Towbar, hitch, base unit

Installation of the base unit

Tightening the base unit to the towbar hitch

• Install the bolt, as illustrated. The sprung washer (1) must be positioned between the towbar hitch and the flat washer.
• Use a fixed wrench when tightening. Tighten securely.

Tilting the base unit

• Press catch (A) down to tilt the base unit.
• Lower the base unit (B) until the stop catch engages.

Tilting the base unit back

• Lift up the stop catch (A) and fold back the base unit (B).

• Fold the base unit back until two clicks are heard and the catch pops up.

Locking the base unit

• The base unit can be equipped with a lock which is supplied with the kits for the different load units that can be combined with the base unit. To install the locking cylinder in the lock housing, see the relevant load unit instructions.

Примечание: On certain car models it may be necessary to saw/cut a piece out of the bumper casing to obtain room for the lock.

Safety checks before a journey

Осторожно: Make sure that all screws, nuts and tensioning straps are firmly tightened before setting off. Check them at regular intervals.

Damaged tensioning straps must be replaced with new ones.

The base unit must not be used as an attachment point for towing.

The base unit must not be used when driving over terrain.

Примечание: If the car's license plate is obscured by the base unit there is an extra license plate holder with lighting that is available as an accessory. This should then be used.

Осторожно: Do not allow the load to shift outside of the base unit.

Do not load more onto the base unit than what is specified on the original towbar's type plate (MAX TONGUE WEIGHT).

Remember that the car's center of gravity, and consequently its driving characteristics, can be changed by the load.

The base unit and associated loading systems must not be used for carrying animals or people.
