Important maintenance & cleaning advice
1. The towball should be cleaned regularly to
remove grease or other residue, to maintain
the efficiency of the friction pads. The use
of thinners, white spirit or brake cleaner is
recommended for cleaning the towball and
friction pads.
2. If friction pads are contaminated, they
should not be cleaned but replaced.
3. The surface of the towball must be free of
grooves, rust or seizing marks.
4. Towballs coated with paint or similar, must
have this surface completely removed (use
100 or 120 grain emery paper). If this is not
done, increased towball wear will occur
and may cause damage to the AKS 3004
stabiliser components.
5. In winter, you should carefully spray only the
visual indicator with de-icer.
