BALL COUPLING (OPTION)
The handle of the ball coupling and the
handbrake lever may never be used as a
manoeuvring aid; internal components
may get damaged!
The coupling (ball coupling) on the tow bar is type
approved. The maximum load at the coupling may not
be exceeded.
When coupling lower the support leg to the ground.
Reverse the car up to the compressor or, in the case of
a small compressor, manoeuvre the compressor up to
the car's trailer coupling.
Coupling:
Open coupling jaw by pulling the lever vigorously
upwards in the direction of the arrow. Lower the
opened coupling onto the ball of the vehicle coupling
and the lever will automatically be lowered. Closing
and locking are carried out automatically. Check the
"+" (see figure) position!
Connect the breakaway cable and electrical plug
(option) to the towing vehicle. Raise the support leg
up fully and secure by firmly clamping it. Release
parking brake before setting off.
Visual check: the ball should no longer be visible
in coupled condition.
Uncoupling:
Lower the support leg. Disconnect breakaway cable
and electrical plug. Pull the lever vigorously upwards
in the direction of the arrow and hold. Lift the
compressor off the ball of the towing vehicle.
Secure the compressor by means of a wheel chock.

LIFTING INSTRUCTIONS
When lifting the compressor, the hoist has to be
placed in such a way that the compressor, which must
be placed level, is lifted vertically. Keep lifting
acceleration and retardation within safe limits.
The lifting eye should preferably be used. The lifting
eye is accessible when lifting the rubber flap (1).
Lifting acceleration and retardation
must be kept within safe limits
(maximum 2kg).
Helicopter lifting is not allowed.
Lifting is not allowed when the unit is
running.
Preferably use a lifting rope to avoid
damage to the lifting beam structure and
canopy.
Use a rope of ample capacity, that is
tested and approved according to local
safety regulations.
