CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN
3) Close Stabiliser lever until resistance is
felt (ie friction pads are in contact with the
ball but not yet under pressure).
4) If the arrow on the arm (Fig. 5/Item 4) is
before or on the marked area (Fig. 5/Item
2) the friction pads are still as new (See
A)
5) The arrow on the arm should lie between
the marked area on the soft dock (See B)
6) If the arrow on the plate reaches or
passes the marked area on the soft dock
then the friction pads need replacing
(See C).
It is not necessary to adjust the friction pads
Manoeuvring operation
For easier manoeuvring (on campsites etc),
pull the stabiliser lever to the ‘up’ position.
Please do not use the stabiliser lever as an
manoeuvring handle. Please use the handles
on the Caravan or fit the AL-KO manoeuvring
handle to your jockey wheel (available
separately).
1) During opening or
closing, the AKS
must only be
operated by one
person.
2) Press stabiliser
lever down by hand
force only DO NOT
use your foot or an
extension bar, this
will damage the
components (Fig.
6).
3) When opening or
closing the
stabiliser lever,
please ensure your
hand does not
touch the coupling
handle
- you may
accidentally trap
your fingers! (Fig. 6).
Noises whilst driving
As a rule, the friction pads of the AKS 3004
do not make a noise during driving. Any
clicking, creaking or squeaking noises that do
arise may be due to the following:
a) Foreign bodies or dirt between the friction
pad and tow ball. b) Dry operation of the
drawshaft inside the overrun device. c) A
detachable towball which has too much
play in the locking mechanism.
Remedial Action
a) Clean the tow ball and friction pads by
lightly rubbing the surface (100-120 grit
emery paper)
b) Lubricate the drawshaft sleeve via the
grease nipples. In addition, push the
gaiter forward and grease (DIN 51 825
KTA 3K) the exposed part of the shaft
(Fig, 7).
c) Visit a specialist workshop to have the
ball holding area checked for damage
and the locking mechanism for function.
If necessary, change the towball.
Storing
To reduce the possibility of contamination of
component parts of the AKS 3004 the
stabilising handle should be closed.
Towing ball
The automobile towing ball should measure
50mm maximum and 49mm minimum
diameter (DIN 74058). If the ball is below
49mm diameter it should be replaced
immediately.
