Description
The contact consists of two parts:
The vehicle section - contact box
Trailer section - socket
The socket and contact box have conduit entries
dimensioned for cables Ø10.5 mm - Ø17.5 mm. The
VBG Kontakt 14, 17 and 22 are designed such that the
socket automatically disconnects if you happen to forget
about it when uncoupling the trailer.
Identify all parts before assembly. All assembly and
service work must be performed carefully and in a
professional manner.
Follow the instructions. Always observe the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions for electrical installation on
the vehicle.
Leave all instructions and directions in the vehicle for
the customer for reference in future service and
maintenance.
