5.1 Handbrake
Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.
To release it, push the handbrake (Fig. 17,1) forwards.
5.2 Wheel chocks
Use the two wheel chocks even when the upward or downward gradients are
of a minimum.
5.3 Corner steadies
In order to stabilise the pitched caravan use the corner steadies fitted as
standard.
Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling.
Fig. 17 Handbrake
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.
When pitching the vehicle, ensure that the corner steadies are evenly
loaded.
Before driving away, wind up the corner steadies as far as they can go.
When the ground is soft, place a pad or block under the supports in order
to prevent the vehicle from sinking into the ground.
