IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.
DO NOT
use a snatch strap. The extreme kinetic energies may cause failure of the recovery points resulting in
DEATH
or
SERIOUS INJURY
as well as damages to the Unit & vehicle.
2.
NEVER
attempt a recovery without the proper equipment.
3.
NEVER
stand between the vehicle & Unit during a recovery
4.
NEVER
attach a recovery strap to a vehicle's tow ball.
REVERSING
Many owners still adopt the technique of unhitching their Unit and pushing it around by hand in a tight spot using its jockey wheel.
This is time consuming and not much fun in poor weather. Backing is quite a simple technique. All you need to do is turn the car
wheels in the opposite direction you would if the car was on its own. This will push the Unit in the desired direction. It may take a
little time to get used to this, but we encourage you to practise if you can to build confidence.
If you are still experiencing difficulties, try placing your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel (in the 6 o’clock position) Then turn
the wheel in the direction you want the Unit to go left (clockwise) or right (anti-clock wise). Begin straightening the wheel just before
the Unit reaches the full reversing position you require.
If you over-steer when practicing and reach too sharp an angle with the Unit, pull forward and straighten up, then start again. You
will find this much easier than trying to correct with the opposite lock.
Practice your turns in a wide open space at first (a large empty car park is ideal), you’ll soon get used to it. The longer the Unit the
easier it is.
SAFETY DURING AND EMERGENCY STOP
Please carry a warning device, i.e. Reflective Triangle, to be displayed when necessary.
Pull off the road as far as possible when changing a tyre, or in other emergency situations, remembering your Unit is larger than the
tow vehicle.
It is advisable that everyone leaves the car and stays well clear when it is parked on the edge of a road or highway.
BAD WEATHER
While camping you may encounter bad weather, if bad weather is forecast take down the annex completely & pack it away to avoid
any damages, weather damage is not covered by Lumberjack’s warranty.
This extends to any side awnings installed on any pod camper units, such as the Sheoak & Sorrento.
DO NOT attempt to setup any annexes or side awnings in extreme conditions or when strong winds are present as damage can
occur.
SECURING YOUR UNIT
Once the perfect location has been found, it is highly recommended to use suitable wheel chocks to help secure the Unit & prevent
it from moving in the event of any brake failure. Wheel clamps or chocks can both deliver this security & can be found at most
vehicle goods stores.
Below are some tips regarding the security of your Unit, more can be found in the storage section of this manual also.
Protecting Valuables
When not at your campsite the best place to keep any valuable items is in your vehicle completely out of sight. Most vehicles are
completely enclosed Units which makes them the safest place for anything valuable to be stored. If desired, a small safe can be
kept in the boot of the car for any highly valuable items.
Remember:
·
If keeping anything in your car, make sure it is locked each night before you go to sleep!
·
The best way to keep valuables safe is to leave them at home.
Knowing your neighbours
When camping in a commercial location you may have various neighbours around you, not only is it courteous to say hello or have
a brief chat, but it also assists to establish a camper comradery where you generally lookout for one another.
Just as you can keep an eye out for anything suspicious or anyone who doesn’t seem to belong around their site, they can do the
same for you.
Camping is a fun experience outdoors & it never hurts to help a fellow camper out when we can.
