3. Undercarriage
The caravan is equipped with an anti-rolling coup-ling in accordance
with ISO 11555-1. This safety coupling stabilises the caravan while
driving and ensures better driving performance.
WARNING: The laws of physics cannot be deed with a
safety hitch. If the limits (of speed and weight conditions)
are exceeded, traction and cornering force are reduced,
which then becomes the responsibility of the driver.
Therefore,
avoid elevated risks. Please take note of
the
permitted drawbar load for your base vehicle.
Use the drawbar load scales on the front landing wheel
to determine the current value of the drawbar load of the
caravan.
Please observe the manufacture‘s operating instruc-
tions (enclosed).
Noises while driving
Generally, the friction pads of the AKS 3004 do not make noises!
Any clicking, creaking and screeching noises could be caused by
the following
• foreign matter or dirt between the friction pad and the drawbar
ball
• dry operation of the drawbar/tie rod in the bushings of the over-
run coupling
• drawbar ball on the base vehicle can be removed and there is
too much tolerance in the lock mechanism
• surface coating has not been removed from drawbar ball
(grease, galvanised, Dacomet, varnish, KTL or any other coating)
