Transporting
1. CAUTION!
Unintentional brake application.
If the breakaway cable is too short it can apply the brakes when rounding a curve. This impo‐
ses high wear on the braking system.
➤ Make sure the breakaway cable is long enough.
2. Thread the breakaway cable through the guide welded on the side of the towbar.
3. Loop the end of the cable round the towing vehicle hitch and secure with the spring clip.
Additional breakaway prevention
Safety chains are accessories.
The towbar may be provided with two safety chains as additional protection against breakaway
from the towing vehicle (see 10).
If these are provided, it is essential that they be attached to the towing vehicle before towing.
1. Pick up the ends of the chains and cross the chains.
2. Loop the ends over the hooks provided on the towing vehicle.
3. If no special hooks are provided, secure the chains to the ball hitch.
Parking the compressor
The parking brake is not a running brake and is used only to lock the wheels when the machine is
positioned.
The machine is generally only moved by being coupled to a towing vehicle. If the jockey wheel is
wound too far out, the spindle can disengage and the towbar fall to the ground.
CAUTION
Injury can occur if the towbar is unsupported and allowed to fall.
A falling towbar can cause injury, especially by crushing the feet.
If the jockey wheel is would completely out, the spindle can disengage and allow the towbar
to fall to the ground.
➤ Do not wind the jockey wheel completely out when the machine is uncoupled from the
towing vehicle.
Injury can occur if the towbar is unsupported and allowed to fall.
Carry out the following when parking the compressor
When parking on a slope, securely chock the machine before uncoupling.
1. Disconnect the lighting and signalling cable.
