Operation
Commissioning the E frames
Coupling together
CAUTION
Components can be damaged if coupled together
incorrectly!
The E frames, which cannot be lowered, may only
be driven as an articulated steering system.
The articulated frame steering rig must contain an
even number of frames (two or four trailers).
For E frames, the articulated steering system must
consist of two frames of the same type (angular
frame-angular frame or tubular frame-tubular
frame).
At the maximum permitted steering angle, the tillers
must not make contact with either the frames or the
hydraulic components.
Loading
CAUTION
Components can be damaged by incorrect loading!
The E frames must not be loaded or unloaded on
gradients.
Make sure that the trolleys are correctly inserted
in the E frames. The securing bolts must be fully
visible.
We recommend attaching four E frames to the tow
tractor. If the maximum possible number of five E
frames is used, the total load of 4 t across the whole
train must not be exceeded.
Checking the securing bolts for
correct function
WARNING
Damage or other defects to the tow tractor or the
attached frames can result in accidents.
– If damage or other defects are identified on the
frames during the following inspections, do not
use these frames until they have been repaired
properly.
– Do not remove or deactivate safety systems or
switches.
