4.3 Windsafe hooking system
With this type of lateral hooking system, the covering
automatically fastens to the lateral Z-Section installed on the
external side walls of the tipper body.
When the covering is completely unfolded, the tarp is locked
automatically and the vehicle is ready to travel.
The number of hooks may vary based on the length of the body
or the customer's requirements.
Coverings fitted with Windsafe Hooking system use a different rear tensioning plate with a 70 mm
pulley compared with the standard system. As a consequence, the positioning of the rear tensioning
plate has to be changed.
For installation, proceed as described below, depending on "standard" or "lowered" cable option used.
4.3.1 Installing the rear tensioning plate with 70 mm pulley with "STANDARD CABLE SYSTEM”
The most appropriate location of the plate is as close as possible to the rear edge, but, at the same time, at such a distance
as not to hinder the movement of hinges and similar.
1. For the correct operation of the covering, ensure that the axis of the lower plate fixing hole is located at a distance of
54.5 mm from the upper edge of the body.
2. Proceed with two M10 threaded holes on the side wall, in correspondence with the holes on the plate.
3. Secure the plate using the bevelled head screws M10x40 provided with the kit, ensuring that the tensioning screw is
facing the front of the vehicle.
Incorrect placement could cause damage to the covering itself or to the body.
If in doubt, it is advisable to try out the movement of the rear moving parts to avoid unpleasant
surprises.
4. Mount the plate on the opposite side using the same procedure.
