7. Use and operation
Read carefully. If there is anything you do not understand, please contact the
manufacturer to exclude the possibility of operating errors.
7.1 Trailer operation
When coupling the push-off trailer, there is a risk of crushing between
the trailer and the towing vehicle.
Before manoeuvring, ensure that there is nobody between the towing
vehicle and the trailer.
Always use a signaller for manoeuvring.
Never walk between the towing vehicle and the trailer while the towing
vehicle is moving.
Before coupling, secure the towing vehicle and trailer to prevent rolling
away, and apply the hand brake or wheel chocks under the wheels.
7.1.1
Before operation
-
Instruct unauthorised persons away from the machine.
-
Carry out a visual inspection of the entire machine and the tools.
-
Check the fill levels of lubricants and auxiliary materials.
-
Unlock all devices used for stopping in an emergency.
-
The hydraulic connections should always be connected to the same ports on
the towing vehicle. The hoses are labelled.
-
The operator is responsible for renewing the labels if they should be lost or
become unreadable. Otherwise, the hydraulic hoses may be connected
incorrectly to the towing vehicle.
7.1.2
Setting up the trailer coupling on the towing vehicle
Move the towing device of the towing vehicle to the correct height.
Attach the trailer coupling (A) to the towing
vehicle so that, when the trailer is attached, there
is sufficient space between the drive shaft (A1)
and the drawbar, especially during tight turns.

the towing vehicle
After coupling, move the hydraulic drawbar fully up and down one or more times to
ensure it does not collide with the drive shaft.
This will avoid any faults or damage when using the ASW.
