2. Operation
The legal regulations must be observed for hitching and unhitching.
2.1 Hitching
x Place the drawbar eye at the centre of the funnel.
x Press the hand lever (H) upwards until it engages.
x Release the brake on the front axle of the articulated drawbar
trailer.
x When connecting with a rigid drawbar trailer, the drawbar eye
must be as close to the centre of the funnel as possible:
Failure to observe this can lead to damage!
x Reverse the tractor vehicle slowly
Inspection: ATTENTION:
After each hitching operation you must
check that the coupling is in the hitching condition in accordance with
the regulations.
After hitching, the control pin must not project out of the control sleeve.
Projecting control pin: incorrectly hitched, risk of accident!
You may not drive with the trailer in this condition.
(see Fig. 2)
Remedy:
– stretch coupling (drive approx. 1 metre forwards, then
backwards)
– then check again.
2.2 Unhitching
x Secure the trailer against rolling away or extend support feet.
x Open the coupling.
x Move the tractor vehicle forwards.
Note: During operation without a trailer, close the coupling with
the hand lever to protect the lower sleeve against dirt.
Caution: Do not reach into the funnel!
