4.1
MACHINE TRANSPORT AS ROAD TRAILER
Only machines fitted with frame in road towing version can travel on public roads.
Respect the highway code when towing the machine.
The machine cannot be used for transporting any load, not even the accessories foreseen for machine
operation (piping, fittings, gaskets, etc.).
Obligations before towing the machine
- Check the diesel engine is off.
- Remove all connected piping from machine (e.g.: concrete pipes, additive pipe).
- Close and block the mobile bodywork checking the hooks are properly closed.
- After having lowered the wheel lift the parking feet to support the machine weight (FIG.04).
- Correctly assemble and fix the lighting bar. Connect and check correct operation of the lighting bar cable.
- Introduce the pull cable in the appropriate cable guide eyelet (FIG.06 and FIG.07).
- Remove the wheels' parking wedges and place them in their housing.
- Release the wheels' parking brake.
Safety prescriptions
- Adjust the drawbar's height only using the handle (FIG.05-REF.03).
- Pull the trailer's parking brake during parking or stop.
- Fix the trailer with two wedges after having released it.
Repulsion brake adjustment
- Remove the split pin (FIG.05-REF.01).
- Loosen the handle (FIG.05-REF.02) and turn it until it stops.
- Adjust the coupling element upwards (50°) or downwards (10°) by means of the repulsion brake handle until it stops.
- Fasten and fix the handle hitting it with a mallet (hard rubber mallet). Insert the split pin.
- Fasten the handle again after about 50 km.
Parking
Pull the hand brake: forcely fasten the hand brake beyond the dead centre.
In start
Loosen the hand brake: place the hand brake lever back to initial position. The dead centre is easily detectable.
The side parts of the towing bar may loosen if not used for a prolonged period of time, due to sudden side or
upward movements.
Pay attention and check the cable is sufficiently long for journeys with bends. An excessively extended cable
may accidentally activate the brake. House the cable around the towing hook's stem if without appropriate drive
eyelet, and hook the snap hook on the cable itself (FIG.07). The cable activates the parking brake (emergency
brake) should the trailer accidentally detach from the drive. The cable must be correctly introduced inside the
cable guide ring to guarantee excellent emergency brake operation.
