E. The ROAD models can also be
transported by towing them on
public roads.
Turn the light panel back.
Connect the tow coupling to the
ball (50 mm) and ensure that the
connection holds. Loosen the
nose wheel and lock in the raised
position. Then connect the light
plug (seven pins). Check the
functioning of the lights.
Read section 2.3.1 before setting
off.
2.3.1 Safety instructions for transport on public roads (ROAD models)
JAPA 315 ROAD models have been designed and constructed for use on public roads. Therefore, all
ROAD models feature the appropriate equipment for road traffic, such as lights, reflectors and an
underrun guard. The machine also comes with a separate appendix for registration. The retailer can
instruct you on how to complete the registration.
Always check the following before starting your journey:
• Ensure that the tow coupling is attached to the ball and the plug is connected.
• Raise the nose wheel and ensure that it is tightened in such a way that it cannot slip back
down during driving.
• Ensure that all lights are functioning: turning signals, brake and rear lights.
• Check the tyre pressure (3.0 bar).
• Fold the conveyor to the transport position and use the winch to tighten it to the raised
position. Fasten the chain that secures the conveyor in the transport position. Do not
transport anything on top of the machine or in the splitting groove, and clean the machine from
debris. Nothing must detach from the assembly that may endanger other road users.
• Turn the light panel back.
• If you need to transport the machine on salted roads, we recommend that you wash it
immediately after use.
• When the firewood processor is connected to the towing vehicle, a separate warning triangle
must be available for the trailer.
• The maximum allowed total mass of a device that does not feature brakes is 730 kg.
However, the mass may not exceed half of the mass of the towing vehicle. Note! The car
manufacturer may restrict the trailer mass to a lower level. Check the trailer masses of your
car from the registration book or user manual.
• The driver must have a class B driving licence if the total weight of the towing vehicle is no
higher than 3,500 kg and the total weight of the device being towed is no higher than 750 kg
(i.e. the maximum total mass is 4,250 kg), or the total weight of the combination is no higher
than 3,500 kg and the total weight of the device (730 kg) does not exceed the net weight of
the towing vehicle.
• The driver must have a class BE or ABE driving licence if the combination of the vehicle and
trailer/boat trailer exceeds the listed weights.
• Class 01 towable devices (total weight 750 kg or less) do not require periodic inspections
concerning eligibility for road traffic.
• Winter tyres do not need to be used on class 01 towable devices.
• The maximum towing speed of a towable device is 80 km/h (60 mph) unless traffic signs
impose a lower speed limit.
THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE COMBINATION IS ALWAYS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDITION OF
THE VEHICLE, PLACING THE TOWED DEVICE IN THE TRANSPORT POSITION, AND THE LAWFUL
USE OF THE EQUIPMENT!
