OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR AKS 3004 STABILISER
RESTRICTIONS OF USE
1. The trailer coupling may only be connected to towing
vehicles where the clearances for the stabiliser can be
observed, in accordance with EC Directive 94/20 (DIN
74058). If these clearances are infringed by special
attachments, then the use must be checked separately.
The area above the towball of the vehicle must be free
from vehicle components or attachments (A) (eg spare
wheels, platforms etc.)
The clearance for the stabiliser handle must be at
least 330 mm (B) + the stroke movement (D) (85mm-
100mm), which equates to 440 mm when used in
conjunction with an AL-KO overrun.
Max. 50 mm (C) clearance between the centre of the
towball and top of the overrun assembly or fairing, to
ensure both coupling handle and stabiliser handle do not
foul on operation.
Maintain the same clearances for other
manufacturers’ overrun assemblies.
2. Not suitable for use with overrun devices which can revolve
above 25 (Fig 16) or BPW overruns tted with gas strut
handbrakes from 2001 model year onwards. (If in any doubt
about usage consult your manufacturer).
3. Swan Neck towbars (xed or detachable) are suitable for use with
the AKS 3004 providing they comply to EC Directive 94/20 and
have the required minimum 60 mm clearance, measured from the
centre of the towball (Fig 16).
