SETTING UP THE RAILCAR HITCH HEIGHT:
The railcar hitch FW6170 can be set at three coupling
heights in order to be loaded with different types of
trailers. In the lowered position the railcar hitch allows
the wagon to be loaded with standard containers
3
1. In order to adjust the height of the railcar hitch the
operating handle (1) has to be pulled out (A) and
then hung up by moving it upwards
2. Put the crank on the driveshaft (2) and set the
favoured height by turning the crank set. Once the
operation handle snaps back inwards the next
height has been reached.
3. In order to be correctly locked the control lever
must be located completely under the square block.
This will be visible to the correlation of the markings
on the locking lever and the base plate (3). If the
square is not parrellel to the base plane, so the
crank must be turned further until the locking lever
can pass under the square block. Ignoring this
feature may lead to damage of the height lock
(For a better understanding the control lever and
the square block is shown in the pictures without
the cover plate)

LUBRICATION
SAF-HOLLAND Group
Periodic lubrication of the railcar hitch FW6170 is to be conducted at least every four months by using a water
resistant, lithium based grease. We recommend a long-term pressure grease NLGI class 21 with MoS2 or,
e.g. MOTOREX. The lubrication intervals must be adapted to the respective operating conditions, shorter and
longer intervals are possible. Make sure that all moving parts are clean and adequately lubricated. Attention
should be paid especially to the following lubrication points:
1. All parts of the locking mechanism
2. Bevel gear (every 8 months or if required)
3.
4.
5.
Spindle
Outer surface of the lifting arms
Contact surface of sliding frame

Notes:
When cleaning the railcar hitch, environmentaly harmful substances may be used. We point out that the
corresponding current waste regulations of each country must be observed when disposing of this waste.
We recommend the wearing of protective gloves when working with lubricant.
1. Release lock nuts (1)
2. Tighten screws (2) with a torque wrench SW30. Torque Md=115 Nm
3. Tighten the lock nuts
5
SAF-HOLLAND Group
Checking the torque of the shock absorber elements
The torque of the screws for fixing the shock absorber elements must be checked every 8 months
PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE:
Maintenance and repair work on the railcar hitch may only be performed by qualified personnel at certified
specialist workshops. In this regard, special hazards must be taken into account if SAF-Holland Verkehrstechnik
original parts are not used or retaining elements are used more then once.
The periodic inspection and maintenance procedures for the railcar hitch are to be performed every four months,
but this frequency is depending upon its usage. At each service the railcar hitch has to be checked for damage
and to be repaired when indicated. The function of the railcar hitch has to be checked after every service.
1. Check the complete railcar hitch thoroughly. Replace any missing or damaged bolts and nuts.
2. Check the locking mechanism for damage and for proper operation.
3.
4.
Check the operation handles for damage. Make sure the handles are not bent.
Check the operation handle springs. Missing or damage springs must be replaced.
Shock absorber elements which have become deformed, or which have fallen out of the top
plate must be replaced immediately.
Important! Failure to follow these instructions could result in an accident

MAINTENANCE - DAMAGE EVENT
SAF-HOLLAND Group
In case of a shock in the longtitudinal direction of the TWIN-wagon the Shock Absorbers can be damaged. In this
case the wagon may continue only after appropriate securing of the semi-trailer and has to be transported under
the conditions of the railway company
When the Shock Absorbers are compressed after a collision, all parts of the railcar hitch,
especially the locking mechanism and the king pin must be checked for damage.
Damaged parts must be replaced Immediately.
Important! Failure to follow these instructions could result in an accident
The shock absorbers and the lock plunger can be replaced with the railcar hitch in situ. In this case the railcar
hitch must be in the upper position.
