TESTING
(Hydraulic AL-KO iQ7 actuator version designed for use with Motion Sensing Brake
Controllers only)
After the vehicle brake controller installation has been completed, test the system set up as
follows:
a. Turn on ignition. The compressor inside the AL-KO iQ7 Actuator will be heard running.
Wait a least 30-40 seconds before attempting to drive or move the vehicle. This will
allow for at least 50% braking power to become available.
b. Wait a further 60 seconds before undertaking brake proportionality testing. Find
an appropriate stretch of road where brake testing can be undertaken without the
disruption of other road users.
c. Follow the motion sensing brake controller instructions as supplied by the
manufacturer to establish smooth proportional braking

Contact AL-KO for verification of all other controllers prior to use. iQ7 used in conjunction
with a Tekonsha P3 brake controller fulfills the requirements of providing visible warning
of low operating pressure or break away by flashing a red ‘No Connection’ display from the
front of the controller. This
feature is required in some Australian states.
