If the ball coupling does not engage
properly or there are faults in the elec-
trical system or the towing bracket it-
self, do not use the towing bracket and
have it checked by a qualified workshop.

NOTICE
Do not aim a high-pressure cleaner or steam
cleaner directly at the swivelling ball coupling
or the fitted trailer socket. Seals could be
damaged or the grease required for lubrica-
tion could be washed off.
