Activation of the stabilization system
• To activate the stabilization system, the
operation lever must be moved downward out
of the closed position (2) until it locks in (3).
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 approxi-
mately parallel to the drawbar axle. Driving
without the stabilization system is possible,
however, and under certain street conditions,
i.e. in ice and snow, advisable.
Inspection of the stabilization system
• After hitching and activating the stabilization
system, the friction lining can be inspected.
The rating plate (type plate) mounted onto the
operation lever (Figure 2-1) indicates a tri-
angular eld marked with +/- signs, parallel to
the slotted hole in the lever which points in the
forward-driving direction. The tension ball
coupler is adjusted on the front side in such
a manner that the cap of a metal pin, visible in
the slotted hole (Fig. 2-2) lies under the "+/-"
signs on the marked side of the triangle.
Shutoff of the stabilization system
• Bring the operation lever slowly upward into
the open position (position 2) to shut off the
system.
Unhitching
• Pull the operation lever slowly upward into the
open position (position 1). After releasing the
lighting plug and pull cord, the trailer can
be unhitched from the base vehicle (e.g. with
the help of a drawbar track wheel).
We recommend that you park the trailer with
the tension ball coupler closed if it will not
be used for a signicant period of time.
To do this, lift the opration lever while pulling
the ball socket (movable element with fric-
tion lining - Fig. 3.1) forward and slowly
close the service lever.
