2. Safety
Choosing a parking place
Rules for choosing a parking place:
• If at all possible, check the place selected for parking in daylight.
• The parking place should be as horizontal as possible.
• Check to see that the entry step is positioned horizontally (impor-
tant for refrigerator function).
• Balance the lengthwise slant with the front landing wheel.
• Balance the crosswise slant by laying appropriate boards or a
ramp under a wheel.
2.7 After the drive
Do not use the rotating stanchions to compensate for
any dierences in height.
Shunting (moving caravan by hand)
Your carriage is signicantly larger than a car.
Rules for moving caravan
• There is a signicant blind spot when moving the caravan, even
when the exterior mirrors are properly adjusted.
• Use a another person when turning into
dicult parking spots.
Front manoeuvring handle
When positioning the caravan manually, only use the
steering handles at the front and rear ends of the ca-
ravan. Never push on the plastic parts or the walls.
Rules for driving in reverse
• The caravan tilts in the opposite direction in which you steer.
• Use a guide when driving in reverse.
Driving in reverse
Your HOBBY caravan has a braking system with automatic reverse.
It enables you to drive backwards without applying the brakes, becau-
se the overrun coupling does not dierentiate between overrunning or
reversing the caravan. When you back up the caravan, you must rst
overcome a slight residual brake torque in order to activate the automatic
reverse. You can then back up the caravan without any diculty. The
next time the caravan moves forward, the normal braking facility is then
automatically applied again.
The caravan's brakes are deactivated when you drive
in reverse.
