Handling intructions

Remember:
–
Manually (without applying any aids) carry out the releasing or engaging actions on the
latch lever (4).
–
When nothing is drawn, the drawing ball (1) shall be removed from the house (3),
because it reduces the visibility of the car registration plate.
–
In order to maintain a trouble-free operation of the moving component parts of the
house (3) during the whole period of guarantee, when nothing is drawn for a while, after
removing the drawing ball, put the end cap (wich can also be used as cover piece of the
drawing ball) onto the open end of the house (3).
–
Always apply grease onto the drawing ball (1) to achieve a better abrasion resistance
(type LZS-2 or equivalent is recommended).
–
The drawing ball and the latch lever should always be taken with yourself (for instance,
in the luggage trunk), even when they are in dismounted state. The carrying case
supplied should be used for this purpose.
Dismounting the drawing ball:
–
Pull down the guard pin (5) from the end of the latch lever (4).
–
Pull aside the latch lever (4) to the right to the maximum possible extent, then turn it
applying an angle of 90° . In this case, it will not bump into the washer (2) when it is
loosened. Finally, let it go back to its original position.
–
Loosen the latch lever (4) and rotate until it can easily be pulled out of the house (3).
–
Take the drawing ball (1) out of the house (3).

Push the drawing ball (1) completely into the house (3) in upside-up position, until
catch.
