power to move the additional weight of the Caravan.
Avoid wear and tear on clutch and transmission by taking extra care.
Change gears smoothly, try not to jerk the clutch.
Uncoupling:
Switch off vehicle engine. Check towing vehicle handbrake is applied,
automatic in park.
Apply caravan handbrake. Uncouple breakaway cable.
Unclamp and lower jockey wheel to ground, re-clamp jockey wheel.
Remove the 13 pin connector from vehicle socket, store away in cable
locker.
Pull the stabiliser lever up as far as it will go. Open the coupling handle and
lift the AKS3004 from the tow ball.
With higher nose loads coupling and uncoupling can be made easier by
using the jockey wheel to assist lifting.
Note: For easier manoeuvring (on campsites etc) when attached to a towing
vehicle, pull the stabiliser handle to the 'up' position.
Important Points to Remember:
It is absolutely vital that the slight backwards push of the caravan is applied
before it is uncoupled from the towing unit.
It is also important to check that the brake had in fact operated correctly as
soon as the Caravan has been uncoupled.
