4. Wheels and Tyres

Changing the wheel
• If the vehicle is parked on soft ground, lay a stable reinforce
ment under jack* (i.e., a board).
• 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*.
• Before jacking up the trailer, loosen the wheel mounting screws
one full circle, but do not remove them.
• 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.
• Place the spare tyre* on the wheel hub and align 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.
You should have a functional spare tyre available at all
times. Therefore, have the spare tyre replaced without
delay.
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).
The rotating stanchions may not be used as a jack*!
Only use the specically designated jack* for the corre-
sponding frame parts.
For example, on the axle pipe corresponding to the
swinging lever group or on the stringer in the area of
the axle fasteners.
Damage or even an accident resulting from the vehicle's
toppling over can occur if the jack* is applied to other
parts of the vehicle.
The jack*
is only to be used for changing tyres. It may
not be used for working under the vehicle!
Danger of death!
