Many motorists are known for certain that the Farkop can significantly relieve life if there is a need to transport own goods. Hiring a cargo taxi is usually unreasonable, which is why the installation of a pardon can become an excellent way out of the situation.

What is the hillock as a device

The hitch is still referred to as a traction coupling device. It is used to connect a car with a trailer for its towing. Some acquire it in the finished form, some prefer manufacturing with their own hands.

Tip: To pick up a device suitable for your brand, you can contact the service center or a specialized service station.

Before switching to the electrical part of the mounting of the Farck, we need to install it on the bumper. Usually fasten it for one of the towing lycs or the provided hole, which is intended for the hitch, but is closed with a plug.

If you want to consolidate such a device with your own hands, you may need additional holes in the bottom of the machine and its side member. It may be necessary for the welding machine and the electrogress welder services. Additionally, go to the sandpaper and the grinder to which the grinding circle can be attached.

Installation by car

The main order of action

First remove the bumper and cut the eye. Drill holes if there is a need and make welding fasteners.

This is how the trailer is connected by car:

1. We will need an observation pit on the overpass either in the garage, which we drive our vehicle.
2. Now we turn off the power from the power grid, throwing the "minus" terminal from the battery.
3. Installation of hooks will need to remove all of the trunk and remove its upholstery.
4. The device itself needs to be attached to the place where it is planned to fasten and make the necessary markup.
5. At the point of attachment, the drill on both sides of the holes are drilled, which is better to handle the anti-corrosion tool to extend the service life;
6. As photo for this article suggests, we can tighten the coupling device using nuts, washers and bolts, as well as the key of the appropriate size.
7. Now it will be necessary to remove the load from the car frame and provide more reliable fastening. To do this, we make a couple of holes, at the bottom of the spar and from the inside of the luggage compartment with the installation of reinforcing lining.
8. Tighten all the necessary bolts with keys.

Using a connection scheme

The finished hill, as a rule, has already all the necessary holes for fastening, which took care of manufacturers of hoppers. Now we can start connecting the coupling device.

We can not do without a socket that connects the electrical part of the wiring of the car and the trailer. The diagram of the rosette of the headquart, as a rule, comes in the kit. As for the electrical equipment of the coupling device, it is a plug socket with a set of wires.

Bolted fixed on the bracket, the socket connects to the main wiring. When connected, you need to look at the colors of the wires according to the scheme. You need to connect to a standard connector, which can be 7-core and 13-core (only on foreign cars).

Tip: In case the wiring of the socket does not match the trailer wiring, then use adapters.

Installation on cars

The following is proposed for instructions, with which we can connect the pharg to the electronics of the machine:

• We need a hole located in the bottom of the trunk for connecting the outlet with the rest of the wiring. In the event that the coupling device is made independently, you will have to drill holes yourself. Think out the place of future placement;
• After the rosette on the hook is installed, shifted the wire through the hole in the trunk and connect to the outlet.

• During the connection, the wiring must be connected in such a way as not to confuse the order. If the wires are insecured by quantity, purchase an adapter for the outlet. Protect an electropacuit from external damage and will help a special tube in which you need to skip the set of wiring assembly;
• Secure the wires on the trunk walls, gently laid them up to the upholstery.
• You can connect a trailer, check what is height from the ground, and whether its stop signals, turns and running lights are operational.

Electro-work

Electrical equipment for captured-traction devices is another sphere than the manufacture of hoppers. When choosing a device, pick it up in such a way that it does not cover the car license plate. Sometimes for this purpose you have to cut part of the bumper.

Note! If you are not satisfied with such a technology, you will have to buy a bumper with a factory neckline.

There may be an inverse situation when there is no need for a coupling device. For example, the owner acquired a vehicle with a landmark installed, but wishes him to remove it. In this case, you will need to do the backup to disconnect the entire wiring collected together.

1. In the same way, as the connection of the rosette of the headquart was connected, in the same way we will turn it off.
2. It can be mechanically dismantled with a special key.
3. If it is not - then you will have to cut bolts or welding seams. Such work is better to charge experienced locksmiths and electricians.

What are the coupling devices

There are the following types of hooks, based on fastening and purpose:

• For example, fixed, which put on the body using bolts or welding. It is much more complicated to remove them, which is why they usually stand the long exploitation. Some owners of the machines must be able to shoot and install a new coupling device. In this case, removable headquarks will come to the rescue.
• Sometimes there are flange-type devices that are usually attached at a special vehicle platform. There is a classification of hinge on tonnage, as well as types of transport on which they are applied.

Until the recent past, the coupling problem was solved much easier - simply welded the hook to the bracket, and it was no longer possible to remove such a device. Today, such an approach looks at least, unreasonable, because it is better to acquire and put such a hinge that can be folded and hiding.

Since then, the production of hoppers stepped far ahead. In addition, the hook sticking out the back of the car creates an additional threat to a safe movement.

How to achieve connection strength

To make a compound with the headquarter even more reliable, enhancement plates go to it. For the device itself, we will need in the body of the hole with a diameter of 12.5 to 13 mm. Through the filling plate and the bolt with the bolt is fastened. It is advisable to put under the metal puckoo.
