recess

Slide bolt

into the hole in the ball cou-

pling recess and the ball coupling to the

stop.

Secure the bolt using spring cotter

Check the ball coupling, bolt and spring

cotter for correct installation.

If the ball coupling cannot be correctly moun-

ted, remove the ball coupling. Under these

circumstances, the ball coupling must not be

used for trailer towing.
If the ball coupling cannot be locked and the

key cannot be removed, remove the ball cou-

pling and clean it. If the ball coupling can still

not be installed (locked) after it has been

cleaned, remove the ball coupling. The trailer

tow hitch must then not be used to tow a

trailer, as safe operation cannot be guaran-

teed.
Have the entire trailer tow hitch checked at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Coupling up a trailer
