6.1 Handbrake
Firmly apply the handbrake when parking the vehicle.
In order to release it, press the securing button (Fig. 15,2) and lower the hand-
brake (Fig. 15,1).
6.2 Wheel chocks
Use the two wheel chocks even when the upward or downward gradients are
of a minimum. The wheel chocks are situated on the underside in the front of
the caravan.
Pitch the vehicle so that it is as horizontal as possible. Secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling.
Animals (especially mice) can cause great damage to the interior of the
vehicle. To prevent this from happening, regularly check the vehicle for
damages or animal traces after pitching.
Fig. 15 Handbrake
Prior to releasing the handbrake, lift the handbrake slightly. This enables
the securing button which is subjected to spring pressure to be pushed in
more lightly.
If there is any risk of frost, release the handbrake every now and then and
apply it again. This will prevent it from freezing or rusting. Prior to releasing
the handbrake, secure the vehicle so that is cannot roll away.
