Before the journey
Connecting:
Connect the caravan (see section 3.3). The coupling jaw and the ball must
interlock and are not to be loosely superposed. The coupling jaw must
completely surround the ball.
Connect the breakaway brake cable with a loop to a suitable anchorage
point on the vehicle, do
not
attach to the tow ball. Thereby, observe the
cable length: The cable must not trail on the ground or trigger the braking
function around corners.
Crank the jockey wheel up as far as possible. Adjust the running role in par-
allel to the direction of travel and to the draw box.
Insert the connector plug of the caravan in the socket of the towing vehicle.
Ensure that the hooks of the safety cover engage with the plug. The hooks
prevent the plug from becoming loose during the journey.
Put the connection cable in a loose loop across the drawbar. Make sure
that it does not touch the ground.
Check whether the caravan coupling is mounted correctly on the coupling
ball. Pay attention to the safety indicator.
Check whether corner steadies and jockey wheel are raised.
Check the caravan lighting system whilst the towing vehicle is connected.

turer's instruction manual.

Before connecting, ensure that the tow ball of the coupling device is free of
dirt and grease.
