Safety Instructions
Risk of accident due to rolling trailer. Secure the trailer with wheel chocks prior to uncoupling!
Risk of accident due to rolling trailer. Always secure the trailer with chocks prior to performing any maintenance and care jobs!
An AL-KO axle is not allowed to be welded!
Undetected bearing damage can progress to the point that the bearing is completely destroyed and this will lead to the wheel running off the axle. If you suspect bearing damage, see your specialist service centre! Trailers should only be operated in perfect condition!
Not all compact bearings are watertight.
Watertight compact bearings can be identified on the dust cap (symbol) or the ETI number on the type plate.
In the event of faults while driving, contact a trained specialist or our AL-KO Service.
Trailer rolls backwards until the handbrake force (approx. 25 cm) is fully applied. Always secure trailer with wheel chocks!
Type information is not allowed to be rendered illegible due to painting or being covered by components.
Maintenance and Care
CAUTION! Have all maintenance and repair work exclusively carried out by trained specialists or our AL-KO Service. In the event of all faults and driving noises, contact a workshop licensed by AL-KO.
The maintenance-free compact bearings are greased and sealed for life.
To prevent white rust formation (defective appearance):
- Ensure sufficient air circulation during storage.
- After driving in winter, rinse hot-dip galvanised surfaces with clean water.
- Re-lubricate or oil articulation and bearing points!
Maintenance Intervals
Maintenance intervals must be complied with! The maintenance intervals will be shorter if there is heavy use.
Initial inspection after 500 km or 6 months: Check brake system, adjust if necessary.
Every 5000 km or 12 months: Check brake system, if necessary, replace brake pads, adjust brake system.
Every 10,000 km or 24 months: Maintain the brake system.
The trailer brake is subject to increased wear if continuously driven uphill. In the case of commercial trailers, earlier adjustment may be necessary.
Replacement Parts
Replacement parts are safety parts! For the installation of replacement parts into our products, we recommend the use of original AL-KO parts, or parts that we have expressly approved for installation. For the clear identification of replacement parts, our service stations require the replacement part identification number (ETI).
