Unhitching - Bailey Pursuit Owner's Manual

9. UNHITCHING

Do not pitch in a position in which your outfit
will obstruct other people.
Try to choose an area that is dry, reasonably
level and preferably with a hard base.
If you have no alternative but to pitch on a
slope ensure that, for when you leave, you are
facing down the slope.
It is good practice to chock the wheels of the
caravan when parked on a slope even though
the caravan brakes are applied.
Fully apply the caravan handbrake.
Un-clamp and lower the jockey wheel to the
ground.
Re-clamp it in this position. Operate the
button on the hitch head and move the handle
forward to release the mechanism. Operate
the jockey wheel handle until the coupling
head is clear of the towing ball.
Serious damage will occur unless the
!
button is depressed first and the
handle lifted forward before the
caravan is lifted manually. This
prevents the nose weight being
transmitted through the button.
Re-clamp jockey wheel if necessary.
Disconnect the secondary braking cable.
Disconnect the 13 pin plug and return it to its
holder.
Replace towball cover.
Park your vehicle alongside the caravan on the
offside.
