WARNING
Risk of component damage if the tiller in the tow
coupling is tilted!
The tiller should be kept as horizontal as possible
when towing. This ensures that the rotation range
is sufficient at the top and bottom. The authorised
service centre can adjust the assembly height for
the tow coupling to the tiller height if necessary.
– Make sure that the tiller is level.
– To change the coupling height, contact the
authorised service centre.
NOTE
When manoeuvring in restricted areas, take
into account the projection of the coupling.
