OVERRUN DEVICESIn the importance of safety, please familiarise yourself withthe operation of this overrun device BEFORE using yourcaravan/trailer.SAFETY PRECAUTIONSWhen parking your tow vehicle and caravan/trailer onsite, you must apply the caravan handbrake. If the unit isparked but disconnected from the tow vehicle, it is stronglyrecommended that each wheel is chocked using AL-KO orsuitable wheel chocks.If a ‘detachable’ type drawbar is fitted (as with cateringtrailers), the drawbar must not be removed from the trailerwith the hand-brake applied.CAUTIONPlease note when parking the caravan/trailer, the wheelbrakeauto reverse mechanism will allow the caravan/trailer totravel backwards for approximately 25 cm (please allowsufficient clearance when parking).OPERATIONAL-KO overrun devices are a mechanical type, using ahydraulic damper.COUPLING UPManoeuvre towing vehicle or trailer to coupling point.Overrun devices fitted with 50 mm coupling head:- Fully open coupling head handle and secure hitch ontothe towball.- Thread the breakaway cable through the breakaway cable guideprovided (Fig 39) and connect it to attachment point providedon towing bracket (Fig 38).

OVERRUN DEVICESCAUTIONThe breakaway cable operates the handbrake (emergencybrake), in the event of the caravan/trailer becoming detachedfrom the towing vehicle during towing. For this emergencybrake to work correctly, it is absolutely essential that thefollowing points are observed:1. The breakaway cable MUST run through the breakawaycable guide.2. The breakaway cable MUST NOT be wrapped around thejockey wheel, as this disables the emergency brake (Fig 40).Fig 39 Breakaway Cable Guides3. The cable MUST run as straight as possible and notbe restricted.4. Ensure the cable is long enough to allow for corneringand will not become taut or snag during use, as thiscould result in the handbrake operating whilst towing.Please refer to ‘Braked Trailers Use of Breakaway Cables’information sheet, supplied with your caravan/trailer.Fig 40 DO NOT wrap breakaway cable around jockey wheel33
