Operation
Trailer operation
DANGER
If the coupling pin drops out during towing, the trailer
will work loose and can no longer be controlled.
There is a risk of accident!
A protruding safety handle means that the tow bar
eye has not been coupled correctly. The trailer
must not be towed in this condition.
– Ensure that the safety handle is flush with the
securing bush.
– If the safety handle protrudes, repeat the coup-
ling process.
– Remove any items used to prevent the
trailer from rolling away.
– Tow the trailer.
Closing model RO*243 by hand
DANGER
Risk of injury from hand becoming trapped!
Do not reach into the coupling pin area. If, for
example, a tow rope is to be secured in the tow
coupling, use only a suitable device to close the tow
coupling (e.g. assembly lever).
– Use a suitable device (e.g. assembly lever)
to push the coupling pin up.
The coupling pin is released from the latch and
the tow coupling then closes automatically.
