The rotating stanchions may only be used for sup-
port, and not for leveling out or raising.
Brakes should be checked for the rst time or basic maintenance
should be carried out after driving 500 km, but no later than after
the rst six months, depending on which event occurs rst!
• Check the brakes and adjust them if necessary
Not applicable for brakes with automatic adjustment
(e.g. AL-KO-AAAPremium Brake )
3.5 Rotating stanchions The rotating stanchions are located in the front and rear under the
caravan.
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 caravan from sinking.
• Turn the rotating stanchions outward.
Turning the rotating stanchions inward
• With the crank, turn the rotating stanchions inward to the hori-
zontal position.
The crank for the rotating stanchions is located in the bottle con-
tainer at the front; it is clipped into a holder.
Check the brakes every 5,000 km or 12 months
• Check the brakes; if necessary, replace the brake pads.
• Adjust the brake pads.
Service the brakes every 10,000 km or 24 months
• Major brake inspection according to manufacturer’s specications.
Here is a brief summary of the most important aspects to ensure
that the caravan’s brakes operate safely:
• Ensure that the maximum load is not exceeded.
• It is imperative that the caravan and its components are
handled carefully and in a professional manner.
• The brakes can only function correctly if maintenance and up-
keep are carried out on a regular basis.
The AAA Premium Brakes are not self-cleaning, nor are
they maintenance free!
Maintenance intervals must be observed!
These intervals are reduced if the brakes are subjected
to heavy loads.
