The chassis consists of the following components:
4 5
1 2 3
6 7
1 Trailer coupling 5 Support wheel
2 Overrunning brake equipment 6 Drawbar
3 Parallel adjuster 7 Frame
4 Handbrake
The trailer coupling can be fi tted either with a trailer coupling ring as
per DIN 74054 or a ball head coupling.
When the towing vehicle brakes or travels downhill, the tension bar on
the overrunning brake equipment retracts depending on the magnitude
of the drawbar force and the machine brakes accordingly.
The parallel adjuster makes sure that the overrunning brake equipment
and the drawbar always remain parallel to one another. As a result, the
trailer coupling on the machine can be adapted to the height of the
towing vehicle.
The handbrake prevents the machine from moving. If the chassis rolls
back, the handbrake tightens automatically.
Danger ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The machine may roll until the braking force takes full effect.
The drawbar must always be parallel with the ground during the journey
(see Chapter 4.3 Before moving off - ground clearance).
The support wheel moves the machine into a horizontal position at the
place of work. Wind up, fold up and secure the support wheel in this
position before driving off.
The frame is made from a special torsion-resistant, high-grade steel that
gives the machine stable roadholding.
