Advice
- If the towing arm is not in the stand-by position, it is not possible to clamp
it into the clamping bush of the beam of the towing coupling.
- At fastening the towing arm have your hands outside the pathway of the
clamping lever. Your fingers could be injured at the backward movement
of the lever into the clamping position!
- In case the towing arm is not correctly fixed in the clamping bush (i.e. the
control lever is not in the clamping position, so that the locking peg is not
completely out, or the lock cannot be locked), do not try to pull the control
lever to its clamping position by force! Take the towing arm out, check the
cleanness of the wedge-shaped surfaces (both of the towing arm and of the
clamping bush) and then re-clamp the towing arm in the clamping bush.
- After fitting the towing arm, lock the lock always and take the key out. The
towing arm may not be operated with the key in the lock.
- In the stand-by position , it is not possible to take the key out of the lock of
the control lever, because of safety reasons.
- If you happen to lose the key, please contact the nearest service centre or
the manufacturer directly.
