Fitting a bicycle carrier on the mechanically positioned ball head

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
The maximum permitted load on a bicycle carrier mounted on the ball head is 75 kg at a distance of 300 mm. This distance refers to the gap
between the centre of gravity of the bicycle carrier and the middle of the ball head.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the towing bracket with a bicycle carrier fitted to the ball head could cause injuries and accidents.
Never exceed the listed payload and distance.
Do not attach a bicycle carrier underneath the ball head on the neck of the ball head. The shape of the ball head neck and the design of the
bicycle carrier could result in the bicycle carrier becoming misaligned with the vehicle.
Read and follow the assembly instructions provided by the bicycle carrier manufacturer.
NOTICE
Considerable vehicle damage could occur if the maximum permitted payload or distance is exceeded.
Never exceed the values specified for payload and distance.
