You have just become the owner of a RACLET trailer tent. This model has been strictly controlled
at every stage of manufacturing. In order to ensure you full satisfaction and many pleasant
moments of relaxation, we advise you to read carefully the following Instructions.
BEFORE TAKING THE ROAD
CHECK
•
Tyre pressure (correct pressure is indicated on the trailer body).
•
That wheel mounting nuts are tight (the tightening torque shall be
verified after 25 to 40 km, after 100 km and then periodically).
•
That all lighting and signalling equipment functions properly.
•
Loading (the maximum authorized weight under load must not be
exceeded). See that load is properly distributed (a bearing
pressure of approximately 20 kg on auto coupling gear).
•
That caravan coupling head is firmly secured to the coupling
sphere of your auto.
ON THE HIGHWAY
•
MAINTAIN a sufficient DISTANCE from the vehicle in front of
you.
•
When OVERTAKING do not forget when pulling back into your
lane that the length of your vehicle is increased by that of the
caravan.
And HAVE A GOOD TRIP!
