2. WARNING (continued)
2.2. TRANSPORT (continued)
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake, which is supported by a gas spring suspension, serves for safe parking of the machine. The
handbrake adjusts automatically when the frame is moved backwards.
Operation of the version with gas spring suspension: pull the handbrake for parking to a standstill. To
release the brake, the lever must be returned to the zero position through the neutral gear.
HOLDING DEVICE
If the towing vehicle brakes or goes downhill, the drawbar is pulled in, depending on the level of drawbar
force, so that the brake responds.
Also when reverse gear is engaged, the brake responds at rst. As the brake drum moves backwards, the
brake effect is practically eliminated. When adjusting the locking device, make sure that it is parallel to the
main drawbar. If not, the brakes will not work.
TOWING DRAWBAR
The towing drawbar is equipped with an adjustment aid. This enables easy and convenient height adjustment
for the transport coupling.
• When adjusting the height, make sure that the holding device is parallel to the drawbar. Check that the
toothed heads are correctly connected to each other, that the locking lever is correctly tightened and that
the safety catch is correctly inserted. If this is not the case, it is not guaranteed that the brakes will work.
• If a headstock is tted, check that the headstock is correctly attached to the ball of the towing vehicle.
• Only change the height on level ground.
• Secure the machine against rolling with the brake chock, then release the handbrake.
If a certain height is maintained for a longer period of time, rust may appear on the gear connection
and cause damage to the gear connections, which is why regular cleaning of the gear connections is
recommended.
The maintenance of these elements should be carried out regularly and the condition of the gearheads
as well as the threads, bolts and xing handles should be checked. If excessive wear is detected, the
corresponding part must be replaced.
Before each journey, check the safety of the tow bar.
The safety hitch is absolutely necessary. It must be replaced in the event of loss or wear.
Check the condition of the brake cable of the overrunning hitch and the safety cable at
regular intervals.
