Preparation and setup
41
Attention! The stopcocks on the steering axle must be opened before
commencing travel to prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
When coupling the towing vehicle to the trailer, approaching in exactly the same position as when
uncoupling will not work. The forced steering can therefore be re-coupled as follows.
Procedure
-
Approach the trailer with your towing vehicle
as straight as possible.
-
Couple the towing vehicle to the trailer via
the trailer coupling.
-
Release the lock at the end of the forced
steering cylinders by lifting up the lever.
-
The cylinder can now move freely and can
be easily connected to the towing vehicle.
-
Fold the lock lever back down again.
-
Drive the tractor/trailer combination forwards
slowly until the vehicles are in a straight line.
The forced steering cylinder lock should re-
engage during this process.
