CAUTION
If the handwheel is not turned all the way to the stop, then it will return to
■
its initial position when the tow bar is removed, and will rest on the tow bar
and not engage into the ready position. The tow bar will then need to be
brought into this position before the next time it is fitted.
The mounting recess must be closed with the cover following removal. This
■
prevents foreign bodies from getting into the mounting recess.
Note
We recommend putting the protective cover onto the ball head before re-
■
moving the tow bar.
Clean any dirt from the tow bar before stowing it away in the box with the
■
vehicle tool kit.
