1.
Danger of accident from worn coupling!
The machine may detach from the towing vehicle.
➤ Do not tow the machine.
➤ Have the ball coupling and ball hitch checked.
➤ Replace worn parts.
2. Couple-up the machine and tow slowly and carefully for about 0.5 miles.
The action of towing sets the coupling mechanism to maximum closure and gives a true read‐
ing on the wear indicator.
3. Interpret the wear indicator as follows:
Wear indicator Meaning
Green zone showing ■ Coupling in new condition.
■ Towing vehicle ball hitch wear within acceptable limits.
➤ No action necessary.
Red zone showing ■ Ball hitch wear at acceptable limit, ball coupling unworn.
■ Ball hitch in new condition; ball coupling showing increased wear.
■ Both ball and coupling showing increased wear.
■ Ball coupling damaged.
➤ Have the ball coupling and ball hitch checked by a specialist workshop.
➤ Replace worn parts.
