clockwise until the red marking on the
locking cylinder aligns with the white dot.
At this point, the locking cylinder is locked
in the "open" and the hitch drops out of
the housing.

locking cylinder. If it does not lock
into the “Open Position”, it
automatically retracts into its original
“closed" position and can pinch your fingers.
