Coupling the caravan to your tow vehicle
Make sure that the caravan coupling height is approximately the same as the tow vehicles tow ball
height. Reverse the tow vehicle as close as possible to the coupling head of the caravan. While
holding the caravan in place, release the overrun handbrake lever, then by pulling on the grab
handles manoeuvre the caravan so that the coupling head is directly above the tow vehicles tow ball
then apply the caravan handbrake. Now pull up on the caravan coupling lock handle and lower the
height of the caravan by winding the jockey wheel down.
Once the caravan coupling has engaged the coupling lock handle will lock down into place. You will
see the green lock indicator will pop out at the front of the coupling head to indicate that the handle
has lock down into place. (As seen in fig 1 unlocked and fig 2. locked).
Clip the brake safety cable around the tow vehicles tow ball where it will hang loosely. The function
of this cable is to pull the handbrake lever up in the event that the caravan accidentally uncouples
from the tow vehicle when you pull away. Once the caravan is coupled securely you may release the
caravan overrun handbrake lever.
