3.3 Locking brake facilities

Noises while driving
Generally, the friction pads of the AKS 2004/AKS
3004 do not make noises! Any clicking, creaking
and screeching noises could be caused by the
following:
• foreign matter or dirt between the friction pad
and the drawbar ball
• dry operation of the drawbar/tie rod in the
bushings of the overrun coupling
• drawbar ball on the base vehicle can be re-
moved and there is too much tolerance in the
lock mechanism
• surface coating has not been removed from
drawbar ball (grease, galvanised, Dacomet,
varnish, KTL or any other coating)
To eliminate
• Clean the drawbar ball and the friction pads
by lighting sanding the pads with sandpaper
(grain: 100-120).
• Use the lubricating nipple to grease the bu-
shings. In addition, pull the gangway bellows
on the overrun coupling off towards the front
and grease all of the exposed drawbar (Fig.
25).
• Lubricant: multi-purpose grease in accor-
dance with DIN 51 825.
• Take the camper to an authorised specialist
company. Have the contact surfaces checked
for damages and the lock mechanism che-
cked that it is functioning correctly. If neces-
sary, replace the drawbar ball or, if permitted,
regrease the lock mechanism (please refer
also to the operating manual for the remova-
ble drawbar ball).
The components of the brake facilities, particu-
larly the overrunning equipment, wheel brakes
and towbar were checked in accordance with
the appropriate EU Guidelines and may only be
used in a licensed combination.
If you alter or modify any components of the
brake facilities, the operation permission loses
its validity. Modifications may only be made with
the manufacturer's permission.
