Amc Chassis; Smoke Alarm - Bailey Approach Advance Owner's Manual

AMC Chassis

Your vehicle is fitted with an AMC Chassis
conversion supplied and fitted by AL-KO Kober
Limited. As a result the base vehicle has
undergone certain changes.
The original rear frame has been replaced by a
hot-dip galvanised AL-KO lightweight chassis.
This chassis is connected to the cab by means
of a special bracket assembly.
The AL-KO chassis and AL-KO axle with torsion
bar suspension is fitted in place of the original
equipment manufacturer's chassis and axle.
Vehicles with an AL-KO chassis are approved
for use with a trailer.
If fitting a tow bar, use one that has been
approved by AL-KO and ensure it is fitted
correctly.
When ordering a tow bar assembly, always
indicate the vehicle type and the chassis
number.
You should ensure that the maximum train
weight as shown in the registration documents
is not exceeded.
Towing a trailer also reduces the maximum
gradient capacity (hill climbing ability) of the
vehicle.
Suitable rear view mirrors, in accordance with
road traffic regulations, may have to be fitted.
DRIVING INFORMATION/TRAILER USE
To achieve optimum results when towing a
trailer, please observe the following points:
Refer to base vehicle handbook for towing
limits.
Do not tow with the vehicle empty and the
trailer loaded. If this is unavoidable, please
drive slowly to allow for the unfavourable
weight distribution.
Always locate heavy objects close to the
trailer's axle and secure.
Observe all legal issues applicable to towing.
Ensure tyre pressure of vehicle is set at fully
loaded setting.
Use low gear when travelling downhill to avoid
constant braking.
The electrical functions and the electrical
circuit diagram will be found in the operating
instructions supplied by the base vehicle
manufacturer.
Repairs
Repairs to the AL-KO AMC components
including the axle assembly may only be
carried out by specialist workshops.
