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 and the tow-
ing jaws. If the component moves suddenly there is a
risk of injury!
–
To release the coupling pin, actuate the corre-
sponding lever or use a suitable device (e.g. as-
sembly lever).
–
When not in use, close the automatic tow cou-
pling.
WARNING
Risk of damage due to component collision.
A truck with tow coupling needs more room for ma-
noeuvring due to its overhang. The tow coupling can
damage the racking or the tow coupling itself when
manoeuvring. If there is a collision with the tow cou-
pling, check the tow coupling for damage such as
cracks. A damaged tow coupling must not be used
again.
–
Always manoeuvre carefully and with sufficient
room.
–
In the case of a collision, check the tow coupling
for damage.
–
Replace tow coupling if damaged, if necessary
contact the authorised service centre.
WARNING
Risk of damage to the tow bar eye or tiller!
Due to the truck's rear wheel steering, the side slew-
ing angle of the tiller may not be adequate. The cou-
pling or the tiller may be damaged! The tow bar eye
of the tiller must fit the tow coupling in terms of shape
and size.
–
Ensure that the tow bar eye and tiller fit correctly.
–
Avoid sharp cornering.
–
Exercise care when travelling and manoeuvring in
reverse.
