You have just become the owner of a RACLET trailer tent.

This model has been strictly controlled at every stage of manufacturing.

In order to ensure you full satisfaction and many pleasant moments of relaxation, we advise you to read carefully the following instructions.

BEFORE TAKING THE ROAD

CHECK

• Tyre pressure (correct pressure is indicated on the trailer body.
• That wheel mounting nuts are tight (the tightening torque shall be verified after 25 to 40 km, after 100 km and then periodically).
• That all lighting and signalling equipment functions properly.
• Loading (the maximum authorized weight under load must
  not be exceeded). See that load is properly distributed (a bearing pressure of approximately 20 kg on auto coupling gear).
• That caravan coupling head is firmly secured to the coupling sphere of your auto.

ON THE HIGHWAY

• MAINTAIN a sufficient DISTANCE from the vehicle in front of you.
• When OVERTAKING do not forget when pulling back into your lane that the length of your vehicle is increased by that of the caravan.

And HAVE A GOOD TRIP!

TO ERECT

1 - Detach and bring trailer into position.
2 - Using the crank, lower stabilizer legs making sure that trailer is horizontal. If ground is soft place extra pads under the stabilizer shoes.
3. - Remove cover; spread underneath one of the platforms (it will provide a means of waterproof storage).
4 - Open out the sleeping platforms.

Automatic Fold-out

First swing out the left platform, then the right. Both platforms are supported by adjustable telescopic bars to ensure a horizontal sleeping surfaces. The canvas is firmly attached to the two platforms and opens out with its framework.

5 - Enter the center part of the caravan and force the roof bar upwards; it will automatically lock into position. The sliding parts (black spherical heads) provide a rapid means of adjustment.

6 - Close door in tenting and stake latter to ground.

The bedding is ready for an overnight stop!

TO ERECT AWNING

• “AUTOMATIC” ALUMINIUM AWNING FRAME
- Unfold the framework according to the notes on the reverse of the plan.
- Position the sliding metal pieces along the ridge poles, over the folding joints. (Adjust the uprights (legs) to their minimum position).
- Take the awning canvas out of the bag and lay it on the ground. Position the main zips towards the trailer cabin. Slide the awning canvas over the frame. Connect the awning zips to the trailer cabin zips. (To assist you, attach the centre awning frame hook into the cabin frame). Raise the uprights (legs) to a higher position.
- Use the tie-tapes to fasten the canvas to the frame. Adjust the tension using the ridge pole adjustments. (Ensure the framework is centrally positioned with respect to the roof canvas reinforcing). Finally adjust the uprights to achieve a suitable « set » of the canvas.

• STEEL AWNING FRAME

• Lay out the different framework elements on the ground (see diagram attached).
• Remove canvas from bag, spread out on ground with junction slide enclosures facing caravan. Attach awning ridge elements to main caravan ridge bar. Tie cloth retainers and adjust the tension of the tenting by means of sliding framework elements. Adjust the height of the feet.
  • Completely close awning and stake tending to ground.

IMPORTANT: A protective flap is provided to shelter the zippers; make sure it is correctly positioned.

- If your caravan is equipped with a ceiling lining, attach it starting from the center and stake side drops to the ground.
