3.4 Installation of the steel cable
The covering systems of Marcolin Covering s.r.l. are supplied already preassembled. Therefore, after having placed the
covering on the tipper body, it is only necessary to pull out one by one the iron rods that keeps together the bows and to pu ll
the steel cable through the holes of the bow supports.
The main component that makes possible the proper covering functioning is the steel cable.
CAUTION!
During the installing activities of the steel cable the use of suitable protective gloves is mandatory in
order to avoid any injury to hands due to a possible fraying of the steel cable mesh.
PAY ATTENTION!
This activity is one of the most important for the proper workings of the tarpaulin.
The better the alignment, the easier the handling of the tarpaulin, in case of hand-operated version, and
the lesser the motor effort in case of electrically-operated version.
Before proceeding with the steel cable installation, it is necessary to carry out some operations.
Positioning of the covering:
•
Remove any packing;
•
Ensure the correct orientation of the tarpaulin (front
– rear).
•
Position the first pulling bow exactly perpendicular to the edges of the tipper body.
Note:
Pay close attention while fixing the pulling bow, because a misalignment could compromise the covering workings.
