WARNING
■
Check that the tow bar is seated correctly and is secured in the mounting
recess before the start of every journey.
■
Do not use the ball head, if it is not correctly inserted into the mounting
recess and secured.
■
Do not use the towing equipment if it is damaged or incomplete.
■
Do not modify or adapt the towing device in any way.
■
Never release the tow bar while the trailer is still coupled.
■
Keep the mounting recess of the towing equipment clean at all times.
Such dirt prevents the ball head from being attached securely.
CAUTION
■
Take care with the ball bar - there is a risk of paint damage to the bumper.
■
When the tow bar is removed always place the cover onto the mounting re-
cess - there is a danger of soiling the mounting recess.
