Safety coupling AKS 3004
The caravans are equipped with a safety coupling. The
coupling is equipped with friction linings, which means
that the caravan is more stable with less risk of lateral
movements when travelling. The linings are easy to
replace. To protect the caravan against theft, an anti-theft
lock that fits the coupling can be purchased.
It is important that the towing ball on the car is free of
grease, clean and not painted. Grease on the ball reduces
the friction and consequently impairs function. Dirt and
paint cling to the linings and can result in noise.
The coupling have coupling handle and a stabilization
lever (see picture below).
Position 1 = C oupling handle open
Position 2 = S tabilization lever open, stabiliser discon-
nected
Position 3 = S tabilization lever closed, stabiliser activated

General
Coupling to the car
1. Wind up all the stabiliser legs on the caravan.
Crank
2. Reverse the car towards the safety coupling on the
drawbar. Pull the stabilization handle upwards to
position 2 (see pictures above) and lift the coupling
handle on the safety coupling.
3. Disengage the parking brake. Take care if the caravan
is on a slope.
4. Grip the coupling handle on the safety coupling and
lift the drawbar by winding down the support wheel
(the drawbar may not be lifted using the handle). Then
lower the safety coupling over the car's towing ball
by winding up the support wheel. The safety coupling
snaps in automatically at sufficient pressure.
5. Press the stabilization lever down to position 3 (see
pictures to the left).

the towing ball. The safety coupling is connected
correctly when the green mark on the safety indicator
(see picture "Safety Indicators" page 16) is visible.

place on the car's tow hitch, not round the neck of the ball.
