CAUTION
- The housing should be kept dirt
and corrosion-free at the points
of contact. The surfaces only
require cleaning with a cloth.
Grease or other lubricants
should never be used.
- If the ball is not installed, the
plastic insert should then be
inserted for protection and to
prevent it from getting dirty.
When the ball is not used, place the ball
cap and store securely.

Do not directly connect your

would cause the vehicle’s brake
performance to deteriorate and
could lead to an accident...
