3  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This chapter refers to the figures on pages 12-15/32.

Read the following instructions carefully before any operation:

Ear working gloves

ATTENTION: Before coupling operation check that the brake of the trailer 
is on and that in case of a steering axle trailer the front axle is free to 
steer. Make sure that the drawbar eye and the coupling are level or that 
the eye is slightly lower so that it runs up the lower jaw.   If coupling a 
central axle trailer, ensure that the rear support jacks, if fitted, are clear 
of the ground first.

Lift the operating handle (22A-22B) upwards as far as it will go (note: minimum 
force needed is 200 N). 
The coupling pin (14) is now raised. Check that the coupling jaw (13) has 
locked, ie. cannot swing from side to side.
The security pin (18e) will now be protruding   from its seat.

Reverse slowly the truck, the drawbar eye has to enter the coupling jaw (13) 
properly. The push of the drawbar eye against the visible part of the coupling 
pin makes the pin (14) fall down immediately and the security pin (18e) is 
seated automatically.
