General Installation Instructions:

A coupling ball with bracket or an automatic coupling may be mounted on the towing bracket. With
both, i.e. the coupling ball with bracket and the automatic coupling, a quick-change coupling system
may be mounted.
Please see the following drawing 1 for the coupling range of the ball centre or of the automatic
coupling point:
The mounting dimensions and clearance dimensions as per Appendix VII, Figure 30 of the
Guideline 94/20/EC must be ensured.
To insure danger-free operation of automatic couplings, sufficient space must be present between
the hand lever and other vehicle parts. The dimensions shown in Drawing 2 are considered
sufficient.
If the towing bracket is also to be used as an underride protection device, the requirements and
mounting dimensions of the Guideline 70/221/EWG / ECE-R 58 must be adhered to.
To adjust to the vehicle width, the cross pipe may be shortened symmetrically to the centre level.
However, a side overhang over the clamps of at least 50 mm should always be ensured.
If the cross pipe is not mounted in its lowest position, the lower overhang of the side parts may
be cut off. Here at least 10 mm over the clamp end should be left.
Other modifications are not permitted.
