Page 14 Brakes and Wheels: An easily made error is to drive off and leave the parking brake on. Our practice at Kimberley is that the driver has responsibility to check the locks, brakes and trailer connection before departing. You should check 100% on the connection to the vehicle and that the PARKING Brake is off before departing.
Page 15 1. Selection of Tyres The VIN Plate on your Kimberley will state the Rim and Tyre size as delivered. There are Wheel sizes and Tyres Sizes and Types that are recommended. If wheels and tyres outside of these recommendations are fi tted, it will void the warranty.

You must use a digital multimeter that shows at least one and preferable 2 decimal points. Please do the check as follows.
Page 19 Hitching Up Your Kimberley Towing Hitch Your Kimberley is fi tted with a TREG off-road hitch as standard. You may have upgraded the hitch to an alternative style and brand ie. DO35 or McHitch, for more detailed information about using these hitches see the following pages for instructions.

Page 25 (whichever applies). The tow-ball weight varies signifi cantly with the distribution of the load you add to your Kimberley. Your vehicle and tow bar must be capable of these requirements and the height of the tow bar tongue should be approx. 520mm (1 ft 8.5 in) when the Kimberley is attached.
Page 26 4. Calculate the towball weight by subtracting B from A 5. Load your Kimberley as you intend for your trip and repeat the above process to ensure you do not exceed Towball weight for your vehicle and ATM / GVWR for your Kimberley.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that the jack with your vehicle will safely lift your Kimberley at the swing-arm points. Accessing the Spare Tyre: The spare tyre is located underneath between the suspension swingarms.
Page 34 Water crossings When performing water crossings where the water level is above your Kimberley axles the following precautions need to be taken to avoid any damage to your Diesel Hot Water System or Diesel Space Heater System 1. Create a water-tight seal over heater exhaust outlets. If you are travelling through the water, it is fi ne.
Page 35 If your Kimberley has an on-board compressor, you can remotely control your air suspension using the included Remote Control Fob. This Fob is synced to your Kimberley at the factory. If you need to re-connect, see the Manufacturers Instructions for this system included in your owners satchel.

Page 65 Energy System | How to charge your Batteries There are 3 main ways to charge the batteries in your Kimberley. We recommend that you fully charge your batteries before any trip FROM AN AC POWER SUPPLY AND CHECK EVERYTHING IS OPERATIONAL.
Page 66 If your vehicle doesn’t produce at least 14V at the charge cable you may need to install the optional 12V - 12V DC - DC Charge Booster in your Kimberley. This ensures your batteries receive suffi cient voltage for correct charging whilst you are driving. This unit also functions as a solar controller as needed.
Page 67 1. Dual or triple battery isolation. Kimberley highly recommends a “simple” charging system from the Vehicle to Trailer. We recommend you get your Auto-electrician to wire up the charge lead from the alternator through a 50 amp fuse direct to the back of the vehicle for Anderson Plug input.

Page 73 By stopping at 50%, you always have a reserve. Our energy calculations on how long the battery system will last is based on going to a reserve level of 33% (midway approx between the ideal state and the bare minimum). ©2021 Kimberley Kampers Manufacturing Pty Ltd...
Page 74 As part fo the Smart Touch system, the Kimberley features a Battery Monitoring display. This shows battery voltage and amps fl owing into and out of a battery. Most importantly, it will calculate the amp-hours used during discharging and during charging it will compute the amp-hours returned to the batteries.
Page 75 When Master Power Switch is turned OFF, the only power connection to the batteries that is still active is the Electronic Brake control unit. Kimberley recommend you leave the unit plugged into AC power all the time IF THIS IS ELECTRICALLY SAFE TO DO.

Page 91 Braking System Kimberley operates only two types of braking systems on all their trailers. All our products operate hydraulic disk brakes with custom built KK Callipers. An electronic disc braking system may be fi tted to your Kimberley. This system provides faster braking response for reduced stopping distance and has the added advantage of providing in-car control of the brakes.
Page 92 When optioned with the electronic disc braking system, a Carlisle Electric/Hydraulic actuator is used. Use of an approved in-cab brake controller is required for operation of the brakes. Kimberley have had good results using both the Redarc Tow-Pro and Tekonsha Voyager brake controllers. If you have the Optional ‘WiTi Wireless Trailer Plug Connection’...

Page 113 Shock Absorbers Shock absorbers can be the most vulnerable part on your Kimberley to wear and tear. They are also critical to the ease of towing. The shock absorbers stabilise the ride of the Kimberley in traditional road conditions.
