CORNER STEADIES
Corner Steadies are as stated, for the purpose of steadying
the caravan corners. They are NOT JACKS AND SHOULD
NEVER BE USED AS SUCH. The screw and pivot pins
should be lubricated periodically to ensure their satisfactory
operation. (See also Jack Operation).
SHOCK ABSORBERS
All AL-KO chassis have pre-punched holes to accommodate
Shock Absorbers, in front of the axle. On the Euro-Axle
System, axle swing arms have a removable rectangular
plastic cap exposing a slot to accommodate retro-t brackets
for the Octagon Shock Absorbers. (See Accessory Price
List). Delta Axles have Shock Absorbers tted as standard
which MUST NOT BE REMOVED.
ACCESSORIES
STABILISERS
AL-KO overruns can be tted with a range of AL-KO Stabiliser
devices (if not already tted as standard), dependent on the
maximum gross weight of the caravan. AL-KO stabilisers operate
on a friction type basis, whereby friction pads grip onto a Dry,
Grease Free Towball. It is important to note that the AKS range of
stabilisers are suitable for use with swan neck, xed or detachable
type towbars or the special AL-KO Extended Neck Bolt-On Towball.
We do not approve the use of any other bolt-on type towball, other
than the AL-KO Towball. Failure to use the correct towball may
result in product failure and will invalid your warranty.
The AKS range is available in two different models, the AKS 1300
suitable for caravans with a maximum gross weight of 1360 Kg
and the AKS 3004 which is suitable for caravans with a maximum
gross weight up to 3000 Kg.
Each Stabiliser can also be retro-tted with an AL-KO Security
Device and Safety ball, to ensure maximum theft deterrent (please
see our accessory price list for further details). All ‘Red’ coloured
AL-KO Security Devices have full TUV and Sold Secure Approvals
and are available from good dealers or direct at www.al-ko.co.uk.
