3.8 Overrunning brake
facilities
The brake system must be inspected after driv-
ing 1,000 km. If the tension ball coupler can be
pushed in by hand to more than a third of the
usable overrunning path (approx. 30 mm), the
brake facilities must be adjusted. These proce-
dures should be repeated every 5,000 km, but at
least once a year.
When driving downhill on a mountain
pass, check to ensure that the bra-
kes are cooled sufciently. Put the
base vehicle into a lower gear and
drive downhill at slow speed. Stretch
the trailer combination as often as
possible to avoid continuous bufng
by the camper. Always make use of
parking areas and passing points to
give the brakes a chance to cool off.
