wheel mounting
It is important to maintain proper torque
specifications to provide safe and secure
attachment of the wheel to the hub drum.
•
Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross
threading.
•
Tighten nuts in three stages using a
cross star pattern.
•
Whenever wheels are removed and
refitted the wheel nut torque should
be checked. Wheel nuts should be
tightened to a torque of 115 Nm (80 ft
Ib) for 1/2” diameter wheel stud threads
on steel rims and 122Nm (90 ft Ib) for
112” diameter wheel stud threads on
alloy rims.
It is recommended that the wheel nut
tension be checked every 100 km for the
first 400 km of your initial caravan use
and then after every wheel change, every
1000km or every six months whichever
comes first.
Bumper bars
Some bumper bars (where fitted) have
been designed to carry a spare wheel.
The maximum carrying capacity of these
bumper bars is 30Kg. Please note a spare
wheel weighs approx. 27Kg. All other
bumper bars have not been designed to
carry a spare wheel. Any modifications or
adding extra load will affect the towing
abilities of your RV and could cause
structural damage which will
void your
warranty!
•
Do not carry full fuel containers
on rear bumper bars.
•
Do not add additional weight to
rear bumper bars.
Corner stabilisers
Corner stabilisers are designed so that
they stop the RV from tipping towards one
end as you walk inside it. They should be
lowered to the point where they touch the
ground in a firm manner without taking
any weight of the van. Remember
they
are not jacks
and should never be used
to take even partial weight of the van. As
you move inside the van from end to end
you cause more weight to be applied to the
stabiliser. You should therefore never use
force on the stabiliser handle to force the
stabiliser to the ground thereby taking the
weight off the van. Stabilisers that are bent
due to excess weight being applied to them
are
not covered under warranty
.
