COUPLING HEAD AK 161
for braked trailers up to 1600kg

1. SAFETY ADVANTAGE 1
Open position
The hand grip points diagonally upwards and indicates to the operator that it is open.

2. SOFT TOUCH GRIP
A soft and therefore adhesive plastic mixture is used in the red area of the hand grip. In addition, the projection on the end of the hand grip serves as an anti-slip protection.

3. SAFETY ADVANTAGE 2
Closed position
The vehicle's ball is fully inserted and has released the securing lever. Only now does the hand grip assume the horizontal position and indicate to the operator that a secure connection has been created.

4. WEAR INDICATOR
As long as the marking is in the positive range, the tow hitch is OK.

5. SAFETY ADVANTAGE 3
Indicator for correct hitching
In the closed position, the green safety indicator is additionally pushed out by the vehicle's coupling head, and is therefore visible. It once again indicates to the operator that the trailer is securely connected to the vehicle. This prevents unsuccessful locking. The journey may now start.

6. Securing lever for flawless hitching

7. SOFT-DOCK AS STANDARD
Protection against scratching
Shin protection

8. OPTIONAL LOCK ACCESSORY (not included in scope of delivery)
Effective protection against rapid unauthorised access in the coupled and uncoupled state.
