COUPLINGS
CRUISEMASTER DO35
COUPLING:
1. The caravan should only be coupled on level ground.
2. Make sure towing pin and universal is free of sand, dirt and foreign objects,
and is lightly lubricated.
3. Raise height of trailer coupling above vehicle towing pin by adjusting the
RV jack.
4. Push and hold lock button down, push the locking plate back to fully open
position until the lock button springs back.
5. Align coupling over towing pin by moving either vehicle or trailer, and lower.
6. Ensure that the hitch is seated properly on the pin.
7. Push the lock button to release the plate into the locked position.
8. Assemble the dust cover by snapping in the back edge of the seal first and
then pushing on the front.
9. Dust cover will emit an audible snap when assembled correctly.
10. Release handbrake.
UN-COUPLING:
1. Trailer should only be uncoupled on level ground.
2. If uneven surface, leave the chains on until finished unhitching the caravan.
3. Engage handbrake and chock wheels if required.
4. Remove dust cover, tow plug, camera lead, brake-safe lanyard and safety chains.
5. Push and hold lock button down, push the lock plate to fully open position until the
lock button springs back.
6. Lower jack leg to raise the height of trailer above vehicle towing pin.
HANDBRAKE ADJUSTMENT:
The cable should be adjusted in such a way that when the handbrake is disengaged
there is some slack in the cable to ensure the brakes will not be dragging during
normal operation. It is recommended to adjust this so that at the highest engaged
position of the handbrake, the attachment lever is vertical. A further check should
be made with the suspension at both ends of its travel to ensure the brakes do not
operate in the bump and rebound conditions.
