Maintenance
Theelectricmotordoesnothaveanymaintainableparts.Ifthemotordoesnotwork,itwillhavetobe
replaced.Theonlythingyoucandoischeckthecablesandconnections.
Oncethemotorhasbeentakenapart,thewarrantywillbecomeinvalid.Themechanicalpartsofthe
E&PLevellingSystemcanbeexchanged.AskE&PHydraulicsforinformation,ifyouneedparts.
• Checktheoilleveleverymonth.
a) Only check the oil when the jacks are fully retracted.
b) When checking the oil level, the level should be about two to five centimetres below the filling
hole.
  c)Onlyfillthetankwhenthejacksarefullyretracted.Ifthisisdonewithextendedjacks,theoil
may overspill when they are retracted again.
• Theoilshouldbereplacedevery36months.
• Annuallychecktheelectronicconnectionsofthedriveunit.
• Regularlycleanthejacks.Dirt,sand,mudandothercontaminationsthataccumulatewhiledriving,
may limit the functionality of the system.
• Ifthejacksremainextendedforalongerperiodoftime,theexposedlegsmustbeprotectedby
weekly spraying them with a silicon lubricant. Do this every 2 or 3 days, if the camper is located in a
salty environment.
• Werecommendinjectingthecompletecylinders,includinghoseconnections,withananti-corrosive
 agent.Thislayer(e.g.tectyle)willprotectthesystemagainsterosionandrust.Thisshould
already have been done during assembly. Annual application of anti-corrosive agent to the system
will significantly increase the product’s life span. Spray when the supports are retracte.
• Annualmonitoringofrailtracksanddamagetothepistonrod.
!! Warning:Priortoallmaintenanceworkunderthecamper,youmustsecurethefrontandrearaxles
by means of blocks. If not, there will be a risk of injuries or serious accidents.
