When driving over depressions or elevations,
please be aware that the articulation angle at
front
;
or rear
:
changes.
i
If the tractor/trailer combination jack-
knifes, the clearance between the tractor
vehicle and the trailer/semitrailer is reduced.
The articulation angles are dependent on the
particular tractor vehicle and trailer or semi-
trailer. They are affected by:
R
wheelbase
R
height of add-on equipment
R
overhang
R
distance from the tractor vehicle to the trailer
or semitrailer
Swivel angle
G
WARNING
If the swivel angle is exceeded during extreme
cornering, the following can happen:
R
the cable, compressed-air and hydraulic
lines may break away
R
the trailer tow hitch and the trailer drawbar
may be damaged
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle or the trailer. The trailer may even
break away. There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay attention to the swivel angle of the
vehicle combination when cornering.
Example: tractor vehicle and centre-axle trailer
Example: tractor vehicle and semitrailer

Pay attention to swivel angle
=
during
extreme cornering.
The swivel angle is dependent on the coupling
system on the tractor vehicle and trailer or sem-
itrailer.
Coupling up
Note on tractor/trailer synchronisation
(vehicles without EBS)
!
Tractor/trailer synchronisation should be
carried out when you couple up/attach a
trailer or semitrailer to the tractor vehicle for
the first time. Not doing so could lead to
increased brake wear. Always have tractor/
trailer synchronisation carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
