INSTRUCTIONS WITH A VIEW TO ENSURING THAT TRANSPORT, HANDLING
AND STORAGE OPERATIONS CAN BE MADE SAFELY
MACHINE TRANSPORT
Make sure only proper lifting and fastening points are used when loading or transporting the machine.
When loading or transporting the machine, make sure only prescribed lifting and towing devices with minimal allowed force
and speed suitable for the machine mass and transport speed are used.
Before towing of the machine make sure that:
∙
tyres and suspension devices are functional,
∙
machine covers are closed properly,
∙
all other parts of the machine are fastened properly,
∙
brakes and lights are functional and comply with traffic regulations,
∙
safety rope or string are attached,
∙
all undercarriage operation instructions listed below are followed.
COUPLING THE TOW BAR WITH SUSPENSION EYE
1. Set up the tow bar height according to suspension height of the towing vehicle. Secure the nuts against loosening by
spring washes.
2. Connect the tow bar to the suspension equipment with the pin and secure it.
3. Put the electric plug into the socket of the towing vehicle and check the electrical function of the whole set of the towing
vehicle and the compressor.
4. Couple the safety rope to the towing vehicle.
5. Check if the safety bolt of the hand brake is not installed (during the transport the bolt must be disassembled
unconditionally). Secure the suspension wheel (bar) in its upper position or disassemble it.
UNCOUPLING THE TOW BAR WITH SUSPENSION EYE
1. Lower the suspension wheel and secure the compressor against the movement.
2. Uncouple the compressor including the socket.
COUPLING THE TOW BAR WITH ISO 50 SUSPENSION
1. Set up the tow bar according to the suspension height of the towing vehicle. Tighten the nuts and secure them against
loosening by spring washes.
2. Open the spherical coupling (lift the grip and turn aside).
3. The opened spherical coupling allows connection or disconnection of the coupling to the spherical pin of the towing
vehicle. This position will be secured and the indicator will stay on "x" mark (see Fig. 1).
4. Couple the spherical coupling with the suspension of the towing vehicle by pushing on the grip. The spherical coupling
is secured at the closed position.
5. When the connection is right, the indicator is on "+" mark (Fig.2).
6. If the pointer is in the range of "-" mark, the coupling was not put on the spherical pin correctly or the suspension has
been worn-out excessively.
7. Couple the safety rope to the towing vehicle.
8. Put the electric plug into the socket of the towing vehicle and check the electrical function of the whole set of the towing
vehicle and the compressor.
