Operation Manual

Swivelling the Tow Ball Out
WARNING
You will hear a warning tone when
the tow ball arm is not in one of the
locked positions. If you do not hear
the tone when moving the tow ball arm,
do not use the tow bar and have it checked
by a properly trained technician.
1. Insert the key into the handwheel and
turn it clockwise to unlock.
2. Pull the handwheel out and turn it
counterclockwise to the stop. The tow
ball arm automatically swivels into the
midway position.
3. Release the handwheel. The tow ball
arm is not locked. This is indicated by
the warning tone and the handwheel
projects about five millimeters (0.2
inch) from its housing.
4. Manually turn the tow ball arm steadily
from its midway position to the stop in
the operating position. The tow ball
arm automatically locks in the end
position. The locking process is clearly
audible if the level of background noise
is not too high. When the locking
process is completed, the warning tone
stops and the handwheel will return to
its original position.
5. Turn the key counterclockwise and
remove it.
