Maintenance
5. The arrow on the arm should lie between
the marked area on the soft dock (See B)
6. If the arrow on the plate reaches or
passes the marked area on the soft dock
then the friction pads need replacing
(See C).
Please Note: It is not necessary to adjust
the friction pads
Manoeuvring
For easier manoeuvring (on campsites etc),
pull the stabiliser lever to the ‘up’ position.
Please do not use the stabiliser lever as an
manoeuvring handle. Please use the handles
on the Caravan or fit the AL-KO
manoeuvring handle to your jockey wheel
(available separately).
1. During opening or closing, the AKS must
only be operated by one person.
2. Press stabiliser lever down by hand force
only DO NOT use your foot or an
extension bar, this will damage the
components (Fig. 29).
3. When opening or closing the
stabiliser lever, please ensure your hand
does not touch the coupling handle - you
may accidentally trap your fingers! (Fig.
29).
Noises whilst driving
As a rule, the friction pads of the AKS 2004
do not make a noise during driving. Any
clicking, creaking or squeaking noises that
do arise may be due to the following:
a) Foreign bodies or dirt between the friction
pad and tow ball.
b) Dry operation of the drawshaft inside the
overrun device.
c) A detachable towball which has too much
play in the locking mechanism.
