Model designation:
This towing device may be fitted with towing hitches (A50-X class, 329059) and bolt couplings (e.g., C50 class) -
also in connection with removable plate systems.
The coupling point clearance of a towing hitch or a bolt coupling must be a minimum of 75 mm and a maximum of
170 mm from the rear of the screw-down area. The clearance from the upper mounting points "d" must be a
maximum of 19 mm above and 28 mm below.
General information:
The vehicle manufacturer's specifications regarding trailer load and nose weight are decisive for driving, and
the values specified for the towing hitch must not be exceeded.
The towed-vehicle assembly may only be used for towing trailers when fitted with a towing hitch or an automatic bolt
coupling and a matching towbar ball receptacle or towbar eye on the trailer. Only trailers which have been approved may
be used with a towing hitch.
Any use other than that specified is prohibited. Driving 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.
The fixing points specified as standard must be observed.
National guidelines concerning official approval of auxiliaries must be observed.
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 mating 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 specified 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.
As soon as the towing hitch diameter is 49.0 mm or less at any point, it must no longer be used for safety
reasons.
After the towing hitch is fitted, the empty weight of the vehicle increases by 18 kg.
