TOW PIN
Located at the rear of the telescopic handler, this
device is used to attach a trailer. Its capacity is limited
for each telescopic handler by the authorized gross
vehicle weight, tractive effort and maximum vertical
force on the coupling point. This information is given
on the manufacturer's plate fixed to each telescopic
handler (see chapter: 1 - SPECIFICATIONS AND
CONTROLS: IDENTIFICATION OF THE TELE-
SCOPIC HANDLER).
- To use a trailer, see current regulations in your
state/province (maximum running speed, braking,
maximum weight of trailer, etc.).
- Verify the trailer's condition before using it (tire con-
dition and pressures, electrical connection,
hydraulic hose, braking system).

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer that is not in good working
condition. Using a trailer in poor condition
may affect the telescopic handler's steering
and braking, and cause an accident.
WARNING
If an assistant helps in connecting or discon-
necting the trailer, this person must always be
visible to the operator and wait until the tele-
scopic handler has stopped, the parking brake
is applied and the engine is stopped before
performing the operation.
WARNING
Be careful not to get your fingers caught or
crushed during this operation.
Do not forget to put clip (1) back in place.
When uncoupling, make sure that the trailer is
independently supported.
