After The Drive - FENDT CARAVAN 2021 Operation Manual

2.5 After the drive

9
Due to the design of the brakes, there may be increa-
sed wear in the brake lining during the initial break-in
phase. We recommend that, after you have driven ap-
prox. 700 - 1200 km, you have the basic setting for the
brakes checked by a specialist company and adjusted
if necessary (Initial inspection).
Not applicable for brakes with automatic adjustment
(e.g. AL-KO-AAAPremium Brake - new series in
2016 models)
Driving in reverse
Your Fendt caravan has a braking system with automatic reverse. This
makes driving in reverse possible without activating the overrunning
brake. However, in addition to rolling resistance, the residual brake
force must first be overcome.
The next time the caravan moves forward the braking system will
work normally again.
Rules for driving in reverse
• The caravan tilts in the opposite direction in which you steer.
• Use a guide when driving in reverse.
Shunting
Your carriage is significantly larger than a car.
Rules for shunting
• There is a significant blind spot in shunting, even when the
exterior mirrors are properly adjusted.
• Use a guide when turning into difficult parking spots.
When positioning the caravan manually, only use the
steering handles at the front and rear ends of the cara-
van. Never push on the plastic parts or the walls.
Choosing a parking place
Rules for choosing a parking place
• The parking place should be as horizontal as possible.
• Check to see that the entry step is positioned horizontally (im-
portant 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.
Do not compensate differences in height with the lift
stanchions.
