4.10.19 Jockey wheel
Lubricate wheel and screw thread periodically with grease.
4.10.20 Brake linkage
All moving parts should be lubricated periodically to ensure their satisfactory operation.
4.10.21 Corner steadies
The screw and pivot pins should be lubricated periodically to ensure their satisfactory operation.
4.10.22 Braking system adjustment
(At 500 miles, then every 3,000 miles or 1 year)
i. Ensure the towing shaft with coupling
heads is pulled fully forward (fig. 8).
ii. Release the handbrake to the fully off
position. If the handbrake will not go
down the whole way because of the
fairing or any other obstruction; then the
fairing must be cut away and/or the
obstruction removed to achieve this
desired position. It will not be possible
to set up the braking system properly
when the handbrake is not in the fully
off position (fig .8).
iii. Jack up one side of the caravan (see Jack Operation
Instructions).
iv. Remove the inner plastic bung from the backplate to expose
the ‘starwheel’ adjuster access (figs. 8 & 9).
v. Always rotating the road wheel in the forward direction - never
backwards; adjust the starwheel with a suitable screwdriver, in
the direction of the arrow embossed on the backplate until there
is resistance in the wheel rotation (fig. 9).
vi. Slacken off the starwheel adjuster until the road wheel turns
freely in the forward direction (fig. 9).
vii. Check the adjustment at the end of the brake cable where it is
secured to the abutment (bracket) welded to the centre of the
axle. When the inner cable is pulled out it
should extend between
5 and 8 mm (fig. 8). (On tandem axles a double abutment is fitted to the front axle only).
viii. Repeat for other wheel or wheels.
ix. On tandem axles the brake cables from the rear axle should pass over this axle and cross over
each other before being connected to the abutment on the front axle.
x. Ensure the balance bar (compensation) is being pulled evenly. This bar (double on tandem axles)
should always be paralleled with
the axle tube when pulled (figs. 8 & 10). Adjust M8 lock and ball
nuts, if necessary, to achieve correct parallel position (fig. 10).
