Please note that the tow bar can be
installed only when in these conditions.
If the locking mechanism of the tow
bar is disengaged before the
installation, or at any other time, and is
in the locked position, it must be
pre-loaded. The locked position can be
identified by the green mark of the
flywheel coinciding with the green mark
of the tow bar and by the flywheel in
the stop position on the tow bar,
namely without slot (see figure).
The locking mechanism is pre-loaded
as follows: with the key inserted and
the lock open, extract the flywheel
following the direction of the arrow and,
to pre-load, rotate according to the
direction of the arrow b until the stop.
The release lever is engaged and the
locking mechanism remains in the
pre-loading position even when the
flywheel is released. The tow bar must
be inserted in the housing pipe with the
coupling pin for the installation. Insert
from the bottom and push upwards.
The mechanism then locks
automatically. Keep your hands far from
the flywheel, as it rotates during the
locking procedure.2. The tow bar must be inserted in the
housing pipe with the coupling pin

direction of the arrow b until stopping,
so as to remove till the extracted
position. Then remove the tow bar from
the housing pipe. The flywheel can
then be released; it autonomously
stops in the released position.
3. Arrange the tow bar in the luggage
compartment so that it cannot be
dirtied or damaged by other
transported objects.
4. Insert the suitable plug in the
mounting pipe.
WARNING
40)The removable ball head bar must be
repaired and taken apart by the
manufacturer only.
41)The accompanying plate must be in a
highly visible point of the vehicle, near
the mounting pipe or inside the luggage
compartment.
42)To ensure correct operation of the
system, periodically remove all dirt deposits
from the ball head bar and from the
mounting pipe. The mechanical
components must be serviced at the
specified intervals. The lock must only be
treated with graphite.
43)Periodically lubricate the joints, the
sliding surfaces and the balls with grease
without resin or oil. Lubrication is also a
further corrosion protection.
44)If the vehicle is washed with high-
pressure jets, the ball head bar must be
removed and the dedicated cap fitted. The
ball head bar must never be treated with
steam jets.
45)Two keys are supplied together with
the removable ball tow bar. Note down the
