Coupling (aankoppelen)

Concept translation: the Dutch text prevails.

Piece 2 of 4, then the test

Is it really locked?

First look at the indicator on the coupling (koppeling), if it has one. Then lower the jockey wheel (neuswiel) until it pushes the drawbar (dissel) up: if the back of the car rises with it, the coupling sits firmly around the ball (kogel). Then wind the jockey wheel all the way in.

Instructors’ advice. A working method from driving lessons, not a rule of the law or of CBR.
