Changing the wheel
• Set the corresponding jack* onto the axle pipe of the swinging
lever group or on the longitudinal beam in the area of the axle
attachmentsof the wheel to be changed.
• In campers with a double axle, always position the car jack*
underneath the rear axle. We recommend using a hydraulic
jack*.
• If the vehicle is parked on soft ground, lay a stable reinforce
ment under jack* (i.e., a board).
• Lift the vehicle until the wheel is 2 or 3 cm o the ground.
• Reposition the ratchet jack* handle if it should slant when you
jack up the vehicle.
• Remove the wheel fastening screws and the wheel.
• Attach the spare tyre to the hub and adjust it.
• Reattach the wheel screws and tighten them lightly over the
transversal.
• Lower the jack* and remove it.
• Tighten the wheel fatening screws evenly with the wheel
wrench. The nominal value of the attachment torque is 110 nm
for steel rims and 120 nm for aluminium rims.
• Release the handbrake and reactivate the stabilization system.
The rotating stanchions may not be used as a jack*!
After changing the tyre, the wheel screws must be
examined (after a 50 km drive) to ensure that they are
tight enough (tighten if necessary).
You should have a functional spare tyre available at all
times. Therefore, have the spare tyre replaced without
delay.
