PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

AKS STABILISER
(where fitted)
This model of stabiliser has 4 special friction
pads, which suppress both snaking and
pitching. It is essential that the tow ball is
kept completely clean as contaminated pads
will reduce its effectiveness.
Operating instructions
• Using the coupling handle, put the AKS
on to the towball. Push the black handle
down and check the green indicator
button is showing (Fig. 1).
• Press the black stabilising lever down.
The AKS is now ready for the road (Fig.
2).
Safety indicators
If the green indicator is visible then you know
you have correctly coupled your AKS to your
towing vehicle (Fig. 3).
Wear Indicator
For Coupling mechanism and front/rear
friction pads. (Fig. 4)
• Wear of the coupling ball and mechanism
can be easily monitored. If the green
section is visible (when coupled to your
towball) then the front/rear friction pads,
coupling ball and mechanism are in
order.
• If the red lower section obscures the
green section then you need to check
these parts immediately.
