DANGER
If the coupling pin drops out during towing, the trail-
er will work loose and can no longer be controlled.
There is a risk of accident!
A protruding safety handle means that the tow bar
eye has not been coupled correctly. The trailer must
not be towed in this condition.
– Make sure that the control pin does not protrude
from the control bush.
– Repeat the coupling process if necessary.
– Remove any items used to prevent the trail-
er from rolling away.
– Tow the trailer.
Uncoupling model RO*841
– Take measures to prevent the trailer from
rolling away, e.g. use wheel chocks.
– Push the hand lever (7) upwards.
– Slowly drive the truck forwards until the tow-
bar eye and towing jaws are disconnected.
– Close the tow coupling.
Towing trailers
– Drivers who are towing a trailer for the first
time must practise driving with a trailer in a
suitable area.
– When passing through narrow road areas
(entrances, gates etc.), observe the dimen-
sions of the trailer and load.
– When towing multiple trailers, ensure a suf-
ficient minimum distance to fixed installa-
tions when turning and cornering.
The permissible length of the trailer trains de-
pends on the roadways to be driven and may
need to be determined during the test drive.
It is the responsibility of the operating compa-
ny to instruct the drivers regarding the permis-
sible number of trailers and, where required,
any additional speed reductions on individual
sections of the route.
