The safety instructions are summarised in a single chapter. In
any situation where the user of the trailer coupling is at risk,
!
the safety instructions are repeated in the individual sections
and marked with the warning symbol shown here.
When handling hitches, prime movers and trailers the relevant safety regu-
lations in the respective country must be observed (e.g. Berufsgenossen-
schaft in Germany). Any safety instructions in the operating manual of the
tractor vehicle and the trailer remain valid and must be observed.
For operation, maintenance and assembly the safety instructions listed
below must be observed. Further safety instructions are then given in the
individual case which relate directly to the respective activity.

Safety instructions for operation

x The hitch may only be operated by authorised persons.
x The installation and operating instructions of the respective hitch retain
their validity and must be observed.
x Only use the hitch and the towing eye of the trailer if they are in perfect
technical condition.
x Only carry out hitching / unhitching operations on firm, level ground.
x During hitching, nobody may stand between the tractor vehicle and the
trailer.
x After every hitching operation the correct locked status of the trailer
coupling must be checked by means of the control pin or the remote
indicator. Only drive the rig in the correctly locked status.
x The remote indicator does not exempt the driver from the obligation to
check before driving off subject to StVZO (Regulations Authorising the
Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic). Before driving off, among other things,
the coupling status of the mechanical connection device for the tractor
vehicle and the trailer must be checked.

Risk of injuries!
The installation of the hitch on the prime mover must be carried out in
accordance with Annex VII of EC Directive 94/20, Annex 7 of
must be checked accordingly. As applicable, the relevant licensing regulati-
ons in the respective country must be observed.
§§ 19, 20 and 21 StVZO apply in Germany. The mechanical remote control
and the mechanical remote indicator are equipment with safety compo-
nents. This is why the installation must be documented.
The hitch, the remote control and the remote indicator are
connection devices which require model approval and are
!
subject to the highest safety requirements.
Alterations of any kind shall cause the warranty to lapse and invalidate the
type approval, which in turn invalidates the vehicle operation permit.
