Installation of the tow ball:
1.) Remove the plug from the receiver.
The tow ball is usually in the unlocked position when it is removed from the boot of the vehicle. This is
the case if there is a visible gap of approx. 5 mm between the handwheel and the tow ball (see diagram)
and the red marking on the handwheel is aligned with the green marking on the tow ball.
Please note that the tow ball can only be inserted in this state!
If the locking mechanism of the tow ball has, for some reason, been disengaged before installation, i.e.
the tow ball is in the locked position, the mechanism has to be pre-tensioned. The locked position is
easily identifiable as the green marking on the handwheel is aligned with the green marking on the tow
ball and there is no gap between the handwheel and the tow ball (see diagram).
Follow the instructions below to pre-tension the locking mechanism:
Insert key and open lock, extract the handwheel in the direction of arrow a, and turn it until the limit
stop in the direction of arrow b. The release lever will then engage and, after the handwheel is
released, the locking mechanism remains in the pre-tensioned position.
2.) Install the tow ball together with the stop pin by inserting and pushing both into the receiver.
The locking operation is performed automatically in this case.
Always keep hands away from the handwheel because it rotates during the locking process.
3.) Close the lock and always remove the key. The key cannot be withdrawn if the lock is open! Press the
cover onto the lock.
Removal of the tow ball:
1.) Pull the cover off the lock and press it onto the handle of the key.
Open the lock with the key.
2.) Hold the tow ball, extract the handwheel in the direction of arrow a, and turn it until the limit stop in the
direction of arrow b in order to unlock it in the extracted position.
Remove the tow ball from the receiver.
The handwheel can now be released; it automatically engages in the unlocked position.
3.) Stow the tow ball in a safe place in the boot of the vehicle and protect it against dirt.
4.) Insert the plug into the receiver!
Notes!
Any repairs or dismantling of the detachable tow ball should only be carried out by the manufacturer.
Fix the enclosed information plate to the car close to the receiver or inside the boot where it is clearly visible.
Always keep the tow ball and the receiver clean to ensure proper operation.
Ensure regular servicing of the mechanical parts. Treat lock only with graphite.
Lubricate the bearing points, friction surfaces and balls with resin-free grease or oil. Grease and oil also
function as additional protection against corrosion.
The tow ball has to be removed and the plug inserted when cleaning the car with a steam jet cleaner. The tow
ball must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
Important!
2 keys are issued with the detachable tow ball. Make a note of and keep the key no. ???? in case of repeat
orders.
