Checking the
bearing
• Check the bearing of the towbar coupling by
vigorously shaking it up and down and in
the longitudinal direction (arrows). Do not
hold the towbar coupling by the coupling
jaw, but rather at the top and bottom of the
coupling head.
The vertical play at the coupling head must be
no more than 3 mm (0.1 in).

Risk of injury!
Ensure that the towbar coupling is closed for the following work (lever
points downwards). The lever may otherwise come down with great force
and cause serious injury to your hand.
