Use the two wheel chocks even when the upward or downward gradients are of a
minimum. The wheel chocks are located respectively in the gas bottle compart-
ment of the caravan.
Removal:
 Swivel the retaining clip (Fig. 14,2) down.

6.3 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 horizontal
position. For control purposes use a small spirit level.
Crank down the corner steadies after the caravan is in an absolutely horizontal
position.

Z 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 load is placed evenly on the corner
steadies.
Z Before driving away, turn in the corner steadies upwards completely until they
stop.
Z When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under corner steadies in order to
prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
Z Do not lubricate the spindle of the corner steadies. Spray corner steady with
conventional Teflon spray.
