5 Towing
Follow all regulations and apply all safety measures applicable for towing heavy con-
struction machines.
The towing vehicle must be capable of securing the paver, even on slopes.
Use only approved tow bars!
If necessary, remove any attachments and accessories from the paver and the
screed until the basic width has been attained.
A hand pump is located in the engine compartment (left) that must be activated to be
able to tow the machine.
Pressure for releasing the track drive system brakes is built up with the hand pump.
Do not release the track drive system brakes until the machine is sufficiently secured
against accidental rolling or is already properly connected to the towing vehicle.
- Attach the towing device to the tie-
down points located in the bumper un-
der the hopper.
- Push down and turn the Pump Pres-
sure Lock and Release Handle (2) to
the DOWN position.
- Pump the Handle (3) of the hand pump
up and down until sufficient pressure
has been built up for the track drive sys-
tem brakes to release.
Now carefully and slowly tow the paver out of the construction area. The maximum
towing speed is 2 mph (3.2 kph).
Always tow the machine the shortest distance to the means of transport or the next
parking opportunity.
After towing, return the Pump Pressure Lock and Release Handle (2) to the UP posi-
tion. This will release pressure in the Hand Pump and will allow the braking system
to engage.
The track drive system brakes are now reactivated and the machine is secured
against rolling.
