If the hand wheel

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 ball head then needs to be
brought into this position before the next time it is fitted » page 122, Adjusting
the ready position.

The mounting recess must be closed with the cover following removal. This
prevents foreign bodies from getting into the mounting recess.
