-The towed load must not exceed the permissible total weight.

The total weight of the vehicle is given on the identifi- cation plate and in the tables of weights in the techni- cal data.

-Attach the towing device (in case of failure of the brake only a rigid tow bar) to the upper link support (1).

-Set the forward/reverse selector lever to the centre position (no direction of travel selected).

-Let the engine run so that the power steering is in operation.
