AMC Chassis
Your vehicle is tted with an AMC Chassis
conversion supplied and tted by AL-KO Kober
Limited. As a result the base vehicle has
undergone certain changes.
The original rear frame has been replaced by a
hot-dip galvanised AL-KO lightweight chassis.
This chassis is connected to the cab by means
of a special bracket assembly.
The AL-KO chassis and AL-KO axle with torsion
bar suspension is tted in place of the original
equipment manufacturer’s chassis and axle.
Vehicles with an AL-KO Chassis are approved
for use with a trailer.
If tting a tow bar, use one that has been
approved by AL-KO and ensure it is tted
correctly.
When ordering a tow bar assembly, always
indicate the vehicle type and the chassis
number.
You should ensure that the maximum train
weight as shown in the registration documents
is not exceeded.
Towing a trailer also reduces the maximum
gradient capacity (hill climbing ability) of the
vehicle.
Suitable rear view mirrors, in accordance with
road trafc regulations may have to be tted.
DRIVING INFORMATION/TRAILER USE
To achieve optimum results when towing a
trailer, please observe the following points:
• Refer to base vehicle handbook for towing
limits.
• Do not tow with the vehicle empty and the
trailer loaded. If this is unavoidable, please
drive slowly to allow for the unfavourable
weight distribution.
• Always locate heavy objects close to the
trailer’s axle and secure.
• Observe all legal issues applicable to towing.
• Ensure tyre pressure of vehicle is set at fully
loaded setting.
• Use low gear when travelling downhill to
avoid constant braking.
The electrical functions and the electrical
circuit diagram will be found in the operating
instructions supplied by the base vehicle
manufacturer.
Repairs
Repairs to the AL-KO AMC components
including the axle assembly may only be
carried out by specialist workshops.
Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm is operational once the
battery is connected. When products of
combustion are sensed, the unit sounds
an alarm until the air is cleared.
Features

• The Operating light (red LED) ashes every
40 seconds conrming that the unit is
powered.
• Low Battery Warning: the unit will emit
an audible ‘chirp’ once every 40 seconds
for 7 days before the battery needs to be
replaced. (Failure to replace the battery will
result in insufcient power to alert you in a
real re situation.
• Sensitivity test button. This tests the
sensitivity, circuitry, battery and horn.
• Loud alarm.
Test smoke operation after vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip and at least once a
week during use.
Your alarm requires one 9 volt battery. Under
normal use, the battery should last one year.
Simple Maintenance
Clean your smoke alarm once every three
months to help keep the unit working
correctly. Gently vacuum using the soft brush
attachment.
Problems are indicated by two events:
The alarm does not sound upon pressing the
test button.
