Safety information
ATTENTION!
The safety instructions are summarised in a single sec-
tion. Where the user of the fifth wheel coupling is in dan-
ger, the safety information is repeated in the various sec-
tions and marked with the danger symbol shown here to
the side.
The relevant safety regulations in your country (for example Health
& Safety at Work) apply for working with fifth wheel couplings, trac-
tor units and semi-trailers. The appropriate safety information in the
operating manual for the tractor unit and the semi-trailer continues
to remain valid and must be followed. The following safety informa-
tion applies to the installation, servicing and mounting work. Items
of safety information directly linked to the activity are listed again
individually.
2.1
Safety information for operation
The fifth wheel coupling may only be operated by authorised
personnel.
Only use the fifth wheel coupling and skid plate on the se-
mi-trailer if they are in perfect technical condition.
The front edge of the skid plate must not be sharp, otherwise it
may damage the fifth wheel coupling or the top plate liners.
Comply with the relevant safety regulations when connecting a
semi-trailer, for example the Health and Safety at Work Regu-
lations. Only couple up a semi-trailer on firm, flat ground.
When coupling up a semi-trailer, the skid plate must be at
the same height as or ideally max. 50 mm lower than the
coupling plate on the fifth wheel coupling. Pressure losses in
the air suspension may change the height of the semi-trailer.
Check the locking mechanism before starting your journey to
ensure that it is properly locked. Only drive the vehicle with the
locking mechanism locked and secured, even when driving
without a semi-trailer (solo driving).
2.2
Safety information for servicing
Only use the specified lubricants for servicing work.
The servicing work should only be conducted by skilled per-
sonnel.
