Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked by
verifying the following points:
- the green mark on the locking wheel is in line with the green mark on the towball,
- the locking wheel is in contact with the towball,- the security lock is locked and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by trying to shake it with your hand.
During use
Never release the locking system with
a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight – GV W), the trailer, or the sum of
the two (the Gross Train Weight – GTW).
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on
a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in
the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.
