Setup and Identification
Before using your new replacement keys, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your existing Westfalia detachable towbar. Each key is specifically coded to match a particular lock cylinder number.
- Identify Key Number: Confirm that the replacement keys have the number '51' embossed on their red plastic head. This number identifies the key's specific cut.
- Identify Lock Cylinder Number: Locate the lock cylinder on your Westfalia detachable towbar. The cylinder number '33351' should be engraved on the metal surface of the lock. This number must match for the key to function correctly.

Operating Instructions
These replacement keys are used to unlock and lock the mechanism of your Westfalia detachable towbar, allowing for its attachment or detachment.
- Insert Key: Gently insert the replacement key into the lock cylinder of the towbar.
- Unlock Mechanism: Turn the key to the 'unlocked' position. This will release the internal locking mechanism of the towbar.
- Attach/Detach Towbar: Follow the specific instructions provided in your original Westfalia towbar manual for the procedure to attach or detach the ball bar. The key only facilitates the locking/unlocking action.
- Lock Mechanism: Once the towbar is securely attached or detached, turn the key to the 'locked' position.
- Remove Key: Safety Note: The key must be removed from the lock cylinder once the towbar is securely mounted and in operation. Do not drive with the key inserted, as this can lead to damage or loss.

Maintenance
Your Westfalia replacement keys require minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.
- Cleaning: Keep the keys clean and free from dirt, dust, or debris. A soft, dry cloth can be used for cleaning.
- Storage: Store the keys in a safe, dry place away from extreme temperatures and corrosive substances to prevent damage or loss.
- Lubrication: If the lock mechanism of your towbar becomes stiff or difficult to operate, a small amount of graphite-based lubricant can be applied to the key or directly into the lock cylinder. Refer to your towbar's original manual for specific lubrication recommendations.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your replacement keys or towbar lock, consider the following:
- Key does not turn in lock:
- Ensure you are using the correct key (number 51) for your towbar's lock cylinder (number 33351).
- Check for any visible obstructions or foreign objects inside the lock cylinder.
- Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the key or into the lock cylinder if the mechanism feels stiff.
- Towbar cannot be attached or detached:
- Verify that the key is fully inserted and turned to the correct 'unlocked' position.
- Consult your Westfalia towbar's original instruction manual for detailed attachment and detachment procedures, as the key only controls the lock.
- All keys lost:
- If all your keys are lost, you will need to order a new set of replacement keys. Ensure you provide the correct key number (51) and the lock cylinder number (33351) to ensure compatibility.
