Make sure that the brake of the trailer is on.   If uncoupling from a 
central axle trailer, lower the the drawbar support leg to the ground 
so that it is just starting to take weight.   Do not try to push the drawbar 
eye high in the coupling, otherwise the eye will interfere with the pin 
preventing the uncoupling.

Lift the operating handle (22A-22B) upwards as far as it will go (see point 1 
in chapter 3.1   COUPLING UP on page 12/32). 

 

3.2  UNCOUPLING

NOTE:   The trailer couplings of the new series E40 can be opened 
with the coupling jaw (13) in any position.

Do not use any shafts or levers to extend the operating handle.   If 
the coupling pin does (14) not rise check that all the described 
conditions are respected.

If the operating handle is hard to lift,   move the truck slightly in order 
to release the pressure of the drawbar eye against the coupling pin.
