Located at the rear of the lift truck, this device is used to attach a trailer. Its capacity is limited for each lift truck by the
Authorised Gross Vehicle Weight (A.G.V.W), tractive effort and maximum vertical force on the coupling point. This information
is given on the manufacturer's plate fixed to each lift truck (See chapter : IDENTIFICATION OF THE LIFT TRUCK in paragraph
: 2 - DESCRIPTION).
- To use a trailer, see current regulations in your country (Maximum running speed, braking, maximum weight of trailer, etc.).
- Verify the trailer's condition before using it (Tyre condition and pressures, electrical connection, hydraulic hose, braking
system…).
Do not tow a trailer or accessory which is not in perfect working order. Using a trailer in poor condition may effect the lift
truck's steering and braking, and hence safety.
If a third party helps in coupling or uncoupling the trailer, this person must be permanently visible to the driver and wait until
the lift truck has stopped, the handbrake is on and the engine is switched off before performing the operation.

COUPLING AND UNCOUPLING THE TRAILER
- To couple the trailer, position the lift truck as close as possible to the trailer ring.
- Put the handbrake on and switch off the IC engine.
- Remove the clip 1, lift the trailer pin 2 and place or remove the trailer ring.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught or crushed during this operation.
Do not forget to put clip 1 back in place.
When uncoupling, make sure that the trailer is supported independently.
