• grease the contact surfaces at the point of coupling
• inspect the fixing bolts of the traction coupling ball on a firm seating
• renew damaged, malformed or worn traction coupling balls
- Only allow exchanges to be carried out by specialists!
Traction coupling ball
Tip
• The traction-coupling ball may only be connected with coupling ball type 80, as produced by Scharmüller GmbH or
other approved coupling balls (80mm ball diameter).
Attention!
Repairs to the
traction-coupling
ball are not
permitted.
Mounting the DST 2000 type forked drawbar
The vertically adjustable DST 2000 type forked pivoting drawbar is used for LoF-trailers (LoF=agricultural- or forest-
economical devices) with a laden weight of 22000 kg.
- The permissible supporting load is 2000 kg
- The permissible Dc-value (drawbar longitudinal force) is 87.5 kN
- Maximum speed: LoF unlimited (80 km/h)
The tightening torque of the fastening bolts of the trailer coupling rings:
- M16x1.5 10.9
250Nm
- M20x1.5 10.9
460Nm
The fastening bolts must be checked at regular intervals and be retightened where necessary.
Only short distances on even stretches in a tipping situation (to unload) are permitted. Tipping slightly (during travel)
is permitted without reservation.
When travelling in a angled situation, take particular care that the upward angular movements of the towing rings/
traction coupling ball are limited.
Note!
Fabrication
and assembly
take place
predominantly in
the factory. With
self-assembly it
is necessary to
consult with the
manufacturer.
