An assistant can help in the hitching
operation by standing on the left hand side
of the drawbar (facing rear of car) and
extending an arm horizontally to indicate
position of the coupling. When reversing aim
the towball of the car directly at the caravan
drawbar. Remove towball cover and keep in
car.
Adjust the jockey wheel to ensure the cup is
high enough to slide over the towball.
Release caravan handbrake.
Position cup over the ungreased towball,
release and lift forward the large red
stabiliser handle (Fig. B, Page 10), lift forward
the exposed smaller black handle (Fig. B,

fitted with a visual indicator to show whether
or not it is properly connected to the towball.
A green band will show immediately below
the red indicator button on the hitch head
when a proper connection has been made.
(See Fig. D)
WARNING: If the green band is showing
when the hitch head is not connected
to the towball there is a fault - contact
your Dealer.
