CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
Overrunning device
The device housing is packed with grease on
assembly, but will require periodic
maintenance to ensure smooth operation of
the braking system.
1) Regrease the shaft bearings via the
grease nipples provided at 3000 mile
intervals, and before storage.
2) Ensure correct functioning of all pivot
pins and levers and oil regularly.
3) Ensure correct functioning of handbrake
ratchet and oil regularly.
Jockey wheel
Lubricate wheel and screw thread
periodically with grease.
Brake linkage
All moving parts should be lubricated
periodically to ensure their satisfactory
operation.
Corner steadies
The screw and pivot pins should be
lubricated periodically to ensure their
satisfactory operation.
Braking system adjustment
(At 500 miles, then every 3,000 miles or 1
year)
• Ensure the towing shaft with coupling
heads is pulled fully forward (Fig. 8).
• 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).
• Jack up one side of the caravan (see
Jack Operation Instructions).
• Remove the inner plastic bung from the
backplate to expose the ‘starwheel’
adjuster access (Figs. 8 & 9).
• 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).
• Slacken off the starwheel adjuster until
the road wheel turns freely in the forward
direction (Fig. 9).
• 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
