5 Towing
Follow all regulations and apply all safety measures applicable for towing heavy construction 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 finisher and the screed until the
basic width has been attained.
A hand pump is located in the engine compartment (left side) that must be activated to be able to tow
the machine.
Pressure for releasing the 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.
- Pull the Handle(A) and turn the handle 90 and
release Handle(A) to the DOWN position.
- Pump the Handle(B) of the hand pump up and
down until sufficient pressure has been built up
for the track drive system 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 position. 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.
