FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

General: It is very important that the points of contact between the tow
bar and the vehicle are cleaned of any glue residue. After warming the
spots with a hair dryer, or applying a paint stripper, the glue can easily
be removed with a putty knife. While fitting the tow bar assembly, tigh-
ten all connectors only finger-tight. Only after assembly is completed
should you tighten all nuts and bolts to the torque indicated in the manu-
al.
1. Remove the cover plate. Remove, if applicable, the four plastic blanks
or pieces of tape at the back panel (cross chassis) underneath the vehi-
cle. At these new holes (D), place the four cage nuts in the back panel
(cross chassis). Position the fixing brackets A and B, along with spacer
strips C, against the back panel (cross chassis) and fasten them finger-
tight at points D using four M8x30 bolts including spring washers and flat
washers. Position fixing brackets E and F and fasten them finger-tight at
points G (as indicated in the drawing) using two M10x110 bolts, inclu-
ding spacers (ø17.2x2.9 L=71.5mm), back plates, flat washers, and
spring washers.
2. At points H, attach two M10x45 bolts finger-tight including spacer plates
K, spring washers, flat washers and nuts. Position the cross member
and fasten it as indicated in the drawing at points I using four M12x45
bolts including flat washers, and spring washers and nuts. Place the ball
hitch between the ball plates and attach it using two M12x70/26.2 bolts
including socket plate, flat washers, and self-locking nuts.
3. After aligning the tow bar, tighten all nuts and bolts to the torque indica

ted in the table. Before tightening the fastening materials to the torque
indicated in the table, you must make sure that the tow bar is flush with
the chassis. First tighten the fasteners at points D to the torque indica-
ted in the table. Tighten the remaining fasteners to the torque indicated
in the table. Reattach the cover plate.
NOTE:
* The dealer should be consulted for possible necessary adjustment(s)
"of the vehicle".
* Remove the insulating material from the contact area of the fitting
points.
* All bolts are quality 8.8 - nuts 8. or when mentioned in fitting instructions
10.9 / 10.
* Don't forget the spring- and plain washers.
* Consult your dealer for the maximum tolerated pull weight and ball
hitch pressure of your vehicle.
* It is recommendable to retighten all fixing bolts and nuts after the towbar
has been in use for some 1000 km/600 miles.
* Do not drill through brake-or fuellines.
* Remove (if present) the plastic caps from the spot welding nuts.
Torque settings for nuts and bolts (8.8):
