12.2.3.2 Option rb/rm/rs
Parking a machine with a height-adjustable chassis and automatic jockey wheel
In a parked machine which is separated from the towing vehicle, the machine's bearing load affects
the automatic jockey wheel.
For this reason, the jockey wheel of a separated machine must be wound down until the cam

no
longer touches the bead
1
. The automatic folding of the wheel suspension is thus blocked (see
figure 82/A).
When the jockey wheel of a separated machine is wound up further, the bead pushes against the
cam of the retaining pin (see figure 82/B). The retaining pin
3
unlocks the wheel suspension
4
which will abruptly fold (see figure 82/C).
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.
➤ 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.
