ON THE ROAD

ARRIVAL ON SITE
Note:
Check and observe site regulations.
1.
Selecting a pitch.
Do not pitch in such a position that your outfit
will obstruct others coming in.
Try to choose an area which is dry,
reasonably level and preferably with a hard
base.
If you have no alternative but to pitch on a
slope ensure that, for when you leave, you
are facing down the slope.
It is good practice to chock the wheels of the
caravan when parked on a slope even
though the caravan brakes are applied.
STOPPING ON A HILL
Pulling off again can sometimes present a
problem. The easy solution is:
(i)
Carry a good sized wedge shaped piece
of wood with a rope or light chain
attached.
(ii) Attach the other end of the rope to the
nearside rear grab handle.
(iii) Place the wood behind the nearside
caravan wheel.
(iv) Carefully reverse the car slightly back
down the hill, the caravan will stop
against the wedge and turn.
(v) Drive forward since this attempt to move
up the hill will now not involve pulling the
full weight of the caravan until the car
has gained some traction.
Ramps
Take care to prevent fouling when traversing
ramps or other ground obstacles.
THE E&P HYDRAULICS LEVELSYSTEM
Operation
The E&P hydraulics levelling system is an
electrically/hydraulically driven system.
A hydraulic pump is powered by a 12V direct
current motor, which will pump hydraulic oil
through a system of hydraulic hoses, two
hydraulic axle-supports and four hydraulic
corner-supports. This with the aim of stabilising
and levelling the caravan. Mounted to this pump
are the oil reservoir, the valve block and
solenoid (magnetic) valves.
The E&P hydraulics level system is
electronically controlled by an operating system
or so called main unit, which is mounted on a
central location in the caravan.
The level system can be operated either fully
automatically or manually by means of a built-in
control panel and/or (optional) remote control.
In most frequent cases the control panel is
mounted in the sidewall at the entrance of the
caravan.
The jacks have the bearing and levelling
capacity your caravan requires. Each axle
supports has a 180 mm stainless steel foot
plate on a flexible pivot guaranteeing the
greatest firmness possible on any surface.
Using the hydraulic levelsystem
The levelling system is only to be used for
creating a stable and horizontal position for the
caravan.
