Wheels
and Tyres
The tyres of the OKTO caravan should be inflated to 2.6 Bar, and checked before each trip.
It is advisable to inflate the tow vehicle as follows: Rear tyres 2.5 Bar and front tyres 2.2 Bar.
The wheel nuts should be checked and torqued to 95N.m before each trip. It is important to stop
and check wheel nuts of a new OKTO every 100km for the first 1000km. This will provide enough
time for the wheel nuts to seat into the rim.
If you need to change your wheel in the event of a puncture, follow the next procedure:
•
Remove the spare wheel from its cradle as shown below.
•
Place chocks on either side of the non-punctured wheel.
•
Pull up the handbrake lever.
•
Loosen the wheel nuts of the punctured wheel, but do not remove them yet.
•
Wind the jockey wheel so that the nose of the caravan is as low as possible.
•
Wind the rear corner steady on the side that has the punctured wheel down and exert
approximately three winds of pressure onto the steady after it has touched the ground.
•
Now wind up the jockey wheel as high as it can go. This should lift the punctured wheel
off the ground.
•
You can now loosen the wheel nut completely and remove them. Take off the wheel
and fit the spare.
•
Follow the same procedure but in reverse and make absolutely sure you have double
checked that the wheel nuts are tight.
How to Remove the Spare Wheel
•
Drop the nose of the caravan down as low as you can to provide enough space for the
spare wheel to past out underneath the wall of the caravan.
•
Remove the clip and undo the locking fly-screw holding the spare wheel cradle in
place.
