WARNING
Carefully remove the cap for the mounting recess - there is a risk of hand
■
injury.
Keep your hands outside the lever's range of motion when attaching the ball
■
head – there is a risk of finger injury.
Never attempt to pull the operating lever upwards forcibly to turn the key.
■
Doing so would mean the ball head is not attached correctly.
CAUTION
After removing the key, always replace the cap on the lock of the operating lev-
■
er – there is a risk of dirt getting into the lock.
Keep the mounting recess of the towing equipment clean at all times. Such dirt

prevents the ball head from being attached securely.
After removing the ball head, always place the cap on the mounting recess.
■
Remove the cover from the rear bumper with care - there is a risk of paint dam-
■
age to the bumper and the cap.
