Operating instructions for the detachable ball bar
Important!
Check the following points to ensure correct locking of the detachable ball bar before each journey:
 The green marking on the handwheel is aligned with the green area on the ball bar.
 The handwheel is resting against the ball bar (no gap).
 The lock is closed and the key is withdrawn. The handwheel cannot be pulled out.
 The ball bar must be fully inserted into the receiver and be tight. Check by shaking it.
Repeat the installation procedure if any of the 4 checks is not satisfactory.
To avoid the risk of accidents the towing device should not be used if any of the requirements is not met.
Contact the manufacturer if this occurs.
The ball bar can be easily installed and removed with the normal force of your hands.
Never use any sort of aids or tools etc. as this might damage the mechanism.
Never unlock if trailers are attached or load bearing implements mounted!
Always remove the ball bar and insert the plug into the receiver for journeys without a trailer or load bearing
implement. This is especially important if the tow ball impedes sight of the vehicle's registration number or
lights.
