Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This hitch lock is specifically designed for ALKO couplings that incorporate a built-in stabiliser. It is not suitable for other manufacturers' couplings or ALKO couplings without the stabiliser feature.
Setup:
- Ensure your caravan or trailer is securely parked.
- If hitched, ensure the vehicle is safely parked and the handbrake is applied.
- Open the hitch handle mechanism on your ALKO coupling.
- Place the hitch lock over the exposed hitch handle.
- Insert the lock cylinder and turn the key to secure the lock.
- Remove the key and store it safely.
- Confirm the lock is firmly in place and cannot be disengaged.
Care:
- Keep the lock cylinder clean and free from dirt and debris. Periodically, a light application of a dry lubricant can help maintain smooth operation.
- Store the hitch lock and its keys in the provided storage bag when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
- Inspect the lock periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If any damage is noted, discontinue use.
