be injured at the backward movement of the lever into
the clamping position!

ping bush (i.e. the control lever is not in the clamping
position, so that the locking peg is not completely out,

trol lever to its clamping position by force! Take the
towing arm out, check the cleanness of the wedge-sha-
ped surfaces (both of the towing arm and of the clam-
ping bush) and then re-clamp the towing arm in the
clamping bush.

take the key out. The towing arm may not be operated
with the key in the lock.

key out of the lock of the control lever, because of safety
