TRAILER BRAKES
Your electric drum breaks require a break-in period to achieve full and proper performance. This applies when you
first receive your new OP LITE then after new parts are installed as part of your maintenance schedule. Your OP LITE
brakes should be adjusted after the first 200 miles then every 3000 miles after that. We highly recommend that all break
adjustments, maintenance and ser-vicing is carried out by a qualified technician at your OPUS dealership.
CAUTION!
You may need to adjust your brakes more frequently dependent on variations in cargo weights.
SUSPENSION, WHEEL & HITCH BOLTS
After your first 50 miles then 500 miles after that please check the suspension bolts,
wheel nuts and hitch bolts to ensure that they have maintained their tightness.
STEP 1:
This should be completed with a torque wrench to 100 ft lbs.
STEP 2:
When tightening wheel nut lugs, please tighten bolts in astar-patten order
as indicated in the diagram.
STEP 3:
After that, check your bolts every 2000 miles and always before an
extended trIp.
FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY SERVICES
Your OP LITE is fitted with a number of fire and life safety devices and comes with manuals and instructions for operating each
device. These include:
1. PROPANE GAS & CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM
—Locate in the footwell directly opposite the main door
2. SMOKE ALARM
—located on the wall just inside the door to the right
3. FIRE EXTINGUISHER
—located inside and to the right of the door.
4. EMERGENCY EXITS
- Are shown on the below floorplan. They are 1) The main OPUS door; 2) Out of the front bed-end tent by
zipping open the inner-tent window and then opening the zip along the the BOTTOM of the main tent (see image); 3) Out of the
rear bed using the same method as in 2)
Please read and familiarize yourselves with the proper usage and maintenance
of these features before using your trailer as outlined in their respective manuals.
It is possible that the alarms may sound when using products that give off
vapors such as cleaning fluid, aerosols, adhesives etc. or if the sensor is covered by objects.
Failure to regularly test and properly maintain these devices may lead to serious
injury or death.

Make sure all of five quick release valves are properly closed.
•
Make sure there are no extreme folds or kinks in the air beams (particularly the main air beam where the AIR compressor hose
connects to) that could prevent air being transferred to the other air beams. The compressor will be able to overcome most folds
but in some cases you may need to make a minor adjustment to the tent to allow air through more extreme folds that could be
trapping air.
If this happens, gently push on the middle air pole from the outside to help it straighten and allow the pole to inflate.
•
Make sure all of the isolation valves are in the OPEN position otherwise AIR cannot pass between beams.
•
Make sure your AIR Compressor hose is securely in the AIR tent inlet valve
•
Should you experience issues with your compressor, you can use the included manual pump to inflate your tent. This will take
around 5 minutes.
•
We recommend opening each quick release valve and re-closing it in case you have cross-threaded the valve.
•
Ensure you are removing the AIR compressor hose and capping the valve once you are inflated.
•
If you suspect an AIR leak, use the isolation valves to close off each air beam so that you can identify which leak the beam is on.
Take care not to over-tighten the isolation valves as this can damage the valve and in itself cause a leak
•
Remember to open the valve again when you need to re-inflate your tent.
•
Should you identify a leak in your air beam or valve, please use the following map and contact OPUS HQ for a replacement
beam.
•
For field repairs, you can use the patch kit included with your OP LITE.
•
We also recommend keeping the isolation valves closed until the air beam is replaced to help prevent tent collapse. For
instructions on replacing the beam, please see the AIR beam replacement section of this user manual under Care & Maintenance.
If you have aselected the solar port option, you will find it on the back of
your trailer by the the driver-side tail light. We utilize a Zamp solar port
which is directly compatible with Zamp solar panels but Zamp also offer a
range of adapters to allow compatibility with other branded panels should
you choose to use another brand however you may require a Zamp
reverse polarity adapter. When selecting your solar panel please opt for
one that utilizes a built-in charge controller to help regulate the power to
the batteries as the OPUS does not have one built in. Please ensure you
read the user guide for your selected solar panels in full before connecting
to the OPUS. For reference, you will need to use the AGM setting for the
battery type.

•
Issue: Water pump is running when all faucets & valves are closed
•
Troubleshoot: Leak in the system. Identify leaking fitting and attempt to tighten the fitting (usually hand-tight should be sufficient
without the need for a wrench which could potentially over-tighten and damage the system. If still leaking, disconnect and
check for debris or degrading within the fitting.
•
Issue: Water pump running but no water at faucets
•
Troubleshoot: No water in tank? Check for faulty sensor that could be misleading you to think that there is water in the tank.
Possibly the sensor needs cleaning or replacing.
•
Issue: Stove top won’t stay ignited.
•
Troubleshoot: Press and hold the ignition/ dial for 10 seconds to overcome the safety thermocouple.
•
Consider the outside temperature; cold weather can cause the BTU of propane to drop. This can impact overall performance
of the propane system. Keep your propane tanks full during cold weather and check other appliances that might also be using
propane at the time.
