SOCKET ADAPTER
COUPLING POSITION
6
A standard black 7-pin socket on your tow vehicle will be suitable
to operate the essential running lights by using an adapter that
converts the 13-pin plug into a 7-pin type.
However to utilise the features of the 13-pin plug then your vehicle
should be fitted with ‘twin’ electrics. These comprise of a black
7-pin and a grey 7-pin socket; an adapter will be required that
connects the 13-pin plug of the OPUS
® to the twin sockets on
your vehicle. Of course, your vehicle may already have one single
13-pin socket that does not require any form of adapter and is
the ideal method of connection.
ABOUT HITCHING
1.
When hitching the OPUS ® Camper to your vehicles tow ball you must ensure that someone is
close to the handbrake in order to maintain control of the trailer, particularly when manoeuvring
on a slope.
2. Steadily guide the coupling of the OPUS ® to the vehicles tow
ball. If necessary, raise the front of the OPUS ® so that the coupling
is higher than the tow ball by turning the handle on the jockey
wheel.
Note: Please refer to the seperate BPW guide to the jockey wheel
fitted to your OPUS
®
for safe and correct usage.
The frame of the Camper is designed to aid pushing/handling of
the trailer comfortably. The grab handles may be used to aid
manoeuvring but
MUST NEVER be used to pull the full weight
of the Camper.
3. Position the coupling over the tow ball and lower it by turning the jockey wheel handle and, at
the same time lifting the coupling handle up. When fully engaged onto the ball you will be able to
release the coupling handle.
If you have a locking coupling the coupling will need to be unlocked and the security ball removed
to perform the step above.
If your trailer is fitted with a stabiliser coupling ensure the handle is engaged into the correct
position to use the stabilising feature. The tow ball may also need to be inspected to ensure the
stabiliser pad has an adequate grip on the tow ball.
Note: Full instructions on the Winterhoff WS3000/iSC coupling are supplied in a separate manual;
please reference the correct and safe use and retain for future reference.
4. Fit the breakaway cable around the neck of the tow ball or through a suitable aperture on the
tow bar itself. Ensure it doesn’t foul on the coupling or any other nearby objects such as the trailer
lighting cable.
5.
Raise the jockey wheel by turning the handle on the top until the wheel engages into the cut
grooves on either side of the tube.
