FIG. 5.
Checking the efficiency of the left/right
friction pads:
1. Check that the stabiliser is correctly
coupled by ensuring the coupling handle
is fully down and the red indicator button
is in the raised position.
2. Push the stabiliser lever (fig.5/item 1)
down until resistance is felt (i.e. the
friction pads are in contact with the ball
but not yet under pressure).
3. Check the position of the arrowhead on
the arm of the stabiliser. If it lines up with
the two green lines then the friction pads
are still as new (Fig.5/A)
If the arrowhead lines up with the two
red lines then the friction pads are
worn and should be replaced
immediately.
When the stabiliser lever is correctly applied,
the arrowhead should link up with the black
line marked 2 (Fig 5/C).
The friction pads do not require any form of
lubrication and should be cleaned with a fine
emery paper prior to every journey. It is not
necessary to adjust the friction pads.

Manoeuvring Operation

For easier manoeuvring (on camp sites etc),
pull the stabiliser lever to the "up" position.
Please do not use the stabiliser lever as a
manoeuvring handle. Please use the handles
on the caravan or fit the AL-KO manoeuvring
handle to your jockey wheel (available
separately).
1. During opening or closing, the AKS must
only be operated by one person.
2. Press the stabiliser lever down by hand
force only DO NOT use your foot or
an extension bar: this will damage the
components (Fig. 6).
3. When opening or closing the stabiliser lever,
please ensure your hand does not touch
the coupling handle, you may accidentally
trap your fingers! (Fig. 6.)

Noises while driving

As a rule, the friction pads of the AKS 3004 do
not make a noise during driving. Any clicking,
creaking or squeaking noises that do arise
may be due to the following:
a) Foreign bodies or dirt between the friction
pad and towball.
b) Dry operation of the draws-haft inside the
overrun device.
c) A detachable towball which has too much
play in the locking mechanism.

Remedial Action

a. Clean the towball and friction pads by
lightly rubbing the surface (100-120 grit
emery paper).
