Operating the trailer couplings
Risk of injury to persons in the danger zone!
When coupling or uncoupling a trailer, the operator can
fail to see and therefore cause injury to persons between
the tractor vehicle and trailer.
► Ensure that nobody is in the danger zone between the
tractor vehicle and the trailer.
This Operator’s Manual describes how to use and operate
the following trailer couplings:
• Maneuvering coupling
• Automatic trailer coupling
• Autohitch coupling
See chapter
Trailer operation on page 5-12 for the
requirements for trailer coupling operation.
The permissible usage and trailer weights are to be
observed and can be found in chapter
Payload and axle
load on page 9-12.
