Breakaway cable
Caution!
Danger due to uncoupling of trailer! Always route
the breakaway cable through the breakaway cable
guide ring!
Attach the breakaway cable in such a way that cor-

nering is not impeded.
The breakaway cable must not be wrapped around

the jockey wheel.
Observe country-specifi c regulations when attaching the
breakaway cable.
Jockey wheel
Ensure that the jockey wheel is seated securely.

Parking
If the trailer is to be uncoupled from the towing ve-

hicle:
the parking brake must be applied.

 the trailer must be secured by means of two
additional chocks.
 When parking the vehicle-trailer combination, apply
the parking brake of the trailer.
Danger - risk of injury!
The trailer may roll back 25 - 30 cm before the full
braking force is applied! Ensure that there is suffi ci-
ent space when parking the trailer.

Assembly

Installation on the vehicle must meet the require-

ments of Directive 94/20/EC, Annex VII.
 Any applicable installation guidelines must be taken
into consideration.
The breakaway cable must always be properly in-

serted through a breakaway cable guide ring (
133 5318_g
The hand-brake lever may not rest on the ground in

an emergency. It is essential that appropriate clea-
rance be provided (
Warning - risk of accident!
In an emergency, it must be ensured that the hand-
brake lever remains free to move after activation
using the breakaway cable (hand-brake in closed
position).
If the hand-brake were to contact the surface of the
roadway, the emergency brake would no longer
function!
AL-KO recommends mounting a support clip
( 3-2) and testing the free movement with the
hand-brake fully engaged (emergency brake ac-
tivated).

Operation

Adjustment of the inertia braking system
Attention crushing!
1. Unplug the spring cotter pin
2. Release and turn the stop handle
as it will go.
3. Adjust the IBS clutch component using the handle
upwards (50°) or downwards (10°) as far as it
will go.
4. Tighten the stop handle and secure it with a stroke
of hammer (hard rubber hammer).
5. Retighten the stop handle after about 50 km.
If the drawbar is not in use over a longer period,
the laterals can become unfastened up-, and side-
ward by jerky movements.
Apply the handbrake:
Always tighten the handbrake beyond the dead-centre
position (1).
Release the handbrake:
2).
Set the handbrake lever back to its original position. The
dead-centre point is clearly sensible.
