and turn it clockwise to unlock.

anticlockwise to the stop. The tow
ball arm automatically swivels into
the midway position.

ball arm is not locked. This is
indicated by the warning tone and
the handwheel projects about five
millimetres from its housing.

steadily from its midway position
to the stop in the operating

background noise is not too high.
When the locking process is
completed, the warning tone
stops and the handwheel will
return to its original position.
