Maintenance
Centre brake rod. Check full thread
engagement in the fork end of the
overrunning device. Secure locking nut.
At the axle ensure compensator plate is
parallel to the axle by setting the adjuster
nuts on the bowden cables. Secure lock
nuts.
Adjust centre brake rod at the rear nut so
there is no clearance between the overrun
lever and the drawshaft and plate. Secure
lock nuts.
Correct adjustment of the linkage can be
checked by engaging handbrake lever on the
second tooth of the ratchet segment. In this
position you should feel a slight braking
force at the wheels.
Finally screw up the self locking nut to give
1mm clearance between the nut and the
spring cylinder.
Note: Reversing will be difficult if either
wheel brake or brake linkage is
overadjusted.
GENERAL NOTES ON
MAINTENANCE
1. Brake Drum/Hub Assembly
The EURO AXLE fitted to your caravan
comes complete with maintenance-free
wheel bearings GREASED AND SERVICED
FOR LIFE. Adjustment is not required during
the design life of the sealed bearing
(100,000 km).
WARNING: If replacement of the brake
drum or shoes is required, this must be
carried out by authorised AL-KO Service
Centres.
If the warning is not observed:
- the warranty is void and
- the wheel may become detached.
Any attempt to slacken the nuts on the stub
axle will result in the toe-in being adjusted.
This will cause:
- Loss of guarantee
- Bad towing performance
- Increased tyre wear
2. Couplings
1. Clean and grease spherical seat, bearing
parts and pivot pins regularly.
2. Thoroughly examine all moving parts for
wear and correct functioning.
