CHASSIS
In order to retain the statutory definition of a mobile home, wheels should not be removed. However, if for any reason the wheels have been removed after siting then protect the wheel stub with grease.
We recommend that the chassis of your home is inspected annually for any signs of damage or formation of rust. The chassis underneath your home is treated with a protective coating during production. However, in time it may be necessary to re-coat the chassis with a suitable protective anti-corrosive coating such as Hammerite. This requirement will vary depending on climatic or local conditions.
Mechanical damage to the paint areas will result in a significant reduction in the paint durability. Any damage should be identified as early as possible and painted.
Routine inspection and maintenance will address any surface rust that may form. Surface rust is an aesthetic issue and does not affect the structural integrity of your home. Where rust is apparent or the protective coating requires reapplying, the area should be prepared using a wire brush or abrasive paper to remove rust and flaking paint prior to applying a new protective coating.
Should you have any concerns regarding damage or rust formation, we recommend that you seek advice from an engineer.
At no time should any adjustment be made to the jack or corner steadies without advice from the Manufacturer or Park Owner and specialists should be utilised at all time when the need to go under your home.
