Noises
Certain noises can occur during the course
of the drive; these noises, however, have no
inuence on the operative effectiveness of the
tension ball coupler.
Possible causes of these noises can be:
1. a dacromet-coated coupling ball on the
base vehicle,
2. a galvanized coupling ball on the base
vehicle,
3. a damaged or dirty coupling ball on the base
vehicle,
4. dirty friction elements on the tension ball
coupler.
