Special Note -Aluminium Wheels
For aluminium wheels use M12 x 1.5 pitch
26mm thread length 10.9 Grade 60° conical
fixing.
The standard M12 x 1.5 60° Conical Wheel
bolts are NOT SUITABLE for aluminium
wheel rims. Special wheel bolts should be
used.
Tyres
The legal requirements for tread depth on
motor vehicles, also applies to caravan and
trailers.
Jacks
The Corner Steadies Should never be
used to jack up the caravan. When jacking
becomes necessary use the AL-KO Side Lift
Jack or 2-Tonne Jack system.
NOTE: It is essential that the car and
caravan are hitched together before
commencing jacking. All AL-KO chassis
from 1992 onwards have 2 holes punched in
the chassis members, each side (rear of the
axle); to accept the brackets for the Jack(s).
(See Accessory Price List).
Corner Steadies may be used for stability
ONLY, when the caravan is in the jacked
position.
The caravan should never be lifted by
jacking up under the chassis member.
If working under the caravan in an elevated
position, axle stands must be used for
safety. Wheel chocks for the opposite
wheel(s) are also advisable.
Jockey Wheel
Lubricate screw
thread and wheel
spindle periodically.
Spare Wheel
Carriers
Each caravan has a
set of punched holes
in the chassis
member to facilitate
the fitting of a spare
wheel carrier. The
assembly is of a
strong, lightweight
construction and zinc plated for all-weather
protection.
There are 3 variants to suit most AL-KO
chassis (record your tyre size on this booklet
for future reference).
The carriers can be fitted for left or right
hand operation and are easy to fit.
The telescopic frame tubes should be
lubricated periodically.
