OVERING

YSTEM
The covering system is subject to stress and wear, as well as it is exposed to weather agents. For these reasons, the
system components can suffer wear and tear and their replacement can become necessary. Hereinafter the description of
the operations for the necessary replacements of the main components of the covering system.
5.1 Bow replacement
For replacing a bow proceed as follows:
WARNING!
In case of electrically operated covering system, before every maintenance work, take care to activate
the safety shutdown with the key.
As soon as the maintenance or repairing work has been performed remember to remove the key.
•
Find out the bow that needs to be replaced;
•
Remove the rivets positioned on the tarpaulin upper side that fasten the tarp to the bow
support;
WARNING!
For carrying out certain maintenance work the access to the internal space of the tipper body
is required. Make sure that the internal space is empty and clean to avoid any sliding and
falling. Wear suitable protective clothing.
DO NOT WALK ON THE TARPAULIN!
The manufacturer denies any liability.
•
Inside the tipper body remove the cable plastic ties which fasten the tarpaulin to
the bow support.
•
Undo the self-tapping screws which fasten the bow to its support;
•
Carry out the described operation on both sides;
•
Pull out both supports and remove the bow.
At this point the damaged bow has been removed and the new one can be assembled.
•
Insert both supports in the respective end parts of the bow, taking care that the
passage axis of the cables is the same of the others;
•
Fasten the supports using the suitable self-tapping screws;
•
Inside the tipper body, fasten the tarpaulin to the bow by using common cable
ties (in case of fire-resisting PVC-tarpaulin or silicon apply fire-resisting cable
ties);
CAUTION!
For fire-resisting PVC tarpaulins the application of standard cable ties is not permitted. Demand the
proper cable ties for fire-resisting tarpaulins from the manufacturer.
The manufacturer denies any liability.
