5.3.3. Towing the lift
Connecting to the towing vehicle
1. Lift up and push forward (in the driving direction) the handle of the ball-coupling. Now the
ball-coupling is released.
2. Press the ball-coupling onto the towball using only a little force. The connection and
locking take place automatically.
Always make sure, after the connection, that the ball-coupling is properly locked.
3. Connect the emergency stop wires and light plug to the vehicle. Check the cable for
chafing and proper operation of the wires.
4. Check the operation of the lights.
5. Carefully release the parking brake and make sure that its locking is in order and that its
handle stays in the lower position.
6. Lift up the jockey wheel to the transport position.
Clean and lubricate the ball-coupling regularly.
In particular, if you are parking or disconnecting the lift from the towing vehicle on a slope,
apply the parking brake as firmly as possible. After having applied the parking brake, push
the lift backward to make the reverse automatics release the brake shoes. The spring
cylinder pulls the parking brake tighter, and the brakes of the vehicle will again be properly
engaged.
Adjust the brakes according to the service instructions.
Place chocks under the wheels as an additional precaution.
Observe the national traffic regulations, the local and worksite-specific instructions, as well
as the instructions concerning the towing vehicle.
