INSTRUCTIONS FOR AL-KO AKS 2004
STABILISER
PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, BEFORE
COMMENCING ASSEMBLY OR
OPERATION
REGULATIONS
1. The AKS 2004 must be used in
conjunction with 50mm diameter
towballs, which conform to EC Directive
94/20 (DIN 74058 or local equivalent).
2. Suitable for attachment to drawbars or
approved overrun braking equipment for
single (and tandem axle) caravan/trailers,
with a minimum weight of 200Kg and a
maximum permissible weight of 2000Kg.
3. EC design approval has been given to the
AL-KO AKS 2004 coupling under permit
No. e194/20*0930*00.
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.
Clearances for Stabiliser Handles (Fig 1)
Having lowered the jockey wheel to the
ground, operate the handle as previously
described. Lift the coupling clear of the
towing ball either manually or by
operating the telescopic jockey wheel.
- 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 330mm (B) + the stroke
movement (D) (85mm-100mm), which
equates to 440mm when used in
conjunction with AL-KO overrun.
- Max 50mm (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 2).
3. Swan Neck towbars (fixed or detachable)
are suitable for use with the AKS 2004
providing they comply with EC Directive
94/20 and have the required minimum
60mm clearance, measured from the
centre of the towball (Fig 2).
