Chapter overview
This chapter contains important information which has to be noted before com-
mencing your journey or carrying out any tasks before the journey.
The instructions address the following topics:
z
initial start-up
z
calculating the payload
z
correct loading of the vehicle and bike rack
z
towing
z
retracting and extending the entrance step
z
storing the television
z
storing the sink cover
z
using snow chains
At the end of the chapter there is a checklist which once again summarises the
most important points.
3.1
Start-up
The motorhome is supplied with a set of keys, consisting of keys for the base
vehicle and keys for the body.
Always deposit a replacement key outside the vehicle. Make a note of the key
number. Our authorised dealers and workshops can offer assistance in case
of loss.
Further information in chapter 12.
3.2
Payload
On loading, make sure that the payload's centre of gravity is as low as possible
(directly above the floor of the vehicle). Otherwise this may affect the driving
characteristics of the vehicle.
Z
During the initial journey and each time after changing a wheel, re-tighten
the wheel bolts/wheel nuts after 50 km (30 miles). Subsequently inspect
them at regular intervals in order to ensure that they are firmly seated.
X
Overloading the vehicle and wrong tyre pressure can cause tyres to
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle (see section 13.5).
X
The permissible total weight and the weight including special equipment
fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehicle documents,
but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see section 3.2.1). For your own
safety, we recommend that you have your loaded vehicle (with all pas-
sengers, luggage and personal objects) weighed on a public weigh-
bridge before you set out on your journey.
X
Adapt the speed to the payload. The stopping distance is increased if the
payload is high.
Z
Do not exceed the maximum permissible gross weight (permissible total
weight) stated in the vehicle documents and the maximum axle loads as a
result of the payload.
Z
Built-in accessories and special equipment reduce the payload.
Z
Adhere to the axle load stated in the vehicle documents.
