Default AL-KO Cobra Trailer Coupler Keyhole Slot?

Le mardi 14 février 2017 14:10:16 UTC+1, OHM Ω http://aviation..derosaweb.net a écritÂ*:
On the side of the AL-KO 2" coupler on my Cobra trailer there is a "keyhole" shaped hole. What is it for? It sure looks like some type of locking mechanism but no one seems to know what it is for. The coupler is marked "CL4 2" AL-KO Elkhart, IN). I contacted AL-KO in the UK and they directed me to AL-KO in the US but I never got a response.

Thanks, John

I think that it's a slot where you can intruduce amortise lock. People use that to avoid other people driving away with their trailer ;-).
