220 Trailer found in the vehicle's registration papers. These values can also be found on the type plate of the trailer coupling, the trailer and the vehicle identification plate. Where the values differ, the lowest is valid. Coupling up G WARNING If the trailer coupling has too much longitudi- nal play, the trailer can tear away. You could lose the semitrailer as a result. There is a risk of an accident. Check the trailer coupling daily for longitudi- nal play by moving the towbar body of the trailer coupling forwards and back firmly. Have any longitudinal play eliminated at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as pos- sible. Driving mode Example: trailer coupling :
Control lever ; Coupling pin G WARNING There is a risk of the drawbar swinging out when coupling up the trailer. In this case, the trailer drawbar swings uncontrollably from side to side. If a person is in the area of dan- ger, there is a risk of injury. Make sure that no persons are in the area of danger. Set the trailer drawbar to the correct height before coupling up, e.g. by using the height adjustment device. Example: open trailer coupling : Locking pin ; Control lever X Couple/decouple the trailer (see the man- ufacturer's operating instructions of the trailer coupling). Couple up the trailer by reversing the tractor vehicle. Never let the trailer run on.
Connecting cables and compressed- air lines G WARNING If you uncouple a trailer with an engaged over- run brake, you could trap your hand between the vehicle and the trailer drawbar. This poses a risk of injury. Do not uncouple a trailer with an engaged overrun brake. Overview ! Arrange the cables and compressed-air lines in such a way that they easily yield to all movements without tension, kinking or friction when cornering, etc. Before con- necting the cable, make sure the voltage rating of the consumer equipment on the trailer is correct.
