Unhitching
• Release the overrun coupling so that the gangway bellows
o
are expanded.
• Release the contact-breaking cable and pull out the 13-pole plug.
• Slowly pull the lever upwards into position
k
to switch o the
stabilizing device.
• Pull the lever backwards and, at the same time, further into
position
j
so that the coupling opens.
• After the front landing wheel has been rotated out, the caravan
can be disconnected from the base vehicle.

Activation of the stabilization system
• To activate the stabilization system, the operation lever must be
moved downward out of the closed position
k
until it locks
in
l
. The spring corpus will become tense in the process,
so that contact pressure is created on the coupling ball via the
friction elements. Afterward, the operation lever lies approxima-
tely parallel to the drawbar axle.
Shuto of the stabilization system
• Bring the operation lever slowly upward into the open position
(position
k
) to shut o the system.

Inspection of hitch
• The ball coupling is closed when the lever rests in positi
on
k
or
l
and the green pin of the hitching display
m
is visible.
If the WS 3000 is not properly attached to the cou-
pling ball, the caravan can detach from the base vehi-
cle. It must not be possible to release the ball coupling
from the coupling ball when the front landing wheel is
lowered.
Although it is possible to drive without activating the
stabilizing device, e.g. when shunting, we do not
recommend that you do so.
If you do not plan on using the caravan for a longer
period of time, you should store it with the ball cou-
pling closed.

Controlling the stabilizing device
After having hitched and activated the stabilizing device, you can
then control the state of the friction pads:
- If the wear indicator
n
is in the green (OK) zone, the friction
pads are suitable for driving.
- If the indicator is in the yellow transition zone, the friction pads
must be replaced without delay.
- If the indicator is in the red (STOP) zone, there is no stabilizing
function. Permission to drive at 100 km/h is immediately
cancelled.

Only uncouple the camper when it is in a horizontal
position, never anywhere near uphill or downhill slopes.
