Maintenance
Warning: The coupling is correctly engaged
when the green edge of the safety indicator
button is visible (Fig. 26/Item 3).
Stabiliser Unit
To operate the Stabiliser (once coupled to
the towball), simply press the stabiliser lever
down as far as it will go (Fig. 26/Item 2).
Uncoupling
Pull the stabiliser lever handle up as far as it
will go, open the coupling handle and lift the
AKS2004 from the towball. With larger nose
loads, coupling and uncoupling can be made
easier by using the jockey wheel to assist
lifting.
Please Note: The friction pads (Fig.
27/1,2,3) are pressed against the towball and
hence generate a stabilising/damping force.
These pads are therefore subject to wear
over time, however they will have a long
service life (circa.30,000 Miles), provided
they are well maintained and kept free of
grease/dirt.
Checking the efficiency of the left/right
friction pads
1. Couple up AKS 2004.
2. Open Stabiliser lever (Fig. 28/Item1).
3. Close Stabiliser lever until resistance is
felt (ie friction pads are in contact with the
ball but not yet under pressure).
4. If the arrow on the arm (Fig. 28/Item 4) is
before or on the marked area (Fig.
28/Item 2) the friction pads are still as
new (See A)
