Checks and actions prior to commissioning

Check all controls and their operation
Before each shift, check that the tow tractor
controls work correctly and are safe:
– Check that the braking system works
correctly
– Check that the steering system works
correctly
– Check that the traction system works
correctly
– Check that the driver's display is working
– Check that all auxiliary controls are working
Do not use the tow tractor if one or more
operations are not working correctly. Report

Checking tyre pressure and condi-

tion

WARNING
Risk of accident
Uneven wear reduces the stability of the tow tractor
and increases braking distance.
– Worn or damaged tyres (left or right) must be
replaced immediately.

Normally, each tyre must be inflated to 8 bar.

– If necessary, inflate the tyres (1).
– Check the condition of the tyres and tyre
wear (2). Look for tyre damage caused by
foreign bodies. Tyres must be worn evenly
on both sides.
