For operation, maintenance and assembly, the safety instructions listed
below must be observed.
Safety instructions for operation

x The corresponding safety instructions in the operating instructions of the
respective tractor vehicle and trailer manufacturers retain their validity
and must be observed.

ling retain their validity and must be observed.

the model approval, which in turn invalidates the vehicle operation
permit.
