Uncoupling
Actuate the trailer screw parking
brake/spring-loaded parking brake
(see page 77 or 79) and the towing
vehicle parking brake.
Secure the trailer with wheel chocks
against rolling away (see page 115).
Extend the support leg of the geared
support winch down to the ground or
until the trailer is roughly in the
horizontal and the towing eye is
slightly raised from the catcher
(see page 96).
Disconnect the lines in the following
order from the towing vehicle:
1. Brake line (yellow)
2. Supply line (red)
3. Lighting cable
4. EBS / ABS cable
(see “Coupling” on page 73)
Plug the line heads into the respective
parking socket or place the lines
securely on the drawbar
(see page 73).
Unlock and open the pin coupling on
the towing vehicle (see page 58).
Only drive the towing vehicle forward
carefully once there is nobody in the
danger area.
Close the pin coupling.
If necessary, attach park warning
signs to the trailer (see page 118).
