The optimum tyre pressure for caravans loaded to their maximum
permissible total weight should fall in the range of 0.18
0.01 MPa.
In order to ensure a long service life of tyres, it is necessary to:
–
maintain the required tyre pressure,
–
avoid driving over kerbs,
–
when storing the caravan for long periods of time, support it to prevent the
wheels

from touching the ground,
–
avoid prolonged static loading.
Use a 19 mm socket wrench to screw on the wheels.
BRAKING SYSTEM
Caravans manufactured by NIEWIADÓW sp. z o.o. are fitted with an
overrun braking system, which consists of:
–
overrun device
–
transmission,
–
wheel braking mechanisms.
During vehicle braking, the inertia of the caravan exerts pressure on the
overrun device, which actuates the braking mechanisms in the caravan wheels
via transmission cables. The design of the braking mechanisms allows reversing
without additional maintenance. When switching from reversing to driving forward,
the braking system is automatically ready to brake.
The caravan has a parking brake system that is activated by a hand lever
located at the overrun device and allows stopping the caravan on slopes up to
16%.
The parking brake is only effective when the ratchet lever is on the last
tooth.
Insufficient engagement of the lever causes the caravan to brake forwards
without providing adequate braking in the rearward direction.
When parking on a slope for an extended period of time, it is recommended
to place chocks under the wheels in addition to applying the handbrake.
The caravan braking system requires maintenance and adjustment as
described in item 8

JOCKEY WHEEL
It is designed to support the front of the caravan when rolling, hitching to a car, or
changing a road wheel.
Make that the jockey wheel bolt is always lubricated with grease.
SIGNALLING SYSTEM
11
The caravan is equipped with a 12 V signaling system.
The connection of wires to the terminals of the 13-pin connector and the colours
of wires used to connect them to the corresponding lights are shown below.
