3.4 Installation of steel cables
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.
Before proceeding with the steel cable installation, it is necessary to verify the alignment between the upper driving pulley of
the gear housing and the socket through which the steel cable runs.
PAY ATTENTION!
This activity is one of the most important for the proper working 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.
Loosen the rear tensioning plates:
•
Loose the centrally arranged screw that fixes in place the guide pulley
(

•
Undo the screw adjusting the running of the guide pulley slide (

•
Shift the pulley towards the front part.
3.4.1 Positioning of the covering tarpaulin
The covering is supplied completely assembled with bows, feet and sliding pads.
•
Remove the covering from its packing and put it on the front of the body (cab protection), properly arranging the cover’s
front and back ends.
•
Pull out the iron rod fro
m the feet bushings on the driver’s side (where the first of the two wire ropes will be placed).
3.4.2 Running of the left steel cable
The explanation begins with instructions for positioning the steel cable placed on the left side (in relation to the driving
direction) in correspondence to the driver side.
Note:
The position of the cable is the same, both for the hand operated and motorised versions. If the covering is provided
with the automatic steel cable release,
follow the procedure described in paragraph 4.2
Scrupulously follow the instructions below for positioning the steel cable.
