HITCHING UP WITH THE DO35
STEP 1
Ensure the Tow Pin Cover is removed from Tow Pin.
Step 2
The Tow Pin and Universal should be free of sand,
dirt and foreign objects. Lightly lubricated to ensure
premature wear is avoided.
Step 3
Set the coupling to the unlocked position. Do so
by pushing down on the Red Lock Button while
simultaneously pushing back the Locking slide plate
towards the Red Lock Button. When in position the
Lock Button will spring back and pressure will be
removed from the Locking Plate. At this stage in
the unlocked position the viewing port in the centre
of the locking mechanism should be clear.
Step 4
Raise height of trailer so the coupling is above the
vehicle Tow Pin height by adjusting Jockey Wheel
or Stand.
Step 5
Align Coupling over Tow Pin by moving either
vehicle or trailer, then lower coupling onto tow
pin using Jockey Wheel or Stand. Ensure that the
Universal is fully seated on the Tow Pin; the Tow
Pin will protrude through locking plate as visible via
the view port.
Step 6
Once in position Push the same Red Lock Button
used in Step 3 to reset the locking plate into the
locked position. The Locking Plate will slide forward
into place simultaneously to the button push.
Step 7
Secure the Checklock Cap, the cap will emit an
audible snap when secured correctly.
