DANGER
Risk of injury when coupling!
People can become trapped between the truck and
the trailer.
–
When coupling, ensure that there are no persons
present between the truck and the trailer.
WARNING
Risk of crushing when reaching into the coupling.
When the coupling pin slams shut, there is a risk of
crushing limbs in the coupling.
–
Never reach into the coupling.
–
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 a collision with the tow coupling oc-
curs, the tow coupling must be checked 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.
–
Have a damaged tow coupling replaced by 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.
–
Carefully reverse and manoeuvre.
