4. The AKS 3004 cannot be used with a
laterally attached reversing lever, on the left
side, when facing the direction of traffic.
5. The towball must be free from grease, paint
and other residue, otherwise the stabilising
effect is greatly reduced. Coated towballs
must have the coating completely removed
(use 100 or 120 grain emery paper). If this is
not done increased towball wear will occur
and may cause damage, or reduce the
efficiency of the stabiliser.
6. If friction pads become contaminated with
grease, they should be replaced.
7. The AKS 3004 should only be operated by
one person, when opening or closing the
handle, to reduce injury risks.

AKS 3004 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AKS 3004 SPECIFICATIONS
Coupling Handle (Fig 7/Item 1)
Stabiliser Lever (Fig 7/Item 2)
PREPARATION FOR COUPLING/
UNCOUPLING
The Stabiliser lever (Fig 7/Item 2) must be in
the uppermost position (open).
COUPLING UP
Pull the coupling handle (Fig 8/Item 1) up in the
direction of arrow. The coupling mechanism
has an open position, as long as the AKS
3004 is not placed on the ball, the handle will
remain open. Put the opened coupling onto
the clean towball. The handle must now make
an audible click and return to the flat position.
WARNING: The coupling is correctly
engaged when the green edge of the safety
indicator button is visible (Fig 9/Item 2).
Secure Jockey Wheel for transit:
After coupling fully retract the jockey wheel
inner tube so that it locks against the jockey
wheel outer tube.
Slacken the jockey wheel clamp handle and
raise the complete assembly to its highest
position with the wheel facing backwards
within the hitch cover ensuring that it doesn't
come into contact with the brake rod
assembly. Fully tighten the jockey wheel clamp
handle to ensure the jockey wheel is firmly held
in position.
