Closing the
towbar coupling
After lubrication you must close the towbar
coupling.
• Move the lever (1) briefly in the direction of
the coupling jaw (observe the arrow).
• Remove any grease that emerges.
G
Risk of injury when manually closing the towbar coupling.
When closing, the lever moves down with great force in the direction of the
coupling jaw. Start the closing process only by moving the lever briefly in
the direction of the coupling jaw with the ball of your hand.
If you hold the lever and move it down, it may carry your hand with it and
crush it.
