Hitching and unhitching the caravan
Prior to hitching or unhitching the caravan:
– For hitching and unhitching operations, stabilis-
ing handle (1) must be open in the uppermost
position.
– Pull stabilising handle (1) upwards as far as it
will go (open) otherwise hitching and unhitching
is difficult.
Hitching
– Open coupling jaw – here, pull coupling handle
(2) strenuously upwards in the direction of the
arrow.
– Place the opened coupling on the towing
bracket of the towing vehicle and release the
coupling handle (2). It should now slide back
into the initial position by itself.
– Nevertheless, press downwards by hand as
well. Closing and application of the safety catch
are automatic.
Warning!
– When the green edge of the safety indication (3)
is visible, the coupling ball is entirely in the
coupling housing.
– Press stabilising handle (1) downwards until
resting position is exceeded and limit stop is
reached.
Unhitching
– Rotate support wheel downwards (note techni-
cal information relating to support wheel).
– Release contact-breaking cable and lighting
plug.
– Pull stabilising handle (1) upwards as far as it
will go.
– Pull coupling handle (2) strenuously upwards in
the direction of the arrow.
– Take coupling from the coupling ball of the tow-
ing vehicle. This procedure is easier if, with the
ball coupling open, the crank handle is turned
so that the towbar support wheel is raised.
Safety instructions
– The anti-rolling coupling may only be operated
by one person during opening and closing.
– Press stabilising handle downwards or pull up-
wards with only one hand.
