started again after the electrical connection
between the vehicle and trailer is disconnec-
ted, the vehicle will rise by around 15 mm to
the normal level.
If the distance between the ball head and
drawbar is insufficient, body parts could
become trapped if they are between the vehi-
cle's ball head and the trailer's drawbar.
Ensure that nobody is in the immediate
#
vicinity of the vehicle's ball head after
the trailer cable has been disconnected
and the vehicle has been restarted.
