AL-KO IQ7 - Installation; Mounting Bracket

INSTALLATION
Actuator
! IMPORTANT
Under no circumstances should any control system, other than approved AL-KO iQ7
controllers, be used in conjunction with the AL-KO iQ7 Actuator.
Mounting Bracket
The AL-KO iQ7 actuator incorporates four mounting holes on the base of the unit (Refer
gure 3, below). In order to attach the unit securely to the trailer and to minimise vibration,
a sturdy mounting bracket must be fabricated.
Use a 6mm or 1/4” bolt with a suitable locking nut to x the actuator to the trailer.
It is important to ensure the mounting bolts are not over tightened during installation.
If the rubber mounting grommet appears oval shaped (Refer gure 2, below) it has become
over tightened. When choosing a location for the mounting bracket, consider positioning of
additional trailer accessories, such as a winch etc.
