Important Advice - Skoda EEA 700 001 Manual De Instrucciones

- Pay attention to the cavity of the clamping bush of the
towing coupling, protecting it by the plastic cover in
case of a removal of the towing arm. Clean and treat the
wedge-shaped surfaces of the clamping bush as needed
by a suitable preserving agent (e.g. WD 40).
- Warning! The upper part of the clamping bush cavity
GB
is treated with the AUTOL TOP 2000 lubricating grease,
therefore take care that this grease is not removed. The
clamping mechanism of the towing arm must be kept
clean.
- From time to time, lubricate the ball journal of the towing
arm with a suitable lubricating grease.
- Meanwhile you are not using the towing arm, remove it and
put it to its place in the luggage compartment.
- When storing the towing arm, always use the protecting
cover of the ball journal, in order to avoid soiling of the
luggage boot.

Important advice

- After having driven about the first 500 km with the trai-
ler, it is necessary to check the tightening of the screws
clamping the beam to the chassis of the vehicle, and if
necessary, to tighten them with the prescribed torque
70 Nm! We recommend you to have it checked in the
nearest service centre of Škoda Auto.
- Any changes or alterations of the towing coupling are
not admissible.
- Before every drive with the towing arm fitted, check the
proper fitting of the towing arm and its locking to the
clamping bush of the beam of the towing coupling.
- The towing coupling must not be operated if the towing
arm cannot be locked, or it is possible to turn the con-
trol lever freely in the locked position.
- The towing coupling must not be operated if it is dama-
ged or not complete.
- Never unlock the towing arm with a linked trailer.
- After linking the trailer and interconnecting the electric
circuits, check the function of the lights of the trailer.
- In case of a long-time operation with the towing arm
fitted, in order to provide for the proper functioning of
the clamping mechanism it is necessary to clean it as
needed, and to apply a suitable preservation agent (e.g.
WD 40 or a similar preserving agent) and to turn the
lock of the control lever several times.
