3 Before the Journey
26 Touring - 03/11-1 - englisch (EN) - 0731070 - HYW-0102-01EN
Connect the caravan (see section 3.3). The coupling jaw and the ball must interlock and are not
to be loosely superposed. The coupling jaw must completely surround the ball.
Connect the breakaway brake cable with a loop to a suitable anchorage point on the vehicle, do
not
attach to the towball.
Raise the jockey wheel as far upwards as possible. Adjust the running role in parallel to the di-
rection of travel and to the draw box.
Insert the thirteen-pin plug into the socket of the towing vehicle. Ensure that the two hooks of the
safety cover engage with the plug. The hooks prevent the plug from becoming loose during the
journey.
Put the connection cable in a loose loop across the drawbar. Make sure that it does not touch
the ground.
Make sure that the caravan coupling is securely mounted on the coupling ball and that the green
safety indicator is visible.
Check whether corner steadies and jockey wheel are raised.
Check the caravan lighting system whilst the towing vehicle is connected.
> Ensure that the interior of the coupling is not soiled and that the movable parts of the
coupling (not the ball retainer) are lubricated.
> AKS stabiliser: The tow ball is not to be lubricated when using the stabiliser. The fric-
tion pads are pressed against the coupling ball and thereby generate an anti-rolling
moment. This anti-rolling effect is only guaranteed when the towing vehicle coupling
head is free of lubricant and other residues. When lubricating the stabiliser ensure that
no lubricant is on the friction pads.
> Check whether the thirteen-pin caravan plug fits into the towing vehicle socket. Should
the designs differ, ask your ERIBA dealer for adaptation possibilities.
> Further information about the AKS stabiliser can be obtained in the separate instruc-
tion manual from AL-KO.
