 D00012340A

2.1. COMPONENTS OF THE BODY OF THE TRACTOR AND OF THE TRAILER

The composition of the transport equipment varies depending on the model and the type of rig.
In general, it includes (from the front side to the back side) :
• A cap.
• A lower platform of the tractor.
• An upper platform of the tractor.
• A lower platform of the trailer.
• An upper platform of the trailer.
• One or more extension(s).

2.1.1. CAP
This is the part of the body which is located upon the cab of the truck, the cap permits to position one vehicle partially upon the cab.
The cap may be lifted hydraulically by a manual pump, in order to permit the tilting of the tractor's cab, this function is only designed for the
maintenance or repair works and must not be used during operation.
Depending on the version, the cap may be equipped with :
• fixed tracks in perforated plate.
• manual or hydraulic mobile elements.
The cap does not permit loading of a car when the upper platform of the tractor is in low position, except in the MULTILOHR range, equipped
with a standard cap : ’’VL’’ kit (Option). The lifting of the "VL" kit is operated manually on the range "MULTILOHR 200", and it is connected
to the main hydraulic generator on the range "MULTILOHR 300".

2.1.2. LOWER PLATFORM OF TRACTOR

The "low" loading level of the tractor's body; depending on the version it may include (manually or hydraulically) retractable cavities, manual
or hydraulic extensions on the rear side, a hydraulic stacker on the rear side. Its loading capacity varies depending on the versions and
equipments.

 D00012340A

2.1.3. UPPER PLATFORM OF THE TRACTOR

The "upper" loading level of the tractor's body; depending on the version it may consist of mobile cavity blocks, with one or more stackers
and manual or hydraulic rear extensions.
Depending on equipment, the vertical mobility may be ensured by different lifting systems (see chapter lifting systems).

2.1.4. LOWER PLATFORM OF THE TRAILER

The "low" loading level of the trailer; depending on the version it may be quite simple or consist of several mobile parts (stackers, extensions)
which can be put in flat position for the passage of vehicles, or in other positions, depending on the different transport configurations.
The lower rear extension permits in general the housing of the loading tracks, except for the rigs MAXILOHR.

2.1.5. UPPER TRAILER PLATE

The "upper" loading level of the trailer; depending on the version it may be quite simple or consist of several mobile parts (stackers,
extensions) which can be put in flat position for the passage of vehicles, or in other positions, depending on the different transport
configurations.
It may be equipped with manual and hydraulic front and rear extensions. On certain models, the whole platform can be translated forward
or backward.

Before moving vehicles on the platforms, make sure that the mobile parts are placed and locked in a way that driving of vehicles
is possible without risk.

Guardrails must be mounted in order to walk on the platforms

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

 D00012340A

2.1.6. MANUAL EXTENSIONS

Manual extensions are maintained by locks(1).

The locking of the manual extensions is obligatory for the passage and the transport of vehicles.

2.1.7. HYDRAULIC EXTENSIONS

The extensions are used for adjusting under load

In case of changing the position of extension under load, the axle located on the moving part must be rigged so that the axle located on the
plate must be left free to rotate (neither handbrake, nor gear engaged).

2.2. LIMITS OF USE

The limits of use of your equipment are imposed, partly by legislation in the country where it is used (load, maximum height and width,
speed, etc. ...), and partly by technical restrictions defining the positioning of loads on the platforms (for example).

The carrier alone is responsible for respecting traffic regulations defined in the highway code for the countries crossed. The
equipment is adequate to ensure that these rules are kept and the manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event of
incorrect use.

2.2.1. LIMITS AND DISTRIBUTION OF LOADS

For heavy localized loads, it may happen that the maximum payload for the equipment cannot be reached.
2.2.1.1. Payload
The payload is the maximum carrying capacity of your equipment. It varies with the type and version of rig and can only be reached if the
maximum loads for each platform are respected. Please contact us for the positioning of loads which are more important than the weight
indicated in the detailed charts in the chapters body and trailer.

The maximum loads applying to your equipment are indicated on the operation labels of the hydraulic distributors and also in the chapters
body and trailer.

2.2.2. POSITIONING OF LOADS

Better load balancing (comfort, road holding) will always be obtained by recentering and lowering the loads on the trailer and the lorry as
much as possible, in order to obtain the lowest centre of gravity possible. This remark is particularly important for partial loads
The canopy should not be used alone if the rest of the vehicle is not loaded. Loading the trailer must not give rise to a negative load on the
body. To guarantee optimal road-holding, it is strongly recommended to position the payload as far as possible on the body.

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

 D00012340A

2.2.3. MANUAL AND HYDRAULIC EXTENSIONS

The extension travel varies according to versions and equipment. For all loads, the extensions and vehicles at either end of the rig must
comply with the highway code for the country in which the equipment is used.
For a transport, the load may be placed at the end of the extension or on any other point, always it is important not to exceed the values of
the chart above.

4.1. HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT

Recover the oil which may be spread during the connection or disconnection of hydraulic lines, by appropriate means (clothes
or others)and ensure disposal complying with the rules of environmental protection.

4.1.1. OPERATING MODE OF THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT

4.1.1.1. General information

Depending on the rig, the energy which is needed for the operation of the hydraulic pump (1) is supplied by :
• The motor of the truck via a power take-off
• An electro-hydraulic unit, supplied by the truck, or by an external supply from type battery carriage.

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

4-1
 D00012340A

4.1.1.2. Hydraulic generator

The hydraulic oil required for the operation of the circuit is stored in a tank (2). The oil is sucked up and pressurized by a pump (1), supplying
the "P" circuit and passing by a replacable cartridge filter (3).
The circuit forms a loop, starting and ending in the hydraulic tank (1). While the pressurized oil is circulating, the distributors (4) permit to
direct the supplied pressure to the elements to be moved, the cylinder (5) or the hydraulic motor, depending on the needs. If no function is
activated, the oil returns to the tank (2) via the line T.
Protection of hydraulic elements (cylinders, motors)is ensured by pressure limiters, located on the distributors. Pressure limiters are not
adjustable.

The running of the hydraulic circuit in loop consumes energy, For this reason, do not run the installation needlessly without
using it.

The running of the hydraulic circuit in loop consumes energy. .

4.1.1.3. Particularities of the hydraulic circuit of the Eurolohr rigs

The circuit of the Eurolohr lorry is not designed for operation while the lorry is uncoupled. The start of the hydraulic pump
(activation of power take-off) generates a rapid increase of pressure which may damage the circuit.

4.2. REMINDER ON SAFETY RULES FOR USING HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT

If used wrongly, or in a poor condition, the hydraulic circuit can cause equipment to fail, but also damage the payload, or even bodily
accidents. In this respect, compliance with certain rules is required.

4.2.1. STARTING THE FACILITY

Before triggering the power take-off, always check the hydraulic controls.

Check that :

The distributor levers are in the neutral position.

Nothing interferes with hydraulic controls (distribution levers).

No object in contact with the levers can cause the rig to move when starting the facility.

4.2.2. OPERATION

Never block the distribution levers.

Handle controls gently to prevent jolting in circuits likely to cause damage.

When moving platforms or extensions, ensure nobody is located in the path of the moving elements or under the platforms.

Always follow the path of moving elements to be able to stop the current move at any time.
Check periodically (every 2 months or 25,000 km) the fastening of hydraulic elements, and more particularly those of the hydraulic
distributor.

A distributor consists of: :

• one input element (A). B

• distribution elements (number depending on equipment) towards the
hydraulic functions of the body or of the trailer (B). A
• an element for the closing of the distributor (C).

Some distributors may be equipped with a selection valve, permitting to dri-

ve two functions from only one element (see chapter 3-6).

The use of hydraulic distributors is only possible when there is hydraulic service pressure in the circuit, supplied by :
• activation of the power take-off, or.
• activation of the electro-hydraulic unit.
Distributors must be manipulated softly, in order to master the sudden moves of elements, and in order to avoid jerks in the circuit.
Never lock the distributor levers in working position.

4.5. AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING CYLINDERS

(Depending on the type of equipment)

4.5.1. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

When using the hydraulic equipment, the temperature in the circuit rises and causes an increase in the volume of oil.

At the end of operations, the automatic locking mechanism

traps the hot oil in the cylinder.
When the temperature falls, the volume of oil in the cylinder is
reduced, causing a change in its position. This is particularly
sensitive during cold weather.
X is the difference in level which may be as much as -30mm in
the position of a platform.

Clearance between vehicles and mobile elements must be 80 mm minimum. This must be checked and adjusted (if necessary)
after a few kilometres.

5.2.1. PNEUMATIC BRAKE CONTROL

Depending on the type of the equipment, two types of installation are possible.

1 2 1 2

Independent of the practiced installation type, two brake controls are available :
• the red control (square section), acting on the park braking system (1).
• the black control (round section), permitting the neutralizing of the breakaway braking (2).

Before moving off, make sure the parking brake is released.

5.2.2. EMERGENCY BRAKE NEUTRALIZATION CONTROL

During the uncoupling of the trailer, the uncoupling of the red hand releases the safety device for the case of breaking of the coupling,
detecting pneumatic cut-off and activating the emergency braking of the trailer.

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

5-7
 D00012340A

The neutralizing control permits to move the trailer when the break-away braking is activated.The control only works if there is enough air
in the tanks.
When this control is activated, the braking system of the trailer does not work anymore, thus its use may generate a risk.
Its use must be limited to parking or stabling maneuvers on horizontal ground at slow speed.

For safety reasons, pressurizing the "red" conduit automatically releases the emergency brake and switches the control to its initial position.

6.1.7. EBS ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM

The trailer is equipped with an electronic EBS anti-lock with two channels.
Operating principle :
On braking, the sensors in the hubs detect any tendency to lock on one or more wheels. The electronic calculator which controls the system
regulation valves determines the pressure delivered to each wheel to obtain maximum deceleration according to the coefficient of adhesion.

 D00012340A

8.1.1.1. Uncoupling / Coupling

If the rig is equipped with a stabilizer of coupling, uncouple the stabilizer before the uncoupling of lorry and trailer. This operation requires
tooling and technical skills that the driver does not have..
To release and open the coupling mechanism
Raise the handle (1) fully and release it.
This raises the coupling axis (2), allowing to clear the coupling eye. When pulled, the coupling eye releases the mechanism, which closes
and locks.

To open the mechanism and engage the coupling eye

Raise the handle (1) fully and release it.
This raises the coupling axis (2), allowing to clear the coupling eye. When inserting the coupling eye, the mechanism is released, the
coupling closes, and locks automatically.
A safety indicator (3) allows to check whether the coupling mechanism is locked properly. The safety indicator enters fully inside when the
coupling mechanism is secured.

For the operations on the electric, pneumatic and hydraulic connections and on the stabilizer of coupling, please refer to the corresponding
chapters.

8.1.2. BALL COUPLING HOOK LOHR TA2050

If the connection between lorry and trailer is realized by a ball coupling LOHR TA2050, the intervention of the driver is limited to the current
checks and maintenance tasks which do not require any disassembly.

If uncoupling of the trailer is necessary, this operation must be imperatively realized in a workshop with specific tooling and in
compliance with regulations.

8.1.3. FIFTH WHEEL

1 2 1
The handle (1) is used to activate the fifth wheel mechanism.
The mechanism is locked at the control handle by a spring lock (2) or snap link (3) depending on the assembly.

The locking device (2 or 3) is also intended to provide visual assurance that the kingpin is properly engaged in the fifth wheel.
If the spring lock (2) is not closed or the snap link (3) cannot be closed, do not force the lever (1), but start the coupling manoeuvre
again.
It is important to make sure the fifth wheel is locked before each departure.

 D00012340A

To couple the tractor :

sure the fifth wheel is in "coupling" position (handle hooked into out position).
verify that the fifth wheel is slightly higher than the body coupling, changing the setting on the body landing gear or tractor suspension if
necessary.
reverse the tractor in line with the kingpin.
when the kingpin penetrates the fifth wheel, it releases the coupling and locking mechanism.
make sure it is properly locked (lever blocked by the spring lock), make the electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic connection and release the
handbrake before moving off.
Retract and store the body side jacks and the trailer drawbar central landing gear..

To uncouple the tractor :

before activating the fifth wheel mechanism, put on the handbrake and rest the body and trailer on the landing gear.
after disconnecting the pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical connections, move the tractor forwards.

If the tractor is equipped with a central fifth wheel designed to pull a semi-trailer, the EUROLOHR body coupling can only be used if the fifth
wheel is in locked position to allow the manoeuvring handle to go in (1).

The fifth wheel is locked by releasing the coupling mechanism with a lever (the wheel wrench lever or manual pump lever can be used, 2).

Before coupling the semi-trailer, the fifth wheel must be unlocked.

8.1.5. COUPLING STABILIZER (DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT)

This device provides good driving comfort and can be mounted on most road rigs equipped with trailers with central axles. The improvement
is clear on both straight and twisty roads where the trailer's reactions are attenuated without affecting the coupling's manoeuvrability.

In practice, the driver's job is limited to inspections and routine maintenance not requiring dismantling.

8.1.5.1. Operating principle (example)

4
1
2 3

The articulation between the lorry and the trailer is slowed down by a pneumatic device (with one or two bellows(2)), releasing the clamping
of the brake pads (3) on the metal track (1).. The pressure for the operation of the stabilizer is supplied by the pneumatic circuit of the rig,
a quick coupler (see chapter 5) realizing the connection with the pneumatic circuit.

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

8-8
 D00012340A

Assembly is adapted to each rig type, but the operation principle remains the same.

If there is a loss of pressure in the pneumatic bellows, the driver is alerted by a light indicator either on the front right post behind the cab
or in the cab, combined with a sound alarm.

In case of malfunction (indicator lit), reduce speed and adapt your driving, while avoiding sudden changes in direction. The
device must be repaired as soon as possible.
For the check and the uncoupling of the coupling stabilizer, refer to the chapter maintenance.

 D00012340A

In order to safely manoeuvre the telescopic draw-bar, it is imperative that the trailer be secured by means of the parking brake whereas the
truck cab must be capable of freely moving in a straight line..
Manoeuvring the hydraulic draw-bar must, imperatively, be performed on a flat surface using the following procedure :
Place the convoy in a straight line without blocking the wheels
Lock the parking brake, separately if the vehicle is equipped with separate controls for the truck and trailer.
When the truck and trailer are both braked, and if the truck does not have a separate trailer parking brake control in the cab, lower the cab
in order to activate the trailer parking brake.
Remove the safety that prohibits use of the PTO when the parking brake is removed.
Engage the PTO.
Activate the control to remove the truck parking brake (general control or separate truck control).
When the truck is not braked and the trailer is braked, it is then possible to activate the hydraulic control to change the length of the draw-
bar.

Depending on the equipment, there are several types of screw lifting systems :
• Screw lifting system with mechanical connection by a transmission shaft to the hydraulic motor for a lifting crane.
• Independent screw lifting systems with hydraulic motor, by lifting screw.
A rig may be equipped with several types of screw lifting systems.

LOHR 2010 - 01/2013

9-2
 D00012340A

9.2.2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Depending on the system, the lifting power is transmitted to the lifting screws (4) by one or two hydraulic motors (1). In the system with only
one lifting motor (1), power is retransmitted to a second screw (4) by an angle transmission system(3)and a transmission shaft(2).
The interface between the mobile platform (A) and the lifting screws is realized by the forks which are trapping the lifting nuts (5).
Ball stops (6) are fixing the screws at the top of the lifting posts.
The lifting screw cranes are not reversible, that means that the charge transmitted by the lifting nuts cannot make them turn. Optionally,
certain rigs are equipped with manual locks at the bottom of the lifting screws ( for roads with very strong vibrations ).
On the cranes with independent screws (two motors), there may occur a height difference between the left and the right lifting nut. An electric
control permits to close the hydraulic supply of one of the hydraulic motors in order to reset the platform level. The realignment control is
located beside the distributor block.
9.2.2.1. Operation

Engage the power take off (if necessary).

Activate the control corresponding to the desired lift.

pulling the distributor lever to raise the platform.

pushing the distributor lever to lower the platform.

During movement, the nuts may reach the upper or lower stop, preventing the gantry from moving further. The platform must
therefore be moved carefully when it is close to the limit of travel. In case of blocking of the crane, refer to chapter(6)maintenance.
