caravan has been hooked up and the
stabiliser activated, the condition of the
friction linings can be checked. The wear
indicator located on the top of the
operating lever displays a bar graph
marked with + and - symbols. The ball
coupling is set at the factory such that the
pin visible in the oblong hole is positioned
under the + symbol on the bar graph
when new friction pads have been fitted.

fully enclose the ball-head and be
