2.1 Hitching

(Fig. 4)
Note: The relevant national regulations (f.e. safety-at-work)
must be observed when hitching and unhitching.
!
No one must stand between the vehicles!
x To engage, press hand lever upwards until it engages
x Check whether funnel is locked.
x Position drawbar eye in centre of funnel
x Disengage brake on front axle of turntable drawbar trailer
x Set drawbar eye to height of coupling point (centre of funnel).
x Slowly reverse prime mover
When hitching to a central-axle trailer (see fig. 4):
x Reverse prime mover very slowly
x The drawbar eye must be inserted into the middle of the funnel.
Otherwise the funnel, the drawbar eye or the drawbar landing
legs might be damaged.
Check: After each hitching procedure, it is essential to check
that the hitch is correctly closed and locked. The lock-control
!
pin must not protrude out of its guide after hitching (see fig. 5)
If the lock-control pin protrudes from its guide (in the dark detectable
by touching it), the hitching procedure has been
carried out incorrectly and there is the risk of an accident!
Driving a trailer in that condition is not allowed.
If not correctly coupled:
– move the prime mover forward (approximately 1 m and revers)
– check again
In-cab status indicator upgrade kit available for retrofitting.
