Handling intructions
for removable ball with eccentric system
Remember:
–
Manually (without applying any aids) carry out the releasing or engaging actions on the
latch lever (4).
–
When nothing is drawn, the drawing ball (1) shall be removed from the house (3),
because it reduces the visibility of the car registration plate.
–
In order to maintain a trouble-free operation of the moving component parts of the
house (3) during the whole period of guarantee, when nothing is drawn for a while, after
removing the drawing ball, put the end cap (wich can also be used as cover piece of the
drawing ball) onto the open end of the house (3).
–
Always apply grease onto the drawing ball (1) to achieve a better abrasion resistance
(type LZS-2 or equivalent is recommended).
–
The drawing ball and the latch lever should always be taken with yourself (for instance,
in the luggage trunk), even when they are in dismounted state. The carrying case
supplied should be used for this purpose.
Dismounting the drawing ball:
–
Pull down the guard pin (5) from the end of the latch lever (4).
–
Pull aside the latch lever (4) to the right to the maximum possible extent, then turn it
applying an angle of 90°. In this case, it will not bump into the washer (2) when it is
loosened. Finally, let it go back to its original position.
–
Loosen the latch lever (4) and rotate until it can easily be pulled out of the house (3).
–
Take the drawing ball (1) out of the house (3).
–
Put the end cap onto the open end of the house (3), so that the washer (2) can fit into
the groove of the cap.
Mounting the drawing ball:
–
Remove the end cap.
–
Push the drawing ball (1) completely into the house (3) in upside-up position, until
catch.
–
Push the latch lever (4) through the bore of the house (3) and the stalk of the drawing
ball (1).
–
Slide the guard pin (5) onto the end of the latch lever (4).
–
Fasten the latch lever (4), then pulling into left hand side direction, rotate it around its
axis upwards, until the green arrow on the latch lever reaches the green zone on the
stalk of the drawing ball (at this stage of the procedure the latch lever shall be parallel
with the stalk of the drawing ball).
