Lincoln LX MK3 Installation guide

SET UP
Apply hand brake, chock wheels, use jockey wheel
to roughly level then set Stabilizer legs. Carefully
lower rear tyre support & prepare support poles for
rear bed. Flip & secure luggage rack (light load or
remove load prior if weighty) - Open up each bed
end and secure.
Inside: Start with front / rear bed end bar and
work from ends to middle. Fit tall centre pole to
velcro when you have movable space inside. Avoid
over stretching canvas. All Zippers must be closed
before nal set up to ensure easy operation. If a
zipper is sti - something is wrong with set up.
PACK UP
Please refer to pack up guide included with hand
over pack.
As above. Take care with canvas at pivot points of
poles / camper. Ensure you have removed centre
pole from velco tags and laid down behind cush-
ion. Make sure step is locked away prior to closing
lid. Always lock lid latches working from roof hinge
end to centre on both sides. Ensure spare tyre
carrier & luggage rack are locked back in place
with latch clips. For setup and packup, have kitch-
en and side compartments open to allow air in/out
- easier to open/close.

Mains 240v: Plug in your 15 amp lead (not sup-
plied) to activate all 240 volt outlets.

plugged prior to protect heating element.
*This information is based on customer questions during hand over & is simply a reminder for the initial use. Due to product de-
velopement, this may dier slightly to your purchase, so if unsure please contact your sales representative.
12 VOLT: 2 x 100 A/H battery under seat. 50 Amp
Anderson on draw bar is direct feed to batteries
via 50 amp resettable fuse. All switches have re-
set fuse standard.
Get to know power - 11.7 volt is at. Damage to
batteries by using below 12v will void warranty.
Invest in a quality AGM / GEL stage charger 20
amps or more & save battery life. Solar is good
option.
PUMP & WATER TANKS
Single 12v pump with three way selector valse to
draw water from either tank or both.
Tanks: Flush several times before rst use. Vanilla
essence will help eliminate initial taste. Drain if
storing over long period or keep full in between
use. Water lters can be purchased to go onto the
garden hose during lling.
Debri build up between bash plate & water tank
can cause damage to tank.
Always turn pump o at switches when not re-
quired.
KITCHEN
Once kitchen is opened up & support legs (under-
neath) in place there are several hoses to set up.
To use stove there is a braided gas line housed
inside to connect into gas outlet located near
kitchen. Under sink is a drain hose to place in
bucket.
- Do not pour hot water down hose. There is also a
lead for the stove light. The kitchen sink tap is a
ick mix style with both hot & cold water lines on

BASIC INFORMATION

tractor behind sink. Make sure all hoses, doors,
tap, etc are secure & clear to avoid damage when
closing.
Always turn gas o at bottle when travelling. It
is good practice to turn o whenever not being
used. When changing gas bottle there may be a
longer delay in stove ignition waiting for new gas
through line.
HOT WATER SYSTEM
The MK3 is tted with a Truma Ultrarapid gas/
electric 14L hot water system. It is important that
you read the manual & understand the operation
procedure prior to using. The cowling must be
removed to operate & always make sure unit is full
of water by engaging pump & if necessary open-
ing hot tap outlet to release air before turning on
gas ignition or 240v electric.
The shower room can be attached to the main
tent or the Annexe & the shower water outlet is
mounted at rear.
The entertainment system speakers can be faded
from external to internal to help keep neighbors
happy & it is possible to t a receiver antenna to
allow regular TV, subject to your location & signal
strength.
SERVICING
It is a requirement of warranty that regular servic-
ing of your camper is carried out. Minimum period
is initially at 1000km then yearly or every 5,000km.
Wheels: Check wheel nut torque often, especially
when using o road. Abnormal tyre wear is strong
indicator of wheel alignment issue (service).
GENERAL
A basic tool kit is a good idea in case of small
repairs EG ( at tyre). Wheel nut spanner, jack, etc.
Always make sure camper will not move when
changing tyre.
Make a check list of things you might forget when
driving o: Hand Brake, Stabilizer legs, Jockey
wheel, secured to car, etc.
Points to note
Read supplied camper trailer manuals including
HWS & pack up guide prior to rst set up. Carry
with you as you learn how to correctly set up, use
equipment & pack up your new camper. Store
trailer under cover to reduce condensation in tool-
box and body compartments - Moisture absorbent
packs are also recommended when in storage at
all times. These will help take out moisture and
odors when not in use.
When travelling o road in dusty conditions, block
door drain holes, clean vents daily and wipe away
dust from the door surrounds daily to prevent
excessive dust entry. Lower tyre pressure and
reduce speed to a maximum of 80km/hr.
Consider the terrain you will travel on and the
damage that can be caused to a trailer travelling
behind your car. Consider investing in products
such as “Stone Stomper” or “Rock Tamers”. There
are many products available to compensate for
wider tyres, lift kits etc that can increase stone
damage to your new camper.
Charge batteries monthly while in storage and
prior to going on a trip to ensure top condition.
On return from trip always air out camper, a good
clean, check over for any loose parts or corrosion
from coating wear. Check all nuts & bolts as pos-
sible & check tyre wear for uneven wear ( a sure
sign you need a wheel alignment). Keep up regular
inspections, battery maintenance & servicing to
ensure many happy years of use.
