Safety warnings
Not observing the following warnings may
lead to damages to the caravan and/or
serious physical injuries.
•
Using the E&P hydraulics levelling
system for other purposes than
supporting the caravan is officially
forbidden according the E&P Hydraulics
Limited warranty.
• This product is exclusively developed as
a levelling system and may not be used
for other work under the caravan such as
changing the tyres.
• When the system is operating, all
persons and animals should keep their
distance.
• Body parts (e.g. hands and eyes) should
never come into contact with released
fluids. Oil leaving the hydraulic levelling
system may be under high pressure and
could cause serious injuries to the skin.
Consult a doctor immediately in case of
accidents.
• The caravan should be parked on a solid,
level and non-slippery surface. The
parking location must be free of holes of
waste and surrounding objects.
• If the caravan is parked on very soft soil,
you must place a support plate under
each jack in order to distribute the
weight.
• Check if the installation of the hydraulic
levelsystem is performed by a skilled
mechanic with sufficient practical
experience and technical E&P hydraulics
training.
