Alco Stabiliser

[kenneth_374315528]

My Alco Stabiliser is becoming very difficult to engage. I have to actually stand on the handle to put it down. Is there any way you can ease the pressure. I understand the tighter it is the better it is.

Sorry about the misspell. Should have said Alko

hi kenneth

I suspect your alko hitch has a fault either displaced pads or some other fault that is stopping it from engaging the ball correctly it should not be THAT stiff, how long have you had it, and has it allways been stiff.

Hi as well as the 2 side pads there is front & rear pads as well.If the front pad is loose or faulty it could prevent the ball from seating properly. I had trouble releasing the tow ball from mine & it was caused by the front/top pad breaking up

Hi Colin. I have had my Alko for about 3 years. It is only just recently that it has become quite difficult to engage. Ken

Is the level difficult to move into position when off the ball?

My alko is 5 years old, and never missed a beat, only maintained it twice during that time.

The handle goes up and down without any difficulty.
