Undercarriage (axle, towbar, towing
eyes)
The undercarriage is equipped with an adjustable
towbar with brakes, with DIN-eye, BNA-eye, NATO-
eye, GB-eye, ITA-eye or ball coupling and with road
signalisation which is approved by EC legislation.
When using this option
– Make sure that the towing equipment of the
vehicle matches the towing eye before towing the
generator.
– Never move the generator while electrical cables
are connected to the unit.

maintenance (at least 1 meter at each side).
To maintain the undercarriage
– Check the tightness of the towbar bolts, the axle
bolts and the wheel nuts at least twice a year and
after the initial 50 hours of operation.
– Grease the wheel axle suspension bearings, the
drawbar to the steering gear shaft and the spindle
of the brake handle at least twice a year. Use ball
bearing grease for the wheel bearings and graphite
grease for the drawbar and spindle.

– Check the condition of the vibration dampers
twice a year.
– Repack the wheel hub bearings once a year using
grease.
