Diagram Descriptions
Fig:1 - Fixed Flange & Detachable Swan: This diagram illustrates the connection point for the towbar's swan neck. It shows the towbar bracket (part of A) with holes for attaching the swan neck (C) and socket plate (D). The diagram indicates the use of bolts (F) and spacer plates (E) for this connection, suggesting a specific orientation for the detachable swan neck. The text "Fixed Flange & Detachable Swan" labels this configuration.
Fig:2 - Fixed Swan Only: This diagram shows an alternative mounting for the swan neck, labeled "Fixed Swan Only". It highlights the socket plate (D) and indicates "Use This Setting For Socket Plate". This suggests a different configuration or a simplified setup where the swan neck is permanently fixed, and the socket plate is mounted in a specific way.
The overall diagram shows the main towbar crossbar (A) connecting to the vehicle chassis via side arms (B). Various bolts (G, H, J) and washers (J) are used for these connections. The swan neck (C) attaches to the crossbar, and the electrical socket plate (D) is also mounted, likely to the crossbar or a bracket. The diagrams detail specific mounting points and hardware for these components.
Notes
