JACKING
Under no circumstances should the corner
steadies be used to jack up the caravan.
When it is necessary to jack up, use a bottle,
screw, trolley or scissor type jack, one with
an axle shaped head is recommended.
Place the jack plate under the axle tube as
near as possible to the main longitudinal
member. The maximum mass which the
jockey wheel and its clamping mechanism
are capable of withstanding is 150kgs.

thread.
