NOTE: It is essential that the car and
caravan are hitched together before
commencing jacking.
All AL-KO chassis
from 1992 onwards have 2 holes punched in
the chassis members, each side (rear of the
axle); to accept the brackets for the Jack(s).
(See Accessory Price List).
Corner Steadies may be used for stability
ONLY, when the caravan is in the jacked
position.
The caravan should
never be lifted by
jacking up under the chassis member.

Spare Wheel Carriers
Each caravan has a
set of punched holes
in the chassis member to facilitate the fitting
of a spare wheel carrier. The assembly is of a
strong, lightweight construction and zinc
plated for all-weather protection.
There are 3 variants to
suit most AL-KO
chassis (record your
tyre size on this
booklet for future
reference).
The carriers can be
fitted for left or right
hand operation and are easy to fit.
The telescopic frame tubes should be
lubricated periodically.
