Consider these limits and any other limiting factors while assessing/adjusting the towed vehicle's noseweight: a) Towing vehicle b) Vehicle-mounted towing device (tow bar) c) Towed vehicle-mounted towing device (coupling assembly) d) Towed vehicle drawbar assembly e) Towed vehicle

3. Measuring and Adjusting Noseweight Step-by-Step

1. Position the caravan with the hitch over a hard surface.
2. Ensure the caravan handbrake is fully engaged.
3. Remove any chocks.
4. Raise the corner steadies.
5. Raise the caravan using the jockey wheel handle to the required height for inserting the Noseweight Gauge into the hitch.
6. Ensure the Noseweight Gauge is safely located and square to the ground.
7. Turn the jockey wheel handle to lower the caravan onto the Noseweight Gauge. Continue to raise the jockey wheel so that the full noseweight is supported by the gauge.
8. Measure the noseweight and, if necessary, adjust the caravan loading to achieve the correct noseweight. Follow the caravan manufacturer's advice for load distribution.

Store the Noseweight Gauge in its storage bag, protecting it against contamination and heavy impacts.
