Operating instructions for the detachable ball bar
GB
Important!
Check
the following points to ensure correct
locking
of the detachable ball bar before each journey:
•
The green marking on the handwheel is aligned with the green area on the ball bar.
•
The handwheel is resting against the ball bar (no gap).
•
The lock is closed and the key is withdrawn. The handwheel cannot be pulled out.
•
The ball bar must be fully inserted into the receiver and be tight. Check by shaking it.
Repeat the installation procedure if any of the
4 checks is not satisfactory
.
To avoid the
risk of accidents
the towing device should not be used if any of the requirements is not met. Contact
the manufacturer if this occurs.
The ball bar can be easily
installed
and
removed
with the normal
force of your hands
.
Never use any sort of aids or tools etc. as this might damage the mechanism.
Never unlock if trailers are attached or load bearing implements mounted!
Always
remove the ball bar and
insert
the
plug
into
the receiver for journeys without a trailer or load bearing
implement. This is especially important if the tow ball impedes sight of the vehicle’s registration number or lights.
