General information:

The vehicle manufacturer's specifications regarding trailer load and nose weight are deci-
sive for driving, and the values specified for the towing hitch must not be exceeded.
The towing hitch serves for towing trailers fitted with ball couplings and for use with load carriers

with a trailer must be adapted to the road conditions. The vehicle's handling is affected when a trailer
is being towed. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

These installation and operating instructions must be enclosed with the vehicle papers.

Installation instructions:

The towing hitch is a safety component and must only be installed by qualified personnel.
Any alteration or conversion to the towing hitch is prohibited, and would lead to cancellation of
design certification.
Remove insulating compound and underseal from vehicle (if present) in the area of the mat-
ing surfaces of the towing hitch. Seal any bare bodywork and bores with anti-corrosive paint.
Operating instructions:
Again tighten all securing bolts of the towing hitch after approx. 1000 trailer km, observing speci-
fied tightening torques.
The towing hitch must be kept clean and greased. However, if a stabilisation device, e.g.
Westfalia "SSK", is used, the towing hitch must be free from grease. Follow the instructions in
the relevant operating instructions.
