3. INSTALLATION
(See Fig. 1)
Important note:
The pertinent regulations (e.g. Accident Prevention Regulations for Vehicles) and the attachment guidelines
of the vehicle manufacturers must be observed when installing the coupling!
Attachment of the coupling:
Official national regulations must be observed. For example: in Germany the obligations §13 FZV regarding
the data in the car license concerning the permissible trailer weight as well as the permissible vertical load
must be considered.
Installation:
• Push slider from above into the slots of the guide rails of the coupling frame.
• Shift locking pins (8) right and left into the slider by use of the handle (9).
• Move to the preferred height position, release handle (9) and engage automatically into the appropriate
holes of the coupling frame.
• In general it is to be checked after each adjustment of the slider whether the locking pins are properly
engaged in the holes of the guide rails. Only then the correct locking state is given.
• The guide of the slider (120 mm long) must not project beyond the guide slots of the frame, both above
and down.

4. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION:

The pertinent safety regulations must be observed when coupling and uncoupling.
No one may stand between the vehicles. The coupling may only be operated in locked condition.
When coupling and uncoupling, the drawbar must be as horizontal as possible relative to the coupling.
The maximum possible inclination of the drawbar in the axial direction when coupling or uncoupling is 10°.
4.1 Description:
The coupling is a non-automatic trailer coupling, its clevis dimensions and field of application complying
with DIN 11028 as well RREG 2009/144/EC and VO (EU) 2015/208.
The non-automatic trailer coupling can be pivoted through 360°, the torque required for this purpose being
0.1 - 0.15 kNm.
4.2 Operation:
4.2.1 Uncoupling and opening the coupling:
Use supporting jacks or similar to stop the trailer rolling away. The coupling and uncoupling occurs by
introducing respectively removing the coupling pin (5) into respectively out of the hole of the clevis (2). The
coupling pin has to be secured against unintentional removing or loosing. This will be achieved by locking
with a spring pin (4). Never uncouple if the trailer is under tension or pressure.
The trailer ring of the drawbar must always hit the cone of the clevis (2) when backing-up the tractor. Other-
wise, the clevis, the trailer ring and the coupling mechanism may be damaged.
