MAINTENANCE

No attempt should be made to remove
the bearing. In the event of damage to the
bearing or drum, only the drum complete
with bearing and circlip will be available as
a spare. No grease is used in the hub other
than the mineral grease on the stub axle.
No grease should be placed in the DUST
cap. This is not a grease cap as used in all
previous hubs
Spare parts
Spare parts are safety critical parts! For
this reason when fitting spare parts we
recommend the use of original AL-KO
parts or those parts that they have explicitly
approved. The reliability, safety and suitability
of parts designed especially for their products,
has been determined using a special test
procedure. In spite of constantly monitoring
the market they are unable to assess or vouch
for other products.
If repair work or servicing is required, AL-KO
have a large network of AL-KO service stations
throughout Europe.
To establish the correct spare parts required
for your axle you should always quote the axle
type (axle identification plate Fig. 1, page 172)
and Spare Part Identification no. (ETI No.),
which will be stamped onto the wheel brake
or on the identification plate (Fig. 6). Please
establish these numbers before contacting
AL-KO or a Service Agent.

The AL-KO rubber suspension axle has been
designed and developed to suit all types of
road conditions and is maintenance free.
Three rubber elements are contained within
an hexagonal axle tube. These provide
suspension and have inherent damping
characteristics.
Figs. 7, 8 & 9 show the deformation of the
rubber elements at the extremes of
suspension movement.
The axle is designed to ride with the
suspension drop arm at, or slightly below,
the horizontal position.
For Trouble Shooting & Fault Finding please
see Table 1 on page 190.

AL-KO braking system adjustment
1. Ensure the towing shaft with coupling head
is pulled FULLY FORWARD. (Fig. 10).
2. Release the handbrake to the FULLY OFF
position. If the handbrake will not go down
the whole way because of the fairing or any
other obstruction; then the fairing must be
cut away and/or the obstruction removed
to achieve this desired position. It will not
be possible to set up the braking system
properly when the handbrake is not in the
FULLY OFF position. (Fig. 10).
3. Jack up one side of the caravan, using the
AL-KO Side Lift Jack System. (see Jack
Operating Instructions).
4. Remove the inner plastic bung from the
backplate to expose the “starwheel”
adjuster access. (Figs. 10 & 11).
