B. UNMOUNTING
1. Remove cover cap from the lock, and press the cover cap on to the key bow. Open the lock
with the key (key cannot be removed when the lock is open).
2. Hold the ball rod tight, pull out the handwheel, and turn it in the direction of the arrow thus
opposing the spring tension, until further turning is no longer possible.
Remove the ball rod from the reception tube by pushing it down.
Then the handwheel can be released because it will lock automatically in tensioned position.
In this context please also do notice the stand of the symbols on the handwheel as well as
on enclosed sketch "removable ball rod".
3. Safely store the ball rod in the boot protected against soiling.
As already mentioned, the key cannot be removed in the tensed condition.
Fit dust cap in the towball socket.
C. TO BE OBSERVED!
Mounting and unmounting of the ball rod can be carried out without any problems with normal
hand strenght.
Never use any auxiliary means, tools, etc., because they could damage the mechanism.

luggage compartment, on a position easily, seen.
