Chapter 2 CARAVAN & TOW VEHICLE
The final positioning should be carried out by maneuvering the caravan
by hand.
Carefully release the caravan handbrake.
Manoeuvre the caravan by hand to position the caravan’s tow hitch
directly over the car’s tow ball.
Caution: always manoeuvre the caravan by pushing /pulling on the grab handles
only. Not the body panels.
Raise the handle on the caravan tow hitch until it clicks and remains at an
angle.
Rotate the jockey wheel handle clockwise to lower the caravan hitch onto
the car’s tow ball. When the tow hitch clicks and the handle drops to the
horizontal position it is engaged. The hitch head is fitted with a visual
indicator on the front radius to show whether or not it is properly
connected to the tow ball. A green band will show immediately below
the red indicator button on the hitch head when a proper connection has
been made.
Connect secondary braking cable as per the instructions in the previous
section.
Test that the hitch is now fully engaged by slightly raising caravan hitch
from car tow ball by winding the jockey wheel handle anti-clockwise.
The hitch should not release from the car tow ball. Only raise the rear of
the car enough to check the hitch is fully engaged.
Turn jockey wheel winding handle to lower caravan. When the wheel is
fully retracted, release the clamp and raise the jockey wheel to its travel
position.
Once the jockey wheel is at its travel position and the wheel is located in
the recess in the hitch cover tighten clamp again.
