1. Introduction
Our caravans are continuously being further developed. Please un-
derstand that we reserve the right to make changes to their equip-
ment, shape and technology. Therefore, Fendt shall not be liable for
any claims arising from the contents of this handbook. The equip-
ment used at the time of printing is described in this handbook and
should be transferred accordingly to the layouts of all the dierent
caravan variations.
Please understand that we cannot describe all of the individual vari-
ations. Your dealer will be pleased to answer any special questions
regarding the equipment and technology of your caravan.Check
our website www.fendt-caravan.com to nd the Fendt caravan
dealer or service partner closest to you.
Your Fendt caravan has been built in accordance with the latest
technology and recognised safety regulations. This vehicle con-
forms to the EN 1645-1 standard.
Despite all of these safety measures, it is possible that people may
be hurt or the caravan damaged if the safety instructions in this
handbook and the warnings posted on adhesive labels in the cara-
van are not followed.
1.1 General information

2.1 General information
Warnings and information labels are attached both in-
side and outside the vehicle. These are meant for your
safety and may not be removed.
Emergency equipment
To be prepared for an emergency, you need at least three basic items
of rescue equipment (rst aid kit, warning triangle and re extinguisher)
which you should carry at all times and know how to use.
- rst aid kit
- warning triangle
- high-visibility vest
Fire prevention measures
• Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
• Keep ammable materials away from all heating and cooking
appliances.
• Changes to the electrical system, gas system or built-in devices
may only be carried out by professional, authorised workshops.
• Place a re extinguisher at the main entry door.
• Ensure that everyone is familiar with the guidelines on the re
extinguisher.
• Place a re cover near the gas cooker.
• Keep all escape routes clear.
• Ensure that everyone is familiar with the re prevention
measures on site.
Keys
The following keys are provided with the caravan:
- Two keys which t into the following locks:
- entry door,
- service aps,
- toilet ap.
- gas-bottle container lid

2. Safety
Smoke detector
The base for the smoke detector has already been installed in a
suitable place on the ceiling. To operate it, put the battery in (ma-
king sure that plus and minus are in the right direction) and fasten
the smoke detector to the base by turning it. The system has been
tted with a safety feature. If there is no battery or the battery has
not been put in correctly, the smoke detector will not t into the hol-
ding clamp. Test the device regularly (we recommend once a week)
or whenever you rst use the caravan after it has been unused for
a longer period of time, following the procedure described under
‚Test‘.
Test
Press the test button for at least 4 seconds until the alarm goes o.
This will activate a self-test program. The alarm goes o when the
electronic system (horn and battery) is working.
Exchanging the battery
Energy for the smoke detector system is provided by a 9-volt batte-
ry. The system will not work without a battery. Insert a new battery,
ensuring it is the correct type, when you hear the battery‘s warning
signal (a „peeping“ sound, easily heard, that is repeated every 30-40
seconds for approx. 7 days).
Evacuation plan
Hold a meeting with your family to discuss the possibilities for eva-
cuating the caravan. Everyone who uses the caravan should know
what to do in case re breaks out.
Please observe the manufacture‘s operating instruc-
tions.
What to do when the alarm goes o?
Leave the caravan immediately, either through the door or a win-
dow, depending on where the re has broken out, following the
evacuation plan you have discussed. Every second counts! Do not
waste any time getting dressed or packing your valuables, etc.As
soon as you are outside the caravan, keep moving until you are a
safe distance away from it. Notify the re department immediately
from a neighbour‘s telephone or use your cell phone. Do not, un-
der any circumstances, go back inside the burning caravan. Shout
loudly to warn any neighbouring caravans parked within the safety
zone. Do not enter the caravan until the re department has given
you permission to do so.
A smoke detector will not prevent res or put them out.
If it is working properly, it will merely provide you with
those possibly decisive seconds to save yourself and
notify emergency services.

2. Safety
2.2 Before the drive
Exterior
Go around the carriage and prepare for the drive as follows:
Preparation of the vehicle
• The caravan must be hitched properly (see guidelines for the
safety hitch AKS3004).
• Release the handbrake for the caravan and place the contact-
breaking cable around the ball neck of the permanently atta-
ched tow coupling. If the tow coupling is detachable,
the contact-breaking cable must be hooked into the eyelet
provided on towing bracket the for that purpose.
• Tighten the tire bolts after driving the rst 50 km.
• Plug the 13-channel plug in the socket of the base vehicle.
• Inspect the vehicle lighting.
• Turn the winding stanchions up.
• Turn the front landing wheel up into its correct position (see pic-
ture), then lock and secure it. This must not interfere with the
function of the brake linkage or the contact-breaking cable.
• Turn o the gas bottles and secure them (heating is forbidden
while driving) Exception: using a licensed gas ow monitor
(e.g. Truma-Duo-Control CS)
• Empty the waste water tank.
• Close gas bottle compartment.
• Adjust outer mirrors on base vehicle.
• Check caravan's tire pressure (see tire pressure table).
• Close all windows.
• Close the service aps.
• Close and rmly lock roof bonnet.
• Shut o the light on the outer tent.
• Close and secure entry door.
• If necessary, pull the electrical cord to the 230 V mains supply
out of the exterior socket.
• If necessary, pull the television antenna inward as far as possi-
ble or fold over the satellite dish.
• If necessary, secure all bicycles and lash them to prevent slip
page, ensuring that they do not cover any lighting equipment.
• In winter, the roof must be free of snow and ice before you
begin to drive.
As the owner and driver, you are responsible for the condition of your
vehicle. Therefore, you must note the following points:
Please note that in some countries the safety line must
be attached to an eyelet or bracket that is securely
mounted on the car. In these countries, it is not suci-
ent to simply wrap it around the ball neck. Doing so will
be penalised by an administrative ne. Please inform
yourself in good time before beginning your journey
about the legal regulations in the countries you plan on
driving through.
Post a list with all signicant weights and measurements
of the carriage in a highly visible place in the base vehicle.

2. Safety
Interior
You must also prepare the interior of the vehicle.
Preparing the interior
• Sort all loose objects and store them in their respective com-
partments.
• Heavy and/or voluminous objects (e.g. TV/ radio) should be
stored safely and secured against slipping.
• If necessary, redirect refrigerator to 12-volt operation.
• Shut o all interior lighting.
• Ensure that all uids, including those in refrigerator, are secured
to prevent leakage.
• Close main valve on gas container and quick-close valves on all
gas-powered appliances.
• Close all doors (incl. refrigerator door), drawers and aps tightly.
• Latch the sliding door.
• Lower table and secure it.
Staying in the caravan during the drive is prohibi-
ted by law!
Rules for loading
• Spread the load evenly between the left and right-hand side of
the caravan. Heavy or bulky objects belong in the lower storage
compartments and near the axle.
• If your caravan has a tandem axle: distribute the centre of
weight between the two axles.
• Never focus the load in the caravan to the rear (danger of
swinging back and forth).
• Heavy objects should be stowed securely to prevent them from
slipping.
• Lighter objects (clothing) should be stowed in the wall cupboards.
• You may not always be able to follow the recommended
stowing arrangement, because storage possibilities are distri-
buted throughout the entire interior of the caravan. If necessary,
stow heavy objects in the base vehicle.
• Store baggage in the interior in cupboards and storage com-
partments.
• Secure doors and aps.
• After loading, check total weight and axle load(s) at a public
weigh station.
The gross vehicle weight rating indicated in the vehi-
cle documents as well as the permitted drawbar load
may not be exceeded. Also note the permissible
drawbar load of your base vehicle.
Providing your base vehicle permits this and depen-
ding on the size of the caravan, you can improve the
driving quality by increasing the drawbar load.
The max. permissible load for the left and right wheels
each equals half the value (for a single axle) and one-
quarter of the value (for vehicles with a tandem axle)
respectively of the technically max. permissible maxi-
mum weight.
