DANGER
Increased risk of accident due to improper opera-

The safety of the coupling can only be verified by
noting the position of the coupling pin (3).

after a trailer has been coupled (see decal informa-
tion).

beyond its guide.
It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the
coupling pin is fully engaged before towing a trailer.
WARNING

– Do not reach into the open coupling.

rolling away, e.g. use wheel chocks.
– Slowly move the
truck backwards.
– Stop just in front of the drawbar.

ote control switch for
