Shade and screen care
• Do not close blinds while the window is open. Air pressure can dislodge the blind material from its guide damaging it.
• Always open and close blinds and screens carefully and evenly with two hands ensuring screens and blind material feeds
evenly through the guides.
Corrosion Protection
Reasonable steps should be made by the customer to protect the product from corrosion. Seaside areas, areas with high salt
contents in soil and roads that are salted during snow conditions can accelerate corrosion. When used in these areas the product
should be thoroughly washed after use and unpainted metal surfaces should be coated in a suitable protectant. Lanotec lanolin
spray, Inox or similar are recommended.
Roof Maintenance
Sealants
Roof sealants should be inspected every 6 months for condition. If the sealant has perished or adhesion has failed it should be
repaired immediately.
Solar Panels
Accumulated dirt and soiling can affect the performance of the solar panels. Panels should be cleaned as necessary to prevent
this. Sealants around solar panel mounts should be checked annually to ensure they are in good condition.
Service Ladder
XT12HR OFF-GRID EXTEME model trailers come fitted with a rear mounted external service ladder to premiss easy access to
the roof for maintenance purposes. When using the ladder, you should follow these guidelines as a minimum:
• Do NOT use the ladder if you suffer from epilepsy or any other condition that may cause imbalance or impair your
ability to use the ladder safely.
• When in the ladder, do not stand or work beyond the top rung.
• Always keep a firm hold on the side rail when climbing up, down or while standing on the ladder.
• The Weight Load Limit of the ladder is 250 lbs.
Trailer Body Maintenance
Locks and Latches
Locks need regular maintenance to ensure they operate correctly and stay free from corrosion. Diligent use of WD40 or Inox
will help in this regard. Both locks and latches need to be checked for adjustment to ensure correct seal compression.
Rubber Seals
Rubber seals are critical in reducing or eliminating dust and water ingress. Damaged or worn seals should be replaced
immediately. Seals that are overly compressed will stay flattened and be less effective. (See maintenance schedule)
Sealants
Regular checking of sealants will help avoid any likelihood of water ingress on your trailer. Offroad use can cause mechanical
damage to seals from vegetation and stones striking the trailer body. 6 monthly inspections should be undertaken, and any
necessary repairs made.
