Closing the

After lubrication you must close the towbar
coupling.

of the coupling jaw (observe the arrow).

G
Risk of injury when manually closing the towbar coupling!
When closing, the lever moves down with great force in the direction of the

the direction of th
e coupling jaw with the ball of your hand.
If you hold the lever and move it down, it may carry your hand with it and
crush it.
