12.2.3 Parking the machine
The machine is generally only moved by being coupled to a towing vehicle.
The parking brake is not a running brake and is used only to lock the wheels when the machine is
positioned.
The towing mechanism of the machine is fitted with an "automatic jockey wheel".
In a parked machine which is separated from the towing vehicle, the machine's bearing load
affects the jockey wheel.
For this reason, the jockey wheel of a separated machine must be wound down until the
cam
2
no longer touches the bead
1
. The automatic folding of the wheel suspension is
thus blocked (see Ill. 94, figure a).
When the jockey wheel of a separated machine is wound up further, the bead pushes
against the cam of the retaining pin (see Ill. 94, figure b). The retaining pin
3
unlocks the
wheel suspension
4
which will abruptly fold (see Ill. 94, figure c), and drop the towing mech‐
anism to the ground.
A folding wheel suspension during winding up causes the towing device to suddenly crash
onto the ground,
potentially causing severe injuries to legs and/or feet.
➤ The operator must ensure that only authorised personnel has access to the machine.
➤ Wind the automatic jockey wheel only up when the machine is coupled to a towing vehi‐
cle.
➤ Wind the automatic jockey wheel up only as far as the bead does not touch the cam.
➤ Do not place your feet beneath the towing device.
