5 Pitching the caravan
Removal:
„
Press the retaining clip (Fig. 8,3) upwards.

Pull the wheel chock (Fig. 8,4) forwards until the recesses of the wheel
chock (Fig. 8,1) are aligned with the hooks at the holder (Fig. 8,2).

5.3 Corner steadies
In order to stabilise the pitched caravan use the corner steadies fitted as
standard.
With the assistance of the jockey wheel position the pitched caravan in a hor-
izontal position. For control purposes use a small spirit level.
Crank down the corner steadies after the caravan is in an absolutely horizontal
position.
Cranking down:
„
Place the hand crank provided as standard on the hexagonal nut (Fig. 9,1)
of the corner steady (Fig. 9,2).
„
Rotate the hand crank in a clockwise direction.
The corner steady is swung downwards.

Do not use the fitted corner steadies as a vehicle jack. The corner steadies
are only for stabilising the pitched vehicle. The vehicle wheels are not to be
raised above the ground.
Z
When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the corner steadies are evenly
loaded.
Z
Before driving away, wind up the corner steadies as far as they can go.
Z
When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in order
to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
