3.5 Drawbars/Longitudi-
nal beams
3.6 Rotating stanchions
• When driving downhill on a moun-
tain pass, check to ensure that the
brakes are cooled sufciently.
• Put the base vehicle into a lower
gear and drive downhill at slow
speed.
• Stretch the trailer combination as
often as possible to avoid conti-
nuous bufng by the camper.
• Always make use of parking are-
as and passing points to give the
brakes a chance to cool off.
sign of strong brake lining wear is described in
the aforementioned check for the overrunning
equipment: if the safety clutch can be pushed in
more than approx. 5 mm. In this case, the wheel
brakes must be regulated by an experienced
shop or, if necessary, the brake shoes must be
renewed.
The main chassis beam and the towbar are con-
nected by cone washer bolts (with the exception
of the one-piece chassis). During regular main-
tenance, all of the screws must be checked and
retightened, if necessary (105 Nm).
The rotating stanchions are located in the front
and rear under the camper.
Turning the rotating stanchions outward
• Park the vehicle as horizontally as possible.
• On soft ground, lay a sturdy mat or suitably
sized board under the rotating stanchions to
prevent the camper from sinking.
• Turn the rotating stanchions outward.
The rotating stanchions may only
be used for support, and not for lev-
eling out or raising.
Turning the rotating stanchions inward
• With the crank, turn the rotating stanchions
inward to the horizontal position.
