TOWBAR WITH QUICKLY
DETACHABLE TOWBALL
Presentation
This towball can be fitted and removed
quickly and easily without the use of tools.
For information on the maximum

1. Carrier.
2. Connector socket.
3. Safety eye.
4. Detachable towball.
5. Locking / unlocking wheel.
6. Key lock.
7. Key reference label.
A. Locked position; the locking wheel is in
contact with towball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position; the locking wheel
and towball are no longer in contact
(gap of about 5 mm).
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly
locked and verify the following points:
- the green mark on the locking wheel
is in line with the green mark on the
towball,
- the locking wheel is in contact with the
towball,
- the key lock is on and the key removed;
the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the towball must no longer move at all in
its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted to the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight - GVW), the trailer, or the sum of the
two (the Gross Train Weight - GTW).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load
carrier, the towball must be removed and
the blanking plug inserted in the carrier. This
measure applies particularly if the towball
could hinder visibility of the number plate or
lighting.
