at any other time, and is in the locked
position, it must be pre-loaded. The
locked position can be identified by the
green mark of the flywheel coinciding
with the green mark of the tow bar and
by the flywheel in the stop position on
the tow bar, namely without slot (see
figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded
as follows: with the key inserted and
the lock open, extract the flywheel
following the direction of the arrow
and, to pre-load, rotate according to
the direction of the arrow b until the
stop. The release lever is engaged
and the locking mechanism remains
in the pre-loading position even when
the flywheel is released. The tow bar
must be inserted in the housing pipe
with the coupling pin for the installation.
Insert from the bottom and push
upwards. The mechanism then locks
automatically. Keep your hands far
from the flywheel, as it rotates during
the locking procedure.
2. The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin for
the installation. Insert from the bottom
and push upwards. The mechanism
then locks automatically. Keep your
hands far from the flywheel, as it
rotates during the locking procedure.
3. Close the lock and always remove
the key. The key cannot be removed
when the lock is released. Apply the
protection cap on the lock.

Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the protection cap from the
lock and press it on the key grip. Open
the lock with the key.
2. Hold the tow bar firmly, remove the

be dirtied or damaged by other
transported objects.

71)
The removable ball head bar must
be repaired and taken apart by the
manufacturer only.
72)
The accompanying plate must be in a
highly visible point of the vehicle, near the
mounting pipe or inside the boot.
73)
To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all dirt
deposits from the ball head bar and from
the mounting pipe. The mechanical
components must be serviced at the
specified intervals. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
74) Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with grease
without resin or oil. Lubrication is also a
further corrosion protection.

pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated cap fitted. The
ball head bar must never be treated with
steam jets.
