Preparation for hitching/unhitching
• To hitch and unhitch, open the tension ball
coupler (lever in position
j
).
When dealing with higher drawbar
loads hitching and unhitching is
simplied by the use of a support
wheel.
Hitching
• The open tension ball coupler is set onto the
coupling ball of the base vehicle.
The tension ball coupler usually closes by
applying downward pressure since the sup-
port load is
sufcient (lever in position
k
).
WARNING: Ensure that the metal of
your ball coupler is bright and free of
grease.
3.3 Safety coupling
WS 3000
The caravan has been tted with a safety cou-
pling with tracking stabiliser to prevent it from
becoming pendulous or pitching. This system
conforms to ISO 11555-1. It has been permitted
for use up to a maximum speed of 100 km/h.
Please note the additional operating instructions
and the manufacturer's safety instructions.
WARNING: A safety coupling does
not suspend the laws of physics.
If the
limits (of speed and weight conditions)
are exceeded, traction and cornering
force are reduced, which then beco-
mes the responsibility of the driver.
Therefore,
avoid elevated risks.
