Accident simulation:
If the trailer become detached while driving, then it is braked
by the hand brake (Fig. 19 /2) being applied by the safety
cable (Fig. 19 /1) so that the trailer can‘t roll away out of
control.
The safety cable breaks, the brake is actuated, the trailer
supports itself on the support bracket (Fig. 19 /3) and
comes to a standstill.
Do not carry out an emergency stop as otherwise the
trailer could wedge itself underneath the car.
After an accident, check the ball head coupling, electric
plug, clamping device, etc. for damage and replace any
faulty components.
Replace the safety cable.
If necessary, take the trailer to a testing facility for
vehicles and have it thoroughly inspected.
