AXLE TYPES
'STANDARD AXLE' MAINTENANCE
(TAPER ROLLER BEARINGS)
After 1500 km or 6 months
Have the axial play of the hub bearing checked and adjusted
if necessary.
After 10,000 km or 12 months
Check quantity and quality of grease, renew if necessary.
With boat trailers which are driven into fresh/salt water, the
hub bearing should be regreased shortly after contact with
the water (with the exception of waterproof hubs). Check the
wear of the wheel brake linings every 10,000 km or every
12 months through inspection hole (Fig 6) and adjust if
necessary. Where continuous travel in hilly regions or high
mileage is experienced, earlier inspection and adjustment
may be necessary.
STANDARD AXLE MAINTENANCE
(SEALED FOR LIFE BEARINGS)
AL-KO Wheel Hubs are fitted as standard with Sealed For
Life bearings which are maintenance free.

SPARE PARTS

Spare parts are safety critical parts! For this reason when fitting
spare parts in our products we recommend the use of original
AL-KO parts or those parts that we have explicitly approved. The
reliability, safety and suitability of parts designed especially for our
products, has been determined using a special test procedure. In
spite of constantly monitoring the market we are unable to assess
or vouch for other products.
If repair work or servicing is required, AL-KO have a large network
of AL-KO service stations throughout Europe.
To establish the correct spare parts required for your axle you
should always quote the axle type (axle identification plate Figs 1/2)
and Spare Part Identification no. (ETI No.), which will be stamped
onto the wheel brake or identification plate (Fig 7). Please establish
these numbers before contacting AL-KO or a Service Agent.
