Comment

In order for the trailer to be properly connected, the clutch claw must completely enclose the ball head. If the fuse snaps in, it is guaranteed that the clutch claw cannot dissolve independently. Check this with hand and eye. In addition, trailers with a permissible total mass of over 750 kg must also be secured with a tear -off rope. Check before driving as to whether it is appropriate. After you have checked all the connections, you must also check the lighting before starting drive.
