The illumination is activated by strong tapping on the
bubble. The bubble will light up to 45 seconds.

Push the safety pin of the V-plate lock to the front and
swing it into horizontal position. Pull the V-plate locking
lever out. The V-plate is now released and can be remo-
ved by pulling it backwards.
