bush is not dirty. Any dirt in the clamping bush must
be unconditionally removed prior to use, because it
prevents the safe fastening of the towing arm!
- (That is why is always necessary to replace the protective
plug into the clamping bush after removing the towing
arm.)
- 2 -
- Grip the towing arm (B) and bring the control lever (C)
from the storage position -arrow- to the defined mounting
position (i.e. when looking upon the towing arm from the
side of the control lever, the said lever must be directed
downwards to the right from the body of the towing arm,
and the surfaces of the revolving eccentric are parallel with
the axis of the body.)
- 3 -
- Open the lid of the lock (E) of the control lever (C), and
unlock the lock of the control lever by turning the key 90°
clockwise -arrow- (once the lock is unlocked, the key is in a
vertical position -detail-).
- In this position, the key cannot be removed from the
lock!
- 4, 5 -
- Grip the towing arm (B) with left hand, and fit it into the
clamping bush shifting it upwards vertically -arrow- so that
the ends of the eccentric may fit into the recess in the clam-
ping bush up to the stop.
- In this position, with right hand turn the control lever (C)
upwards -arrow- up to the stop. Hold the lever by the han-
dle (D), so that your fingers may not get caught between the
lever and the body of the towing arm, nor the inserted key
may get bent.
- Turn the key 90° anticlockwise -arrow- and secure the lock
of the control lever (once the lock is locked, the key is in a
horizontal position -detail-).
- Pull out the key and close the lid of the lock.
- Remove cover (F) from the ball journal -arrow-.
Finally, check whether the towing arm was mounted pro-
perly. Try its fitting by hand, shaking it strongly. Tilt the
socket of the electric installation downwards.
Important
- The towing arm cannot be fitted into the clamping bush
without unlocking the control lever.
