ON THE ROAD

Maintenance

The E&P Hydraulics levelsystem does not have
parts that need to be maintained periodically.
When parts have been taken apart, the
warranty will become invalid. If necessary, parts
could be substituted, repaired and/or
exchanged (warranty).

WARNING: In control/service work secure
the caravan by placing suitable stands
under the caravan. By not doing this you
create a real danger of personal injury or
serious accident.

Preventative Controls

•

Periodically checking the hydraulic oil level.
(ONLY by dealer/installer)

The hydraulic oil (type: Pentosin CHF

11S) preventative replace after approx.. 36
months.

•

Periodically check the electronic cables and
connections.

•

Periodically check the hydraulic jacks.

Remove dirt, sand, mud and other
contamination that settles during use, it
may obstruct the operation of the
hydraulic levelling 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 caravan is
located in a salty environment.

•

In winter (slippery) conditions we advise
you to take additional safety and
precautionary measures. Especially
because your safety during operation of
the system. For optimal performance
under extreme conditions (-30 degrees)
we recommend the use of a special
hydraulic oil for low temperatures
(consult an authorized dealer).

Furthermore, during the winter period we
have to deal with situations in which de-icing
salt will tack to the outside of the system.
Preventative maintenance should be:

Good cleaning of the jacks.

Clean the stainless steel cylinder
(piston rod) and spray with a silicone
lubricant.

Remove dirt from the stainless steel
foot plate (especially at the bottom,
this is the area your caravan stands
on)

Try to put the caravan in a location as
clean and flat as possible.

Place a piece of rubber (e.g. piece of
carpet) between the frozen (slippery)
surface and the footplate.

Before leaving make an additional
check round the caravan, if
necessary remove snow and ice from
the jacks, then you are free to
withdraw the jacks.
