Information
- The swivel action of the ball hitch is interrupted in the one-touch function of the rocker switch if resistance interferes with the movement sequence. The interruption is indicated by the rapid flashing of the red LED in the rocker switch.
- Overload protection is switched off by pressing the rocker switch for at least two seconds.
WARNING:
Risk of injury and damage when retracting and extending the ball hitch.
- Make sure that no persons, animals or obstacles are in the movement range of the ball hitch.
- To interrupt the swivel action of the ball hitch in the event of danger, touch the rocker switch again.
→ Never swivel the ball hitch when a trailer is coupled or when bicycle racks, for example, are mounted or supported on the ball hitch.
→ Only use the trailer hitch when the ball hitch is extended fully.
→ Never insert tools of any kind into the ball hitch swivel mechanism. This could damage the locking mechanism; safe operation of the trailer hitch can then no longer be guaranteed.
→ Check that the ball hitch locks into position correctly before every journey.
