Operation Manual

You should have a functional spare
tyre available at all times. Therefore,
have the spare tyre replaced without
delay.
Changing the wheel
• Set the corresponding jack* onto the axle
pipe of the swinging lever group or on the
longitudinal beam in the area of the axle
attachmentsof the wheel to be changed.
• On caravans with a double axle, always set
the jack onto the rear axle; a hydraulic jack *
is recommended.
• If the vehicle is parked on soft ground, lay
a stable reinforcement under jack* (i.e., a
board).
• Lift the vehicle until the wheel is 2 or 3 cm off
the ground.
• Reposition the ratchet jack* handle if it should
slant when you jack up the vehicle.
• Remove the wheel fastening screws and the
wheel.
• Attach the spare tyre to the hub and adjust it.
• Reattach the wheel screws and tighten them
lightly over the transversal.
• Lower the jack* and remove it.
• Tighten the wheel fatening screws evenly
with the wheel wrench. The nominal value of
the attachment torque is 110 nm for steel rims
and 120 nm for aluminium rims.
• Release the handbrake and reactivate the
stabilization system.
After changing the tyre, the wheel
screws must be examined (after a 50
km drive) to ensure that they are tight
enough (tighten if necessary).
The rotating stanchions may not be
used as a jack
*!
