If available, pick up the ends of the chains and cross the chains.
3. Loop the ends over the hooks provided on the towing vehicle.
4. If no special hooks are provided, secure the chains to the ball hitch.
Ensuring emergency braking in the case of breakaway from the towing vehicle
If the compressor breaks away from the towing vehicle, the cable tightens and pulls on the emer‐
gency brake (parking brake).
It is essential that the breakaway cable is threaded through its guides for correct emergency brak‐
ing.

Unintentional brake application.
If the breakaway cable is too short it can apply the brakes when rounding a curve. This impo‐
ses high wear on the braking system.
➤ Make sure the breakaway cable is long enough.
