Important Safety Information and Usage Guidelines

General Precautions:

• Always refer to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions, vehicle manual, and WVTA documentation regarding maximum towing weight and vertical ball load.
• Consult your vehicle manufacturer or local dealer for specific towing weight limits for your vehicle. Do not exceed these limits or the towbar's specifications.
• Always secure the secondary coupling (safety chain) to the designated factory mounting points before towing. This ensures the trailer stops automatically if the towing ball detaches.
• Overloading the towbar can lead to the detachment of the towed equipment (trailer, caravan, bicycle carrier), potentially causing severe or fatal injuries to occupants or bystanders.
• ACPS Automotive is not responsible for product defects caused by improper use, misuse, or overloading by the user or any responsible party.
• Adhere strictly to the specified factory mounting points. Do not deviate from them.
• Observe national guidelines for the official approval of accessories.
• All ORIS products are weight-checked before dispatch. Keep the weight control sticker for warranty claims.
• Warranty is valid only for new towbars and accessories. The use of second-hand or used towbars is strictly prohibited and dangerous.
