4.5.3 Steel cables replacement
IMPORTANT!
The steel cables must be replaced only in the presence of trained and competent personnel
WARNING!
This activity is one of the most important for the proper working of the covering.
The better the alignment, the easier the handling of the tarpaulin, in case of manually-operated version,
and the lesser the motor effort in case of electrical-operated version.
When replacing the cables, it is important to remember that they are the main element that permits the correct action of the
tipper body covering.
WARNING!
During installation of the metal cable, it is strictly mandatory to wear gloves in order to prevent hand
injuring caused by the possible fraying of the metal mesh.
Removing the cable and installing the new one:
Loosen the rear tensioner plate (A) on the side that the
cable has to be replaced:
1. Loosen the central screw which fastens the pulley (

2. Unscrew the screw which regulates the slide of the
pulley carrier (

3. Loosen completely the clamps (

4.
Pull the cable out from the bow supports’ bushing.
5. Shift the pulley towards the front part.
6. Remove the cover from the front driving left gear
housing.
7. Position the first pulling bow exactly perpendicular to
the side edges of the tipper body.
Note:
Pay very careful attention when fastening the pulling bow because if it is not done correctly it could compromise the
functioning of the covering.
