Note:
When fitting the trailer coupling the Council Directive 89/173 EEC
and the relevant national regulations must be observed. The coupling
must be fitted in accordance with these assembly and operating
instructions.
If the installation of the trailer coupling should alter the load values of
the vehicle (e.g. permissible axle load, total weight, permissible vertical
load) the vehicle documents must be altered accordingly.
We reserve the right to make technical alterations.

The safety instructions are summarised in a single chapter.
In any situation where the user of the trailer coupling is at
risk, the safety instructions are repeated in the individual
sections and marked with the warning symbol shown here.
When handling trailer couplings, tractor vehicles and trailers, the relevant
safety regulations in the respective country must be observed. Any safety
instructions in the operating manual of the tractor vehicle and the trailer
remain valid and must be observed.
For operation, maintenance and assembly, the safety instructions listed
below must be observed. Further safety instructions are then given in the
individual case which relate directly to the respective activity.
Safety instructions for operation
x The trailer coupling may only be operated by authorised persons.
x The installation and operatinginstructionsoftherespective trailer coupling

x Only use the trailer coupling and the calotte of the trailer if they are in
perfect technical condition.
x Only carry out hitching / unhitching operations on firm, level ground.
x During hitching, nobody may stand between the tractor vehicle and the
trailer.
x After every hitching operation, the correct locked status of the trailer
coupling must be checked by means of the control pin or the remote
indicator. Only drive the rig in the correctly locked status
x Never reach into the opened coupling.
Safety instructions for maintenance
x For maintenance work, only use the specified lubricants.
x Maintenance work may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Safety instructions for installation
x Installation may only be carried out by authorised workshops.
x Installation must be carriedoutincompliancewiththe relevant accident pre-

Alterations of any kind shall cause the warranty to lapse and invalidate
the model approval, which in turn invalidates the vehicle operation
permit.

x Remove locking pin (D, see fig. 2) as necessary
x Remove linchpin and pin (B).
x Place the ball coupling in the guide rails of the drawbar.
Attention: Hold the ball coupling with a firm grip. Risk of accident!
x Fix the ball coupling at the desired height with the pins (B) on the
left and right.
x Secure the ball coupling with the linchpins on the left and right.
Note: The guide rail (F) of the ball coupling may not project
beyond the guide rails of the drawbar.
(Exception: Fendt drawbar – see Fendt Operating Instructions)
