Operation and Maintenance
The towing gear requires minimum maintenance. The ball journal of the towing
arm shall be lubricated from time to time with a suitable grease and its cap shall
be used.
After driving the first approximately 1,000 kilometres with the trailer, it is
necessary to check tightness of the screws (M10 x 35, Figure 4, Position K)
holding the consoles of the beam to the vehicle chassis and, if need be,
tighten them with the specified torque. Tightness of the screws (M12 x 65,
Figure 10, Positions A, B, C) holding the towing arm to the beam shall be
always checked after driving approximately 1,000 km.
When driving without a connected trailer, swing down the holder of the socket
to the bumper.
