Overrun Device
In the importance of safety, please familiarise
yourself with the operation of this overrun
device BEFORE using your caravan.
Safety Precautions
When parking your tow vehicle and caravan on
site, you must apply the caravan handbrake.
If the unit is parked but disconnected from
the tow vehicle, it is strongly recommended
that each wheel is chocked using AL-KO or
suitable wheel chocks.
Caution:
Please note when parking the
caravan, the wheelbrake auto reverse
mechanism will allow the caravan to travel
backwards for approximately 25 cm (please
allow sufficient clearance when parking).
Operation
AL-KO overrun devices are a mechanical type,
using a hydraulic damper.
Breakaway Cable
- Attach the caravan to the tow vehicle as
described in AK160 coupling and AKS 3004
stabiliser sections
- Thread the breakaway cable through the
breakaway cable guide provided (Fig 2) and
connect it to attachment point provided
on towing bracket (Fig 1). Please refer to
‘Braked Trailers Use of Breakaway Cables’
for further details.
Figure 1
Breakaway Cables.
Caution:
The breakaway cable operates
the handbrake (emergency brake), in the
event of the caravan becoming detached
from the towing vehicle during towing. For
this emergency brake to work correctly, it is
absolutely essential that the following points
are observed:
1. The breakaway cable MUST run through
the breakaway cable guide.
2. The breakaway cable MUST NOT be
wrapped around the jockey wheel, as this
disables the emergency brake (Fig 3).
3. The cable MUST run as straight as
possible and not be restricted.
4. Ensure the cable is long enough to allow
for cornering and will not become taut or
snag during use, as this could result in
the handbrake operating whilst towing.
Please refer to ‘Braked Trailers Use of
Breakaway Cables’ information sheet,
supplied with your caravan.
