operating conditions
2.1.3.1 Safety measures
• The tow plate of the spreader must be vertical when the
vehicle is loaded.
• The draw bar is adjustable for height as well as length.
Important: When adjusting height, self-locking nuts (A)
must only be used once, i.e. always use new self-locking
nuts. Nut (M14 DIN 985 A2) torque must be 120 Nm.
• Connect the guide chain (safety chain) to the chassis of
the truck and tighten. See section 5.4.1.
The safety chains ensure that the spreader acts as a
part of the vehicle, particularly when reversing and on
tight bends. The safety chains must be adjusted to pre-
vent the spreader touching the bumper or lights (etc.) of
the towing vehicle.
• The stabiliser/supporting leg facilitates
connection/disconnection of the spreader. Before dri-
ving, the driver must check that the stabiliser/supporting
leg has been lifted.
• The depth of the tyre tread pattern must be min. 1.6
mm.
For information on air pressure in the road tyres, see
section 2.3.2.
