WARNING
●
Never leave the ball-headed bar unsecured
in the boot. It c
ould 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 y
ou 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.
●
After disassembly, place the cap on the
clamping bush’s orifice. This way you will
prevent dirt from entering the clamping bush.
Note
●
Befor
e disassembling the ball-headed bar,
we recommend placing the cover on the ball
head.

Cle
an the ball-headed bar thoroughly be-
fore returning it to the on-board toolbox.
Use and maintenance
Cover the clamping bush with the cap to pre-
vent dir
t 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. B
e careful not to remove this lu-
brication.
