DANGER
Never jack up the truck on the tow coupling or use
it for crane lifting. The tow coupling is not designed
for this and could be deformed or damaged. This
could cause the truck to fall, with potentially fatal
consequences!
– Use the tow coupling only for towing.
– For jacking up and lifting, use only the designated
connection points.
DANGER
The trailer coupling is not designed to support loads
and could be deformed or damaged. This could
cause the supported load to fall, with potentially
fatal consequences!
– The tow coupling should be subjected only to
horizontal loads, i.e. the tiller must be horizontal.
DANGER
If you briefly leave the truck to couple or uncouple
the trailer, there is a risk to life caused by the truck
rolling away and running you over.
– Apply the parking brake.
– Lower the forks to the ground.
– Switch off the key switch and remove the key.
WARNING
Never reach between the coupling pins of the
towing jaws. If the component moves suddenly
there is a risk of injury!
– Use a suitable device to release the coupling pin.
– When not in use, close the automatic trailer
coupling.
