INITIAL INSTALLATION
- Remove existing wheel bolt and store securely. [Fig. 1]
- Tighten the adapter wheel bolt (4a: Taper fit / 4b: Ball fit)* using the socket wrench (6). [Fig. 2] Maximum value for tightening torque: 110 Nm
-
Observe the specifications of the rim / trailer manufacturer.
** Comparison with original wheel bolt-
Manually screw adjustment bolt (2) onto adapter wheel bolt. [Fig. 3]
-
Place receiver (1) on the adjustment bolt. [Fig. 4]
-
Measure distance between receiver and rim and record value X. [Fig. 5]
-
Loosen locking screw with Allen key (5). Adjust adjustment bolt (2) with Allen key (10) by turning by the noted value X. Secure the adjustment with locking screw. [Fig. 6] NOTICE! Adjustment bolts must not exceed 80 mm !
-
Measure the distance again. [Fig. 7] – If the value is less than 1 mm, the distance has been adjusted correctly.
– If value is greater than 1 mm, adjust the adjustment bolt (2) again. -
Attach „Remove before Drive“ warning notice (9) to the handle of the towbar or to the handbrake lever of the trailer/caravan. [Fig. 8]
-
MOUNTING / OPERATION
- Manually screw adjustment bolt (2) onto adapter wheel bolt. [Fig. 9]
- Insert locking rod (3) into receiver (1) and approximately adjust the locking rod position. [Fig. 10]
