2.1 Checking of Walterscheid Piton-Fix: (see Figure 3)

Push the corresponding measuring range of the gauge (marked „piton-fix“) above the Piton-Fix. While doing this the Piton-Fix must be measured 15 mm above the Piton bracket plate. Normally this is the area, which touches the towing eye.
The coupling pin has reached the wear limit when it completely immerses itself in the gauge or when it is smaller than the minimum diameter of 41,5 mm.

Insert the corresponding measuring range of the gauge (marked „ring 50“) into the towing eye. The checkup must be conduct in at least four different positions at the extent.
The towing eye has reached the wear limit when it is completely immersed in the gauge.
