CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN

JACKING

Under no circumstances should the corner
steadies be used to jack up the caravan.

Place the jack plate under the axle tube as
near as possible to the main longitudinal
member. The maximum mass which the
jockey wheel and its clamping mechanism
are capable of withstanding is 150kgs.
