WARNING
Never leave the ball-headed bar unsecured
●
in the boot. It could be damaged in the event
of sudden braking, putting the safety of pas-
sengers at risk!
● Never disassemble the ball-headed bar
with the trailer still hitched.
CAUTION
● If you do not turn the manual regulator
fully, it will return to its original position
when the ball-headed bar is removed. The
manual regulator will be stuck to the ball-
headed bar and you will not be able to put it
in the service position. Therefore, before you
assemble it again, you must place the ball-
headed bar in this position.
● When disassembling, place the cap on the
clamping bush holder's key slot. This way
you will prevent dirt from entering the clamp-
ing bush.
Note
● Before disassembling the ball-headed bar,
we recommend placing the cover on the ball
head.

Clean the ball-headed bar thoroughly be-

Use and maintenance
Cover the clamping bush with the cap to pre-
vent dirt from entering.
Before hooking on the trailer, check the ball
head and, if necessary, lubricate it with ade-
quate lubricant.
Place the protective cover over the ball head
when storing the bar. This way, you will avoid
getting the boot dirty.
If it gets dirty, clean and dry the clamping
bush thoroughly with an appropriate prod-
uct.
CAUTION
The top part of the clamping bush opening is
lubricated. Be careful not to remove this lu-
brication.
