in the elongated hole of the connecting sheet
with two washers (fig. 6/16) and a hexagon nut
(fig. 6/18). The space between the wheel rim
and the connecting sheet (fig. 6/5) is also set
with a self-locking nut (fig. 8/19). The spare
wheel is tightened once in the middle with the
taper clamping sleeve (fig. 6/7) and on the hole
circle with the tapered nut (fig. 6/13).
N.B. Only tighten the tapered clamp and the
tapered nut to the point where the spare wheel
sits securely on the spare wheel holder. Exces-
sive tightening can lead to damage on the wheel
(pressure points).
The two self-locking nuts (fig. 6/19), which are
set in accordance with the height of the wheel
rim, serve as a limit stop for the taper clamping
sleeve (fig. 6/7) and tapered nut (fig. 6/13).
Assembly of the add-on kit, art. no. 294284
The space between the holding plates and the
axle should be approx. 700 mm. Drill two holes
(Ø 12.5 mm), 275 mm apart, in the two parts of
the frame. The holes must be drilled in the
middle of the stay (neutral zone). Secure the
two holding plates (fig. 4/24) with two hexagon
head screws M12x25 (fig. 4/25) and self-
locking hexagon nuts M12 (fig. 4/26). Insert the
locking screw (fig. 4/9) from the inside out
through the borehole (Ø 13) in the right holding
plate. Tighten the hexagon nuts M12 (fig. 4/18).
Important note:
If this is added with two additional holding pla-
tes, the owner of the vehicle must (re)submit
the vehicle for an MOT inspection, submitting a
certificate confirming that the vehicle meets
regulations (in accordance with § 19 of the
Motor Vehicle Safety Ordinance (StVZO).
Maintenance
In order to ensure that the spare wheel holder
is working properly, the telescopic tubes must
be cleaned and greased when they are exten-
ded.
Spare parts
Spare parts are safety parts. If parts other than
original AL-KO spares are used, this will invali-
date the warranty and product liability, i.e. we,
as manufacturers, will no longer assume liabi-
lity for any faults and consequences which
occur. Do not underestimate the consequential
damages which can occur in traffic, including
injuries to people!
If repairs are required, we operate a Europe-
wide network of AL-KO service stations. If you
require a directory of service stations, this is
available directly from us. N.B. Repairs and set-
ting work may only be carried out by competent
installation firms. In order to clearly identify
spare parts, service stations require the spare
parts identification number (ETI). This is
imprinted on the attachment plate. Conse-
quently, have both codes to hand before calling
us.
