German term or phrase: Schlepphahn
Hello everyone,

I am having trouble finding the right term for Schlepphahn. It seems to be a stop valve or something similar.

Das Abschleppen durch ein Fahrzeug gleicher Bauart oder ein Fahrzeug mit SA-3
Kupplung erfolgt beim Ausfall der Energieversorgung bzw. Ausfall der Leittechnik.
Dabei ist wie folgt vorzugehen:
- Schlepphahn MDG 1 [221.3/11] betätigen (löst Federspeicher
durch den HLL-Druck)

Thanks in advance

Tow release (mechanism)


Explanation:
It is not a valve, but a release.

I am not completely sure going by the context, but it seems that this tow release, when operated, releases the spring brake actuator.

Tow release is a regular English term
