NOTE
Trailer coupling RO 244 is intended for a tow
bar eye in accordance with DIN 74054 (bore
diameter 40 mm) or DIN 8454 (bore diameter
35 mm).
– Take measures to prevent the trailer from
rolling away, e.g. use wheel chocks.
– Adjust the tow bar eye of the tiller so that it is
at the centre of the towing jaws.
– Push the hand lever (2) upwards until it
snaps into place.
The tow coupling is opened.
DANGER
People can become trapped between the truck and
trailer!
When hooking up, ensure that no one is between
the truck and trailer.
CAUTION
When being coupled, the tow-bar eye must engage
in the middle of the coupling jaw. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in damage to the
coupling jaw or to the tow-bar eye!
– Ensure that the tow-bar eye enters the coupling
jaw centrally.
– Move the truck back slowly until the tow bar
eye is inserted centrally into the coupling
jaw of the tow coupling and the coupling pin
engages.
NOTE
The coupling pin is correctly engaged if the
control pin (3) does not protrude out of its
guide.
