Operating instructions for detachable ball rod
Important:
Each time before towing a
trailer, check that the ball rod is
properly locked (see A. 3 be-
low)!
Do not release unless the trailer
is hitched up!
When driver without a trailer,
the ball rod must be taken off
and the plug ALWAYS inserted
in the mounting tube!
A. INSTALLATION
1. Remove the plug from the
mounting tube.
When the ball rod is taken out of
the boot it is normally in the
"pretensioned state". You can
recognise this from the fact that
the release lever (see sketch) is
resting against the ball rod.
There is a gap of about 6 mm
between handwheel and ball rod
(see sketch) and the "red"
marking of the handwheel is in
the "green" area of the ball rod.
Please note that the ball rod
can be inserted only in this
state!
Should, for whatever reason, the
locking mechanism of the ball
rod have been released before
installation - you can recognise
this from the fact that there is a
gap of about 5 mm between
release lever and ball rod (see
sketch), the "green" marking of
the handwheel is aligned with
the "green" area of the ball rod
and the handwheel (see sketch)
is resting against the ball rod -
the release mechanism has to
be pretensioned as follows:
Manual Ref.nr.: AIM 002 718 - 2
46
Insert the key, open the lock
and then pull out the handwheel
to the side and turn it in the
direction of the arrow as far as
the stop. The release lever will
then engage and, after the
handwheel is released, the
locking mechanism remains in
the pretensioned position.
2. To install the ball rod, insert it
into the mounting tube from
below and push it up.
The locking operation is
performed automatically in
this case.
Do not hold your hands in the
area of the handwheel.
Close the lock and withdraw
the key.
Press the cap onto the lock.
3. For safety reasons:
Always check whether the ball
rod is properly locked and
secured. You can recognise this
from the following characteris-
tics:
"Green" marking of the
handwheel is aligned with the
"green" area of the ball rod.
Handwheel is resting against
ball rod (no gap).
Lock closed and key with-
drawn (handwheel cannot be
pulled out).
Ball rod must be fully inserted
in the mounting tube and be
tight (check by shaking).
If the check of all 4 characteris-
tics is not satisfactory, the
installation procedure should be
repeated.
Even if only one of the character-
istics is not met, the towing
device must not be used.
In this case, contact the manu-
facturer.
B. REMOVAL
1. Pull the cap off the lock and
press cap onto the handle of the
key.
Open lock with the key (key
cannot be withdrawn when lock
is open!)
2.
Hold ball rod tight, pull out
handwheel at the side and turn
it against the force of the
spring in the direction of the
arrow as far as the stop.
Remove ball rod downward out
of the mounting tube.
The handwheel can then be
released; it then automatically
engages in the tensioned
position.
Please also pay attention to
the symbols on the handwheel
and on the enclosed sketch
"Detachable ball rod".
3. Stow the ball rod in the boot in a
safe place and protected against
dirt.
As already mentioned, the key
cannot be withdrawn in the
tensioned position.
Insert plug into the mounting
tube!
C. IMPORTANT POINTS TO
NOTE!
The ball rod can be easily
installed and removed with the
normal force of your hands.
Please never use any sort of
aids or tools etc. as this might
result in damage to the mecha-
nism.
