xvii.
Finally, if the road wheels have been
removed, re-tighten using a calibrated
torque wrench to 130Nm (on all M12 wheel
bolts - in sequence, i.e. North, South, East,
West not clock or anticlockwise.) DO NOT
over tighten this is just as dangerous as to
under-tighten, as this can distort the wheel
rims. Avoid the use of power wrenches.
The torque settings should be
!
re-checked after 50km/30 miles.
Wheel bolts should never be
lubricated.
In order to operate the AL-KO braking
system correctly adequate traction of
caravan wheels is required when
reversing. Therefore surface conditions
that would result in a lack of traction
should be avoided, for example: pea
shingle/loose gravel.
Care should be taken when traversing
ramps or other obstacles in order to
prevent damage to the caravan under
gear. When approaching such
obstacles reduce towing speed
appropriately.
Chassis Lubrication Points
1. Grease the drawbar in the area of the
bellows.
2. Grease the bearing bush through the grease
nipples on the housing and the cartridge.
3. Grease the pivot bolt of the overrun lever
and handbrake levers through the grease
nipple.
4. Grease the joint of the brake rod and fitting.
5. Oil the joints of the spring cylinder in the
handbrake lever.
Lubricant type: Multi-purpose grease to DIN
51825 KTA 3K4.
AL-KO ATC Trailer Control System
AL-KO ATC is an electronic, emergency
control system for caravans and trailers. It
automatically recognises critical swinging
motions and applies the caravan brakes
accordingly to regain control of the caravan
and car.
Safety Information
AL-KO ATC is a passive safety product
that activates the braking system
on the caravan in unsafe driving
conditions.
The driver has a responsibility under law to
ensure that the elements of towing safety are
met, including driving within the legal speed
limit, consideration of road, weather and other
traffic conditions, and correct loading and
coupling of the caravan.
The electrical connection between the towing
vehicle and the caravan must be in good
working order.
Operating Instructions
After coupling the caravan correctly to the
towing vehicle, connect the 13 pin plug to the
towbar.
Upon connection, ATC will carry out an initial
self test and the LED light on the front fairing
will light up on RED. During the self test, the
