Hitching up
Wind up the corner steadies to the fully
retracted position.
Wind up the jockey wheel to raise the
hitch to the above height of the towing
vehicle ball. Remove ball cover.
(It is an advantage to have a person
standing by the caravan to direct the
driver of the towing vehicle to place the
vehicle in the correct position).
Reverse the towing vehicle so that the
towing ball is just under the
caravan hitch.
Operating Instructions – AKS 3004
The AKS 3004 stabiliser fitted to your
caravan has 4 special friction pads,
which suppress both snaking and
pitching and it is essential that the
tow ball is kept completely clean as
contaminated pads will reduce
its effectiveness.
The maximum vertical static load for
this coupling is 100kg and must not be
exceeded. However, the vertical static
load on the towing vehicle may be less
than this (check with towing vehicle
manufacturer). Whichever is the least
must not be exceeded.
