AL-KO BRAKING SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT12. Remove the slack in the brake rod by adjusting the longball nut, rear of the balance bar, ensuring the overrunlever makes contact with the end of the towing shaft.Note! Over adjustment to the long ball nut (Fig 13/Item2) could induce movement of the inner brake cable,reducing the effective clearance of the brake shoes. If theoverrun lever will not make contact, it is possible the twolock nuts, forward of the spring cylinder, are incorrectlyadjusted. Loosen the nuts and adjust brake rod as above(Figs 11, 13a\b).13. OVER ADJUSTMENT of either the wheel brakes orlinkages, will result in difficult reversing causing thewheels to ‘lock-up’.15. Finally, if the road wheels have been removed, re-tighten allM12 wheel bolts using a calibrated Torque Wrench to 110Nmfor Alloy Wheels and 88Nm for steel wheels. The wheel boltsshould be tightened in sequence, ie. North, South, East, WestNOT clock or anti-clockwise (refers to steel wheels only).Remember to over-tighten is just as dangerous as to undertighten,as this can distort the wheel rims. Avoid the use ofpower wrenches.IMPORTANTThe torque settings should be rechecked after 50 km.Wheel bolts should NEVER be lubricated.14. When parking, the handbrake lever MUST ALWAYS beengaged into the fully upright position (90°). If difficultyis experienced in this operation, try easing the caravanbackwards with one hand while engaging the handbrakefully with the other. This manoeuvre should not beattempted on a rearwards facing slope. In this case wheelchocks should be used combined with the handbrake.12
