the surface with jute, grind and paint it with lacquer.
Clean the windows with e flexible rag, rinse them with water and protect them against scratching.
Clean the walls coating with an agent suitable for carpet or covering fabric cleaning, follow the
producers instructions. Clean the furniture and cooker with water and ordinary cleaning agent, using a
