Example: semitrailer coupling
For vehicles with a sensor-monitored semitrailer
coupling, observe the information on the attach-
ing/detaching procedures in the manufactur-
er's operating instructions.
Before coupling up:
X Chock the semitrailer's wheels to prevent it
from rolling away.
X
Open semitrailer coupling
:
with lever
;
;
see the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions.
X
Semitrailer tractor vehicles with air suspen-
sion: raise or lower the chassis frame
(
Y
page 297) so that the semitrailer plate is
50 mm lower than semitrailer coupling
:
.
X
Steel sprung vehicles: use the saddle sup-
ports to set the height of the semitrailer so
that the semitrailer plate is 50 mm lower than
semitrailer coupling
:
.
Only remove mudguard centre parts
?
if:
R
the semitrailer makes the use of mudguard
centre parts
?
impossible and
R
the semitrailer's body covers the wheels
When using mudguard centre parts
?
,
observe the legal requirements for the coun-
try you are currently in.
X Release rubber retainers
=
of mudguard
centre parts
?
on the left and the right-hand
side of the vehicle.
X
Remove mudguard centre parts
?
.
Coupling up with vehicles with a sensor-moni-
tored semitrailer coupling:
X Drive slowly under the semitrailer plate.
X Raise the vehicle level or lower the semitrailer
until the on-board computer displays the grey
ï
Coupling level reached event win-
dow.
X Back up slowly until semitrailer coupling
:
locks.
The
¤
indicator lamp in the status area of
the on-board computer lights up green.
X
If the on-board computer displays the red
£
Driving level below coupling
level
event window when reversing, correct
the coupling level again until the on-board
computer displays the grey
ï
Coupling
level reached
event window.
Coupling up vehicles without a sensor-moni-
tored semitrailer coupling:
X Back up slowly until semitrailer coupling
:
locks.
After coupling up:
X
Stop the vehicle and apply the parking brake.
X
Secure semitrailer coupling
:
against unau-
thorised operation and check the locking
mechanism; see the manufacturer's operat-
ing instructions.
X
Retract the saddle supports fully; see the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
X Connect the cable and compressed-air lines
(

WARNING
If the trailer coupling has too much longitudi-
nal play, the trailer can tear away. You could
lose the semitrailer as a result. There is a risk
of an accident.
Check the trailer coupling daily for longitudi-
nal play by moving the towbar body of the
trailer coupling forwards and back firmly.
Have any longitudinal play eliminated at a
