Axle types
Safety Precautions
No welding is permitted on AL-KO Axles
It is important that the wheel and hub /
brake drum are compatible. This mean that
the PCD, wheelbolts and inset must all be
compatible with both the hub/brake drum
and the wheel rim.
Particular attention must be paid to the
recommended torque figures for the
wheelbolts (see pg 33).
The axle type details shown on axle type
plates must not be obscured or made illegible
by application of any additional surface finish.
Operating Instructions
Service Brake
When the towing vehicle is braking or travelling
down hill, the overrun device shaft is pushed
in (dependent on the magnitude of the thrust
on the shaft) and presses on the overrun lever.
This acts on the bowden cables and expander
mechanism, which in turn expands the brake
shoes applying the wheel brakes.
Hand brake
With the gas strut version, pull the handbrake
lever until upright. With the spring cylinder
version, pull the handbrake lever right up to the
last tooth. The caravan is then braked.
!
WARNING:
Please note that with the
handbrake fully applied, the caravan/trailer is
able to move backwards by 25 cms until the
spring cylinder/gas spring takes effect.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance of Euro-Plus/Euro-Compact and
Euro-Delta.
The above semi-trailing axles come fitted with
maintenance free wheel bearings (greased and
sealed for life) and no adjustment is necessary.
Note:
The hub bearing is not protected
against water ingress. Check wheel brake
linings for wear every 10,000 kilometers
(6200 miles) or every 12 months via the
inspection hole
Fig. 5
(Fig. 5/Item 1). Adjust if necessary. Where
continuous travel in hilly regions or high
mileage is experienced, earlier inspection and
adjustment may be necessary.
Note:
The flanged hub-nut, located under
the dust cap, used to keep the brake drum
in situ, is a ONE-SHOT NUT (ie. must
only be used once). If removed it must be
replaced with a NEW flanged nut - torqued
to 290 ± 10 Nm (214 +/- 1 7.5 lbs/ft). A
small amount of special mineral grease,
available from AL-KO must be applied to
stub axle thread prior to fitting the new
flanged nut. After fitting excess grease must
be removed with white spirit.
The rear hexagon cap head bolt located
under the black plastic cap MUST NOT BE
DISTURBED under any circumstance.
Interference with this nut will result in
immediate tyre wear and damage to the
braking system and WILL INVALIDATE
ALL WARRANTIES. Should the rear nut
accidentally be disturbed then the complete
axle must be returned to AL-KO for resetting
of the toe-in and camber.
