Vehicle coupling system :
The coupling may not exceed the speed of 32 km/h or 20 mph road speed. The
connection is provided by a standard ring (all types of couplings can be used with
hook, ring bolt or spoon coupling).
PROCEDURE
. Make sure that the tractor used can carry the nominal load of
the trailer.
. After coupling the trailer to the tractor, make sure the skid is
raised properly and in the resting position, securely locked.
. Check all lubrication points before the first use (see chapter
Maintenance)
Adjustable tractor coupling(automatic hook or pick-up coupling):
• Approach slowly in reverse, lower hitch to coincide with the ring.
• Once in place, raise the hitch (the ring will position itself).
• Lock the device.
• Raise the hydraulic or mechanical skid.
Fixed tractor coupling (ring bolt, autohitch, drawbar) :
Place the prop in position (ring above the ring bolt coupling or drawbar).
Approach to adjust coupling devices (tractor and machine): :
the ring bolt and lower the ring (it will position itself).
Pick up hitch
The drawbar
Manoeuver the tractor if necessary
Lock and raise the skid.
Connect all hydraulic hoses (pneumatic optional).
Connect the lights.
Tyres :
On commissioning the vehicle, it is imperative that the tyre pressures be
determined and adjusted according to the load on the tyres and the actual
conditions of use.
