SAFTEY INSTRUCTIONS
Guidance on pitching given in this user guide is only general. As the topography of
pitches can vary greatly it is important that you fully assess the risks related to any
individual pitch and take appropriate precautions.
➢Always ensure the handbrake is on, the opposite wheels chocked and the wheel
lock fitted before inflating the LocknLevel.
➢Do not use the LocknLevel if it has been damaged in any way.
➢When inflating the device, NEVER exceed 30 psi (2.0 bar) pressure.
➢ALWAYS keep your face clear of the airflow when deflating your LocknLevel.
➢Always keep all body parts clear of the LocknLevel while deflating, until the
wheel has settled on the ground.
➢Do not operate or allow others to operate the LocknLevel until the user
understands all instructions.
➢Never reach under any caravan that is supported only by the LocknLevel.
➢Do not use a LocknLevel for anything other than its intended purpose. Doing so
may damage the LocknLevel or lead to property damage, injury or death.
➢The LocknLevel should not be operated by children.
➢This user guide is a supplement to and does not replace your trailer owner’s
manual. Always follow the instructions given in your trailer owner’s manual
relating to coupling and uncoupling procedures.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Your LocknLevel is suitable for use on all caravan and camping site surfaces,
including hard standings. It is also suitable for most other terrain; provided the
surface is firm.
➢Ensure there are no sharp objects under the LocknLevel, or trapped in your tyre
treads which could puncture it. We recommend that you always place a
protective non-absorbent mat underneath.
➢Avoid driving over the valve assembly and keep it clean.
➢The LocknLevel is designed for touring use and is not recommended for seasonal
pitching.
➢Do not expose the LocknLevel to oil, solvents, excessive heat or a naked flame.
➢The bolts on your LocknLevel have been precisely set to the correct tightness. Do
not attempt to disassemble.
➢Do not twist or turn the inflation valves against the body of the LocknLevel.
➢To avoid the risk of the ‘locks binding’ the deflation process should be the reverse
of the inflation.
➢Always remove moisture, mud and grit from your LocknLevel before storing it in
its bag.
➢Never fold too close to the valves when storing. See Lowering the Caravan
sections for the correct way to fold your LocknLevel.
Instructions for Use
Please visit our website for demonstrational videos www.locknlevel.co.uk
We recommend use of a standard 12-volt electric tyre pump with a pressure
indicator to inflate your LocknLevel (not included).

SINGLE AXLE
Setting Up
Move the caravan or trailer tent onto your chosen pitch and if using a through-the-
wheel lock, stop when the wheel is in the correct position to fit your lock.
You will not fit the lock yet, but this will ensure correct positioning to do so.
Lay the LocknLevel on the ground next to the wheel with the centre of the long edge
(indicated with a short line) aligned with the centre of the wheel. The valve should be
on the edge closest to you.
Roll the caravan or trailer forward until you can slide the LocknLevel inwards to a
position immediately behind the tyre.
Ensure that:-
➢The front edge is touching the tyre tread.
➢The tyre tread is lined up with the centre of the LocknLevel.
➢The LocknLevel is straight, fore-and-aft.
6
Reverse the caravan or trailer back onto the LocknLevel, stopping when the wheel is
in the centre of the device and again in the correct position for fitting the through-
the-wheel lock if applicable. (See photo below) Fit the through-the-wheel lock.
Levelling the Caravan
Chock both the opposite wheel and jockey wheel to prevent movement of the van.
Place your spirit level across the caravan or trailer floor (or worktop) in the usual
way.
Attach a standard tyre pump to the inlet valve (the short valve with the plastic cap)
on your LocknLevel and inflate until the caravan or trailer is level laterally. This will
normally happen between 8 - 30 psi (0.5 - 2 bar)
NEVER EXCEED 30 psi (2.0 bar).
You have now achieved both locking and lateral levelling - Detach the pump, replace
the plastic dust cap on the valve. Continue your set-up by levelling the vehicle front-
to-back using the jockey wheel and lower the steadies in the normal way.
Note. If raising the off side for level and using a through-the-wheel lock follow the
alignment process above, but place your LocknLevel against the off-side wheel.
Note the pressure that was needed to achieve level and re-check the pressure
weekly, topping up if needed.

VERY IMPORTANT!
Before proceeding ensure that there are no obstacles under the caravan or trailer
which might prevent the vehicle settling safely to the ground.
Ensure that the handbrake is on and the jockey and non-lifted wheel are chocked
and unable to move.
Raise the steadies or other supports before deflating.
Deflate the LocknLevel by loosening the silver cap on the longer deflation valve a
couple of turns (no need to remove the cap fully), keeping your face clear
.
The
caravan/trailer will settle gently back on the ground.
Remove your wheel lock and chocks and move the caravan or trailer off the
LocknLevel.
Expel the excess air from the LocknLevel before you tighten both of the valve caps
to a moderate 'finger tightness'. If necessary, clean and dry the LocknLevel before
placing it in its storage bag.
To fold the LocknLevel, hold it flat with the valve towards you. Make the first fold
from right to left so that the valve is inverted. Then fold the left side back over the
top.
Lowering the Caravan

TWIN AXLE
Setting Up
Move the caravan onto your chosen pitch and stop when the rear wheel is in the
correct position to fit the rear 'through-the-wheel' lock.
You will not fit the lock yet, but this will ensure correct positioning to do so.
Lay the LocknLevel on the ground alongside the wheels with the small yellow cross
line on the rear section in line with the centre of the wheel and with the valves
towards you.
Roll the caravan forward until you can slide the LocknLevel inwards to a position
immediately behind the rear tyre. Make sure that the front edge is touching the tyre
tread. The tyre tread is lined up with the centre of the LocknLevel.
The LocknLevel is straight, fore-and-aft
Reverse the caravan over the LocknLevel, stopping in its original position (with the
small yellow cross in line with the centre of the rear wheel, making sure that the
tyre tread is central along the length of the LocknLevel) and again in the correct
position for fitting the rear 'through-the-wheel' lock. Fit the rear wheel lock.
Chock both the jockey wheel and the off- side wheels to prevent movement of your
van. If your caravan is still coupled to the tow-car, it should be un-hitched. If using a
motor-mover disengage it before proceeding.
9
Ensure that the yellow automatic balance valve is in
the closed position and attach your tyre pump to the
inflation valve on the right (Plastic cap).
ALWAYS inflate your LocknLevel from the right-hand valve. (Black Plastic cap)
Start to inflate the LocknLevel, noting that only the segment under the locked wheel
will inflate at this stage. Continue inflation until the caravan has lifted high enough
to allow you to rotate the unlocked front wheel. This will normally happen between
18-30 psi (1.5 –2.0 bar).
NEVER EXCEED 30 psi (2.0 bar)
You can now fit the second 'through-the-wheel' lock.
With both wheels locked, turn the yellow automatic balance valve to the open
position. Air will then transfer from the rear section to the front, until the pressure is
equal in both sections.
