COUPLING TYPES AK160 & AK300
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
COUPLING UP
Open coupling handle. To do this pull the coupling handle up
(Fig 33) in the direction of the arrow.
The coupling mechanism has a xed open position, ie.
as long as the coupling head is not placed on the ball the
coupling will remain open.
Put the open coupling onto the towball. The coupling
handle automatically and audibly clicks into position.
In the interests of safety, press the handle down by
hand (Fig 33).
The coupling head is correctly connected when the green
cylinder part of the safety indicator is visible (when viewed
from the side - Fig 33/ Item 2).
The coupling mechanism is correctly engaged when the
coupling handle can no longer be pressed down any further
(by hand).

CAUTION
If the coupling head is not correctly hitched onto the towball,
then the caravan/trailer can become disconnected from the
towing vehicle.
UNCOUPLING
Open the coupling handle and lift the coupling head from
the towball. When there are higher nose loads, coupling and
uncoupling can be made easier by using the jockey wheel.
