4.8 Towing trailers
F
The truck can occasionally be used to tow a light trailer on a dry, level and well
maintained surface. The truck must not be permanently used with trailers.
To ensure safe transport always observe the following instructions when towing
trailers. Never exceed the
permissible tow load during operation. This information
must be obtained from the owner in accordance with VDI 3973 and DIN 15172. At any
rate, the maximum tow load specified by the
manufacturer must never be
exceeded.
Attaching the trailer
– Push the tow pin down and turn it 90 degrees.
– Pull the tow pin up and insert the control handle of the trailer vehicle into the
opening.
– Insert the tow pin, push it down, turn it 90 degrees and engage it.
4.9 Tow loads
Before coupling, the driver must ensure the maximum trailer load is not exceeded.
Permissible towed loads for towing without a load on the forks, for +/- 1° inclines and
max. 5 km/h (trailer without brakes).
The maximum tow load as specified by the manufacturer must therefore not be
applied in isolation for local operation, but rather should be considered an absolute
maximum limit for the owner to take into account when determining the permissible
tow loads.
Z
– The towed load is the sum of the net weight of the trailer and the trailer load.
– The lift truck must not have any load on its forks while towing.
– The specified towed loads only apply to the auxiliary coupling in the counterbalance
weight of the truck. If using other trailer couplings, observe the regulations of the
coupling manufacturer. The maximum tow load remains unaffected.
