CHECKING
Check whether the coupling claw is correctly coupled to the towing vehicle. Check the following points:
The safety catch (position 2 in the overview) must be visible, Fig. 2. If the safety catch is not visible, the coupling is not locked. Press the coupling claw firmly onto the coupling ball or repeat the coupling process.
The arrow must point to the green (OK) area of the marking (position 4 in the overview), Fig. 3. If the arrow is outside the green area, check that the coupling claw is firmly seated, if necessary repeat the coupling procedure. If the coupling dog or the ball is worn out too much, the arrow is also outside the green area. Replace worn parts.
DECOUPLING
Actuate the safety lever (position 3 in the overview) and simultaneously pull the handle (position 1 in the overview) upwards. Lift the coupling claw of the trailer coupling.
THEFT PROTECTION
The locked coupling claw can be secured against theft by inserting a plug lock (LAS article number 10650) into the handle.
