FAQ's

There is paint in the friction linings of my AKS™ 3004. Where does this come from?

In some vehicles the towbar is coated with protective paint when new. Please remove the protective paint from the towball (e.g. emery cloth + brake cleaner) before attaching the AKS™ for the first time.

Can I clean the friction linings if they are accidentally soiled with grease or paint?

No. The friction linings are made of a special material that cannot be cleaned. In this case replace the linings.

My AKS™ 3004 squeaks and creaks. Is it faulty? Can I do anything about it?

The AKS™ 3004 is not faulty and can still be used without problem. To reduce the noise, please contact a AL-KO dealer who will gladly help you.
