This jack is designed for
lifting purposes only.
After jacking, always use safety stands to
support load before making any repairs. For
your safety, do not overload beyond rated
capacity and do not adjust safety valve.
1. The chassis brackets are suitable for
AL-KO caravan chassis manufactured
after 1992 that have pre-drilled mounting
holes already on the chassis.
2. The chassis brackets should be mounted,
behind the axles on both sides. The
brackets are marked ‘OFF-SIDE’ for
installation on the ‘driver’s’ side of
the caravan when hitched and
‘NEAR-SIDE’ for installation on the door
side (UK) of the caravan. The brackets can
be installed onto continental caravans by
reversing the brackets.
3. 2 sets of bolts, washers and nylock
nuts are supplied for fixing the
brackets onto both sides of the caravan.
4. Please refer to Diagram A.
Working on the outside of the chassis
face, line-up the holes on one of the
outer brackets (6) with the pre-drilled
chassis holes and insert the bolts with
washers through the apertures. For
KJ4000T only: Locate one of the inner
brackets (7) over the ends of the bolts
onto the inside face of the chassis.
Note: The bolt heads and washers
must be on the outside of the chassis
with the nylock nuts on the inside.
5. Screw on the nylock nuts and tighten
securely. Ensure that the brackets
are, as close as possible, at 90° degrees
to the horizontal floor of the caravan.
Careful fitting at this stage, ensures that
the spirit levels will give a true reading to
aid accurate levelling.
6. Repeat the procedure to fit the remaining
bracket(s) to the opposite side.
Ensure that the bolts are sufficiently
tightened up to 86Nm.
1. The inclusion of 2 spirit level vials per
bracket (one for the length of the
caravan and one for width) provides
the caravanner with accurate guidance
in determining and adjusting the level
of the caravan.
2. With the aid of the easy to use hydraulic
jack, the level of the caravan can be
adjusted simply and chocked accordingly
with suitable platforms.
1. Before jacking, the caravan must be
attached to the towing vehicle and the
handbrake must be applied on both
the caravan and the vehicle.
2. Chock the caravan wheels (back & front)
on the opposite side to the wheels to
be lifted/changed. Place the jack
in-line with the bracket on the side of the
caravan to be raised. If the ground
surface is soft, a board, plank or similar
should be placed underneath the jack.
Only use the jack on a flat, hard
surface.
Gloves should be used to avoid
hand injury.
3. Tighten release valve on base of jack
by turning the valve (4) clockwise,
do not overtighten.
4. Insert the operating handle (5) into the
handle socket (1) and pump the handle
up and down until the slotted saddle (2)
is aligned with the base of the chassis
bracket (6).
5. Once correctly aligned, continue to pump
handle to raise the caravan to the
required height. Use smooth, full strokes
for best results.
6. To lower the caravan, remove the handle
(5) from the handle socket (1), then use the
notched end of the handle to turn the
release valve (4),
carefully and slowly,
anti-clockwise -
no more than one full
turn.
