Fig. 7
Danger
Make sure to check the torque after
50 kilometers following wheel mounting
and at regular intervals.
Tighten wheel nuts or screws evenly in
a diagonal sequence to the specified
torque using a torque wrench.
Replacing the trailer coupling ring
The coupling arrangements which can be
used:
* Trailer coupling ring RD 40
* Coupling 50 dia.
* Coupling ring 2" dia. (only for UK)
* Coupling ring 68 x 25 dia. (only for
France)
A different coupling unit in the form of a
complete kit may be ordered, if necessary.
Replacing the trailer coupling ring is
permitted only if proper fitting is carried out
by an inspectorate for the sector covered
by the Regulations Authorizing the Use of
Vehicles for Road Traffic (e.G. the TÜV -
Technical Inspectorate, DEKRA - German
Motor Vehicle Monitoring Association, etc.).
The inspection station provides a fitting
certificate to be kept with the vehicle
documents.
Danger
The screw compressor may only be
transported on public roads if
* The machine group (engine) is not
running,
* The pressure tank is not under
pressure,
* The shieldings are closed,
* The blocks are firmly hooked in
place,
* Hoisted and secured tail wheel,
* The tyres and brakes are
operationally safe and roadworthy,
* The lighting is fully functional.
Never exceed the maximum towing
speed! Danger! Observe national
regulations!
Please also observe the safety
instructions in Chapter 3 on the subject
of transporting.
Before transporting the compressor,
check to make sure that the drawgear of
the towing vehicle and the drawbar eye or
trailer hitch ball connection are aligned
exactly to each other.
When transporting the screw compressor
with a vehicle, the following points must be
observed:
* The shieldings are closed.
* The blocks are firmly hooked in place.
* The support(s) is(are) retracted and
locked in position (jockey wheel).
* Tow bar connected to the towing vehicle,
coupling cable connected to trailer.
* The drawbar is adjusted to the height of
the towing vehicle.
* Connect the contact-breaking cable to
the towing vehicle. Raise and secure the
supporting device.
* Connect the electrical connecting cable
between the vehicle and the screw
compressor.
*
Check the lighting (tail lights, brake lights,
indicator lamps, and rear fog lights).
* Check to make sure that the wheels are
properly tightened, the tyres are in a
roadworthy condition and the tyre
pressure is correct (danger of
accidents).
When parking the compressor, use the
support or the jockey wheel to secure the
compressor in a horizontal position. Apply
the parking brake. Use chocks to ensure
that the machine does not roll away.
Attention
Always keep a safe distance from the
edges of foundation ditches and
embankments! Do not travel across
slopes transversely.
5.2 Link up breakaway cable
If the towing connection becomes
uncoupled, the trailer is braked by the
breakaway cable. Put the breakaway cable
in the eye provided or wind it around the
towing collar and hitch it up to the cable
with the snaplink.
The breakaway cable must be attached in
a way that ensures that even on extremely
sharp bends there is no danger of
activating the locking brake.

5.3 Loading/Relocation
Fig. 9
Danger
Only use hoisting gear (e.g. crane) with
appropriate lifting capacity for the loads
occurring!
Only use the correct suspension gear!
Keep clear of the swiveling range of the
hoisting gear!
Keep clear of suspended loads!
All loose parts that could fall down
during hoisting must first be removed
or secured; pivoting parts, like doors,
towbars, etc. must be secured in such
a way that they cannot move.
Never leave the load suspended on the
hoisting gear. Acceleration or braking
of the means of transport must remain
within the approved limits.
Please also observe the safety
instructions in Chapter 3 on the subject
of loading.
Attention
Do not attempt to use a crane hook or
similar load suspension devices direct
on the lifting device to avoid damages
to the lifting device!
