Rotating Stanchions - Hobby 350 TB De Luxe Operation Manual

3.7 Rotating stanchions

03-8
It is mandatory that the brake pads
are regularly adjusted by an authori-
sed specialist (initial inspection after
500 km) to compensate for wear in
the brake lining and minimise brake
pedal travel on the wheel brakes
and, therefore, the overrun coupling,
keeping it as consistent as possible.
(See also 12.3 Brakes)
• When driving downhill on a moun-
tain pass, check to ensure that the
brakes are cooled sufficiently.
• Put the base vehicle into a lower
gear and drive downhill at slow
speed.
• Stretch the trailer combination as
often as possible to avoid conti-
nuous buffing by the camper.
• Always make use of parking are-
as and passing points to give the
brakes a chance to cool off.
Please read the separately enclosed
operating manual of the axle/brake
manufacturer (Knott).
The rotating stanchions are located in the front
and rear under the camper.
Turning the rotating stanchions outward
•
Park the vehicle as horizontally as possible.
•
On soft ground, lay a sturdy mat or suitably
sized board under the rotating stanchions to
prevent the camper from sinking.
•
Turn the rotating stanchions outward.
The rotating stanchions may only
be used for support, and not for
leveling out or raising.
Turning the rotating stanchions inward
•
With the crank, turn the rotating stanchions
inward to the horizontal position.
The crank for the rotating stanchions is located
at the front in the gas-bottle container. It is atta-
ched firmly to the bottom of the container.
