Corner Steadies
Corner Steadies are as stated, for the purpose
of steadying the caravan corners. They are
NOT JACKS AND SHOULD NEVER BE
USED AS SUCH. The screw and pivot pins
should be lubricated periodically to ensure
their satisfactory operation. (See also Jack
Operation).
Shock Absorbers
All AL-KO chassis have pre-punched holes to
accommodate Shock Absorbers, in front of
the axle. On the Euro-Axle System, axle swing
arms have a removable rectangular plastic
cap exposing a slot to accommodate retro-fit
brackets for the Octagon Shock Absorbers.
Delta Axles have Shock Absorbers fitted as
standard which MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
Road Wheels
The condition of wheels and tyres should be
checked regularly, particularly for distortion
of flanges and the wheel dish. Wheels that
are damaged or distorted, or have wheel bolt
seatings cracked or deformed must not be
repaired or used in service - these must be
replaced.
!
WARNING:
The torque settings should
be re-checked regularly.
Jacks
The Corner Steadies Should never be used to
jack up the caravan. When jacking becomes
necessary use the AL-KO Side Lift Jack or
2-Tonne Jack system.
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).
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.
Side Lift Jack
2 Tonne Jack
If working under the caravan in an elevated
position, axle stands must be used for safety.
Wheel chocks for the opposite wheel(s) are
also advisable.
Jockey Wheel
Lubricate screw thread and wheel
spindle periodically.
