If you do not plan on using the caravan for a longer
period of time, you should store it with the ball coupling
closed. Also chock the wheels and leave withe the hand
brake o to prevent the brakes from sticking on (only
do this if the caravan is on level ground with the wheels
chocked to prevent it moving).

Maintaining the stabilizing device
After connecting the hitch and locking down the handle, this
engages the friction pads. You can see the condition of the friction
pads from the wear indicator:
- If the wear indicator
n
is in the green (OK) zone, the friction
pads are suitable for driving.
- If the indicator is in the yellow transition zone, the friction
pads must be replaced without delay (see Chapter 12.2
Maintenance).
- If the indicator is in the red (STOP) zone, there is no stabilizing
function. Permission to drive at 100 KPH is immediately cancelled.
Releasing the ball coupling
Wear indicator for the friction pads
Only uncouple the caravan when it is in a horizontal
position, never anywhere near uphill or downhill slopes.
If the friction pads are new, optimal shock absorption is
reached after a certain period of operation.
