CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
calibrated Torque Wrench to 130 Nm
(Newton Metres) (118 lb-ft) - on all M12
wheel bolts - in sequence, i.e. North,
South, East, West not clock or
anticlockwise.
WARNING: The torque settings should be
rechecked after 50km / 30 miles. Wheel
bolts should never be lubricated.
In order to operate the ALKO braking system
correctly adequate traction of caravan wheels
is required when reversing. Therefore surface
conditions that would result in a lack of
traction should be avoided. Example: Peas,
shingle/loose gravel.
Care should be taken when traversing ramps
or other obstacles in order to prevent
damage to the caravan under gear. When
approaching such obstacles reduce towing
speed appropriately.
