WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS SO IMPORTANT! This handbook contains the information which you, the driver, will need for optimum efficiency, safety and comfort when operating this vehicle. Besides giving instructions about operation and use, it also pays attention to maintenance and minor repairs which you may be able to carry out yourself. Note: This handbook is based on the chassis with its fittings as it originally left the factory.
Important Make sure this handbook is in the vehicle at all times. Read it carefully before making your first journey, especially the "Warnings and safety precautions", "Cab, instruments and controls", "Inspections and maintenance" and "Driving" sections.
Warnings and Safety Regulations 13
Warnings and Safety Regulations D000500 WARNING SYMBOLS To ensure the highest level of safety in the operation of your vehicle, various warnings are included in this handbook. Each warning is indicated by a special warning symbol. When text is accompanied by the adjacent warning symbol, this indicates that the information in question is very important for the health and/or safety of those concerned. Disregarding this information may result in serious damage, injury or even death.
Warnings and Safety Regulations D000501 When text is accompanied by the adjacent warning symbol, this indicates that the information in question is very important for the operating safety of the vehicle. Disregarding this information may result in the loss of directional stability, steering problems or the vehicle otherwise getting out of control, causing serious damage, injury and other life-threatening situations.
Warnings and Safety Regulations } WARNINGS AND SAFETY REGULATIONS To prevent damage to the vehicle and in order not to jeopardise your health and/or safety, or that of other people, the following warning and safety regulations must be strictly observed.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Warning triangle Ensure that you are always in possession of a hazard warning triangle (obligatory in certain countries), possibly in combination with other marking equipment. In the event of a breakdown en route, wear reflective clothing when outside the vehicle. Fire extinguisher Ensure that you are always in possession of a fire extinguisher (obligatory in certain countries).
Warnings and Safety Regulations Winter conditions When winter driving conditions are expected (especially if the vehicle is operated in mountainous areas), make sure that your vehicle is fitted with winter tires or that you have snow chains with you. Also refer to "Maintenance operations before the winter season" in "Inspections and maintenance". Load The load should always be properly secured so that it cannot move, not even during an emergency stop. Remember that sidewalls, partitions, etc.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Maintenance activities When carrying out maintenance work under the cab, make sure the cab is fully tilted and locked to prevent it from falling back accidentally. If a cooler box/refrigerator has been fitted, it should be switched off and if necessary unplugged before tilting (depending on the type). The cooler box/refrigerator should remain switched off at least 30 minutes after the cab has been tilted back.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Maintenance of air conditioning system The air conditioning system contains coolant under high pressure. Removal of any parts of the air conditioning system is not permitted. Work on the air conditioning system may only be carried out by qualified personnel. If the air conditioning fails to work, it must be repaired by a dealer as soon as possible, to avoid further damage to the system. Environment Pollution constitutes a serious threat to the environment.
Warnings and Safety Regulations TECHNICAL ITEMS OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE To prevent damage to the vehicle, the following instructions must be strictly observed. Running-in During the running-in period it is best not to subject the new vehicle to excessive loads. This also applies when an overhauled engine, gearbox or differential has been installed. Therefore, for the first 1,500 km (932 miles): drive carefully and avoid accelerating sharply.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Removing the thermostat when the coolant temperature is (too) high serves no useful purpose and is strongly advised against, since this will only cause the engine temperature to rise to an even higher level. The turbocharger is a precision component. You should therefore immediately report any abnormal noise that seems to be coming from this component. Air leakage If the pressure in the air reservoirs drops rapidly with the engine switched off, this indicates a leak.
Warnings and Safety Regulations } Charging Thaw out frozen batteries before charging them. Remove all the filler caps before charging. Connect the positive lead (+) of the battery charger to the positive terminal (+) of the battery first and then the negative lead (–) to the negative terminal (–). After charging, switch off the battery charger and then disconnect the negative terminal (–) and subsequently the positive terminal (+). For normal charging, the battery leads may remain in place.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Welding For welding on the vehicle and/or superstructure, see the "Workshop manual" and "Bodybuilders Guidelines". Not following the welding instructions can cause damage to the electronic components. Starting with auxiliary batteries The engine may be started with the aid of jump leads using the power from separate auxiliary batteries (approx. 24 V) or from another vehicle with the engine running (approx. 28 V).
Warnings and Safety Regulations Mobile telephones and transmitters If mobile telephones and transmitting equipment are used, the following points must be taken into account: - Mobile telephones or transmitters must not be used in the vehicle without a separate outside aerial! } - The use of mobile telephones or transmitters without a separate outside aerial may cause excessively high electromagnetic fields in the cab interior (resonance effect).
Warnings and Safety Regulations AIRBAG SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Vehicles equipped with an airbag and seat belt tensioner system can be identified by a sticker with the airbag symbol on the windscreen and the word "AIRBAG" on the airbag unit on the steering wheel. A vehicle equipped with an airbag also has an automatic seat belt tensioner.
Warnings and Safety Regulations - - When replacing the windscreen, observe a longer drying time for the windscreen sealant. This longer drying time is usually stated on the windscreen sealant packing/tube. If in doubt, contact an authorized dealer or the windscreen sealant supplier. If any welding is required, observe safety precautions for welding jobs.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Activation - If the airbag is activated in a collision, a white powder/gas will be released. This is in no way an indication of fire. The powder itself is not health-damaging. - The airbag and seat belt tensioners can be activated only once. After activation of the system the parts must be replaced by an authorized Service dealer to provide the same protection.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Inspections - The system is only functioning correctly if: - after turning the ignition on, an airbag message appears on the master display which disappears after approx. 5 to 10 seconds. - The system is not functioning correctly if: - after turning the ignition on, no airbag message appears on the master display. - the airbag message on the master display has still not disappeared after approx. 10 seconds after turning on the ignition.
Warnings and Safety Regulations Maintenance - Clean the airbag cover only with a dry or damp cloth. If it is heavily fouled, ask an authorized Service dealer for an approved cleaning agent. Do not stick anything to the airbag cover. Do not treat the cover with a cleaning agent, solvent, grease, paint, lacquer or other substance. - } } Check that the cover of the airbag unit is not damaged. Do not damage the tear seams or the cover of the airbag unit.
Alarm System 31
Alarm System THE SYSTEM The theft protection system consists of several forms of protection, which each protect the vehicle in a different way: - The immobiliser (electronic drive-off lock) prevents the engine from being started without the correct key. Note: If a vehicle does not have an alarm system but it does have an immobiliser, there will always be a system LED. This LED will flash at a low frequency when the ignition is switched off.
Alarm System The system is now fully operational. Ensure that there is nothing in the interior that can cause a false alarm, e.g. moving objects in the cab. Pressing the button (2) on the hand-held transmitter results in the system deactivating itself. This is indicated visually by the warning lights lighting up 3 times. SELF-DIAGNOSIS The electronic anti-theft system has an extensive self-diagnostic function.
Alarm System USE WHEN STAYING IN THE CAB If people remain in the vehicle, the system may only be activated if the interior protection is switched off. This avoids unnecessary sounding of the alarm. The interior protection is deactivated as follows: 1. Deactivate the alarm system. 2. Press the "Switch off interior detection" switch. See "Cab, instruments and controls". The system LED will come on for approx. 2 seconds. 3. Then activate the alarm system with button (1) on the hand-held transmitter.
Alarm System DEACTIVATION LOADSPACE DETECTION SUPERSTRUCTURE/TRAILER If you need to access the loadspace of the superstructure/trailer while retaining the remaining detection options, the system can only be activated if the loadspace detection is switched off. This avoids unnecessary sounding of the alarm. The loadspace detection is deactivated as follows: 1. Deactivate the alarm system. 2. Press the "Switch off loadspace detection superstructure/trailer" switch. See "CAB, INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS".
Alarm System THE SYSTEM LED If the LED is off (A), the vehicle may be started. If the LED flashes slowly (B), the alarm system has been activated. If the LED flashes quickly (C), a self-test will be carried out or an error message is given by means of a flashing code. A B If the system raised an alarm, the cause can be determined via the system LED by reading the flashing code (C).
Alarm System LOSS OF HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER If you lose a hand-held transmitter, you must replace it as soon as possible. When replacing it, the lost transmitter can be rendered unusable by erasing the code from the central door locking memory. Without hand-held transmitters, the alarm system can only be switched off by turning on the ignition. SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER If the system does not respond to the hand-held transmitter, the following tips may provide a solution: 1.
Alarm System BATTERY, HAND-HELD TRANSMITTERS Recommendation: Ensure that two spare batteries (type CR 1620, 3V) are available at all times. Depending on the use, the battery life is between 3 and 12 months. MAINTENANCE Have the alarm system checked at least once per year by your authorized Service dealer. This guarantees optimum protection. Watch the ultrasound sensors on both sides of the roof box. Make sure that they do not come loose or are pointed in a different direction.

Unscrew the ring-shaped drain cock (B) on the bottom of the water separator in anti-clockwise direction. 4. Drain the filter until pure diesel fuel comes out of the drain cock (A). 5.
Inspections and Maintenance D0 00 627 } BATTERIES - 132 Avoid sparks and open flames in the vicinity of batteries. Battery acid is an aggressive fluid. In the event of contact with the skin: rinse the skin profusely with plenty of water. Consult a doctor in the event of persistent redness or pain. Remove polluted clothing and rinse in water. In the event of contact with the eyes: rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor. If swallowed: do NOT induce vomiting.
Inspections and Maintenance - Check that the battery poles and terminals are clean and greased. If necessary, coat the posts with an acid-free petroleum jelly.
Inspections and Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENANCE The durability, safety, trade-in value and reliability of your vehicle largely depend on the care you give it. This includes regular service in accordance with the maintenance schedules specified. The driving style of the person at the wheel and the care given to the vehicle will have a direct influence on the condition of the vehicle. The driver can often provide the dealer with information which is very important for correct maintenance.
Inspections and Maintenance LUBRICATING FIFTH WHEEL/TRAILER COUPLING The fifth wheel or trailer coupling must be lubricated every 5,000 km (3,170 miles).
Inspections and Maintenance CAB MAINTENANCE In order to keep this quality as high as possible, during vehicle use, regular maintenance should be carried out on the cab surfaces. To prevent the formation of rust in box sections and other cavities, the cab is protected with corrosion-inhibiting products (ML) in production. Due to the setting of the structure, minor bare spots may develop in this additional protective coating.
Inspections and Maintenance - - - Do not spray directly onto steering ball joints. The power steering fluid reservoir is fitted with a vent. Water may enter the reservoir via this vent, which will cause damage to the steering gear. When cleaning the radiator/intercooler, take care not to damage the fins. Do not direct the high-pressure cleaner/steam cleaner jet too long at the air-conditioning system condenser.
Inspections and Maintenance Cleaning the cab Depending on the vehicle's operating conditions, the external paintwork of the cab is subject to attack by corrosive substances, for example road salt, grit and polluted air. For instance, road salt and air pollution. The paintwork must therefore be cleaned regularly. When cleaning the cab, make sure that: - no caustic cleaners are used - no hard brushes are used - all seams, gaps and door shut-lines are thoroughly cleaned.
Inspections and Maintenance Cleaning the interior The day cab can be fitted with fabric or plastic trimming. The sleeper cab is only available with fabric trimming. The plastic can be cleaned with a household cleaning agent and warm water. The fabric trimming should be cleaned with a non-aggressive dry-cleaning agent, or an equivalent product.
Inspections and Maintenance Note: Additives which are used to prevent precipitation of paraffin crystals have a purely preventative effect. They can not dissolve the paraffin crystals once they have been precipitated. Always carry a spare fuel fine filter in the vehicle so that you can replace it quickly if it becomes blocked in any way (for example, by paraffin crystals). Always preferably fill up in the evenings to prevent condensation (especially in winter).
Inspections and Maintenance MAINTENANCE AFTER THE WINTER SEASON Your authorized Service dealer can always give you good advice to prepare your vehicle for summer. COOLING SYSTEM The coolant may be left in the cooling system during the summer.

Driving { STEERING LOCK/CONTACT/STARTER SWITCH S D NEVER turn the ignition key to the rest position (0) or remove it while the vehicle is in motion. This may cause the steering wheel lock to engage. Position 0: rest position When the key is removed in this position the steering wheel can be locked. If the steering wheel is turned slightly the steering wheel will lock. 0 A D000970 Position A: accessories position Steering wheel unlocked. The key cannot be removed.
Driving } STARTING PROCEDURE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. If you start the engine inside a building, open the doors fully to ensure adequate ventilation. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an invisible, odourless, but highly toxic gas. Inhalation of these gases may cause unconsciousness and death. Check that the parking brake is engaged. Depress the clutch pedal and put the gear lever in neutral. Switch the ignition to position D. Check that the warning indicator of the parking brake lights up.
Driving In case of an optional engine speed control, one of various engine speeds can be selected with the right-hand steering column switch, if so desired. Before driving away, check that the central "STOP" warning light is not illuminated. IMMOBILISER FAULT If the engine management system detects a problem with the immobiliser, the "STOP" light on the instrument panel lights up continuously when the ignition is switched on. A warning is also activated on the instrument panel display.
Driving ENGINE SPEED CONTROL The minimum and maximum engine speeds that can be set are limited by a preprogrammed value in the electronic unit. This value may be below the idling speed. In this case it will, however, not fall below idling speed. The programmed engine speeds and conditions for activation/deactivation of the engine speed control can be modified by an authorized Service dealer on request.
Driving Activating the engine speed control 1. Turn the ON/OFF switch (B) to the "ON" position. 2. Turn switch (C) briefly to the "RES -" or "SET +" position. The "RES -" and "SET +" positions have two different programmed engine speeds. If the rotating switch (C) is held in "RES -" or "SET +" position for over 1 second, the engine speed control will be activated at the lowest programmable speed. If this speed is below idling speed, the speed will not fall below the idling speed. 3.
Driving Interruption of engine speed control - When the vehicle brake is operated. When the parking brake is disengaged. When the clutch is operated. Turn the ON/OFF switch (B) to the "OFF" position if the vehicle speed exceeds the programmed speed. if the engine speed control is active via the superstructure. if the external speed limiter on the superstructure is active. when the ASR control is being activated.

Driving Note: The function of key (D) is equal to the "RES -" position of switch (C). Note: The accelerator pedal is still active. When, after accelerating, the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle speed will return to the last pre-set speed. Deactivating the cruise control - Turn the ON/OFF switch (B) to the "OFF" position. Interrupting the cruise control - Operation of the clutch pedal. Operation of the service brake. Operation of the parking brake. Operation of the engine brake.
Driving Note: The function of key (D) is equal to the "RES -" position of switch (C).
Driving VEHICLE SPEED LIMITATION FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS Speed limitation for special applications consists of a switch which is fitted on the vehicle superstructure. With this switch, the vehicle speed can be limited to a preprogrammed value. The programmed value can be modified by an authorized Service dealer on request. DRIVING STYLE The following recommendations result in improved economy without adversely affecting the vehicle speed (i.e. slowing down). In other words: an efficient driving style.
Driving DIFFERENTIAL LOCK The rear axle can optionally be equipped with a differential lock which can be activated from the cab. Directions for use The differential lock may only be used when driving on soft ground or on a slippery road surface, and never on firm ground. The differential lock should be engaged: - with the vehicle stationary or moving very slowly with the clutch pedal depressed.
Driving STEERING The steering gear is hydraulically assisted. As excessive pressure may damage the hydraulic pump, stop turning the steering wheel when the wheels are at full lock or are blocked by an obstacle. The steering gear may be damaged, if this is ignored. RAS-EC SYSTEM The RAS-EC system is an electronically controlled, speed dependent steering system for the trailing axle. This steering system reduces the turning circle and tire wear to a minimum.
Driving } In the event of a serious fault, the driving properties of the vehicle will be affected. A serious fault is indicated by an acoustic signal and the "STOP" warning indicator will light up. Stop as soon as possible, park the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine. Have an authorized Service dealer correct the problem as soon as possible. ASR (ANTI SLIP CONTROL) The vehicle can optionally be fitted with ASR control.
Driving ABS BRAKES The ABS system is an Anti-lock Braking System. The ABS ensures good brake stability and good steering in a critical braking situation. By preventing the wheels from locking, the steering characteristics of the vehicle are retained. Bear in mind that when the prime mover is equipped with ABS but not the drawn vehicle, or vice versa, the directional stability and steering characteristics will not be as good as when both units are equipped with ABS.
Driving ABS warning symbol in master display If the ABS warning symbol in the master display remains illuminated while driving, the ABS system is partly or completely deactivated and the brake system will work as if no ABS is present. The wheels may then lock upon braking. D0 00 587 } PARKING BRAKE AND SERVICE BRAKE Always apply the parking brake when parking the vehicle. Do not release the parking brake while the steering lock is still engaged.
Driving ENGINE BRAKE The engine brake is primarily intended for prolonged braking, for example when decelerating from high speed on a level road or when driving downhill. This reduces service brake wear. A D0 00 720 By moving the operating lever on the steering column in direction A and releasing the accelerator pedal, the engine brake control will be activated. Note: - The engine cannot be turned off with the engine brake.
Driving - when the engine speed drops below 1000 rpm. when the ABS/ASR system has established a tendency for the wheels to lock. when the accelerator pedal is depressed. when the vehicle speed control or engine speed control has been engaged. { C If the ABS/ASR control is activated, the engine brake will be switched off as long as the control is in operation.
Driving - - When driving a vehicle combination, check whether the parking brake lever can be moved even further backwards from position B against the pressure of the spring. Press in the parking brake lever and pull it further back (to position C). This is the test position, the drawn vehicle's brakes are not applied in this position. Check that the vehicle combination remains in place. Let the parking brake spring back to position B. Place chocks in front of and behind the wheels.

Automatic Gearbox 189
Automatic Gearbox ALLISON 1000 & 2000 SERIES General The automatic gearbox is fully electronically controlled. The automatic gearbox has 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. The automatic gearbox is operated by a selector lever. The selector lever is located next to the driver's seat. D0 00 789 Shifting gears The various gears are selected with the selector lever. Neutral position No gears are activated in the "N" position. The vehicle is not locked in this position and can therefore roll.
Automatic Gearbox therefore advisable to depress the brake pedal before selecting position "D". In this position the gearbox will automatically shift up and down in all forward gears. In the "1", "2" and "3" positions the gearbox shifts up to the selected gear. These positions are used to keep the engine within the proper speed range or to obtain the maximum engine brake performance. Reverse If position "R" is chosen the vehicle will also be immediately set in motion.
Automatic Gearbox ALLISON MD3060 D0 00 790 General The automatic transmission is electronically controlled and has a diagnostics system that saves possible errors in the memory of the ECU (Electronic Control Unit). They can be read out later. The operation and display take place via the selector keypad. The selector keypad has a display located next to the driver's seat and replaces the gear lever on manual gearboxes.
Automatic Gearbox Neutral Neutral position Drive Automatic forward drive Reverse Reverse MODE Shift program selection Shifting up √ Shifting down D0 00 791 Shifting gears Neutral position No gear is engaged in the "N" position. The vehicle is not locked in this position and can therefore roll. Use the parking brake to lock the vehicle. The letter "N" appears in the display.
Automatic Gearbox Automatic forward drive If position "D" is chosen, the vehicle will be immediately set in motion. (If the air system is pressurised and if the parking brake is not on.) It is therefore advisable to depress the brake pedal before selecting position "D". In this position the gearbox automatically shifts up to the higher gear. In the display, the figure of the highest gear to which the gearbox can be shifted appears.
Automatic Gearbox Normal program This program is chosen automatically when the vehicle contact has been turned off. The warning lamp at the "MODE" key is not on. This program allows the gearbox to shift gears as and when necessary so that driving at higher speeds is possible. This may be advisable on unpaved terrain. Economy program The warning lamp at the "MODE" key is on. This program will, in general, shift gears at somewhat lower engine speeds. This results in more economical fuel consumption.
Automatic Gearbox Use of the engine brake When the engine brake is operated in third or higher gear, the ECU will shift down to second gear as soon as the engine speed permits to do so. This is in order to allow the engine brake to deliver maximum braking force. The selector display shows the second gear selected by the ECU. Using the PTO If the vehicle is fitted with a PTO, this can be switched on in both neutral and first gear (depending on the version).
Automatic Gearbox Gearbox The ECU will block the functions of the selector and the gearbox will select a "safe gear" for the gearbox. It is important to drive the vehicle to a safe place as soon as possible and turn the contact off. It will no longer be possible to shift the gearbox to neutral. The ECU will prevent this. After approximately 30 seconds, try starting the engine again and engaging a gear.

Emergency repairs VEHICLE TOOL KIT All vehicles are fitted with a tool bag in the cab and a jack in the storage compartment to the left of the wheel winch. } It is essential that the jack is always carefully stowed after use in the storage space to the left of the wheel winch. If this safety precaution is not observed, this may cause injuries or material damage.
Emergency repairs } } } If the vehicle has been involved in a collision, the cab must under no circumstances be tilted without due precautions. The internal mechanism of the lifting cylinder may have been damaged to such an extent that the cylinder is no longer locked by the internal stop washer. In that case there is a danger of the cab no longer being held back and falling forward to the ground. Have your authorized Service dealer check the tilting mechanism. Make sure that there is no one in the cab.
Emergency repairs D0 00 623 The cab is tilted hydraulically using a hand pump. This pump is located at the co-driver's side, behind the cab. The pump has a cock which can be moved to two positions: position to tilt the cab forwards. position √ to tilt the cab backwards; this is also the driving position. Tilting forward - Apply the parking brake. - Put the gear lever in "neutral" position. - Close the doors.
Emergency repairs - Tilt the cab back by operating the pump with the jack rod. The last part of tilting-back is effected by the cab's own weight. When the catch engages, the cab is automatically locked. Leave the lever in position √. Push the gear lever in 1st gear to lock the gearbox control. Put the gear lever in neutral. Checking the cab locking When the cab is back in its normal position, the cab lock warning lamp in the master display should be extinguished.

Check all pulleys over which the poly-V-belt runs for dirt, rust and damage. 7. Fit a new poly-V-belt between the fan and wind tunnel collar. Place the poly-Vbelt over as many pulleys as possible. 8.
Emergency repairs } REPLACING THE FUEL FINE FILTER When removing the fuel fine filter, a quantity of fuel will escape. Collect the fuel and avoid the risk of fire. Dirt in the fuel system can lead to significant damage to the fuel system. Diesel fuel is toxic and can therefore have a damaging effect on your health. Any direct or indirect physical contact should therefore be avoided. In the event of contact with the skin: remove with paper or a cloth, wash with soap and water.
Emergency repairs D0 00 583 BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM Note: When the hand pump is used, the fuel system will be automatically bled. The hand pump is fitted against the back of the fuel tank on the water separator. Bleeding 1. Loosen the hand pump knob anti-clockwise. 2. Use the hand pump until a clearly higher resistance is felt. Note: Stop pumping as soon as the higher resistance is felt. If you continue pumping, the fuel system may become internally damaged. 3.
Emergency repairs } DRAINING THE WATER SEPARATOR B A D0 00 620 When draining the water separator, an amount of fuel will escape. Collect the fuel and avoid the risk of fire. Water in the fuel system may lead to significant damage. 1. Place a container beneath the water separator. 2. Remove the connector. 3. Unscrew the ring-shaped drain cock (B) on the bottom of the water separator in anti-clockwise direction. 4. Drain the filter until pure diesel fuel comes out of the drain cock (A). 5.

Turn the release bolt counter-clockwise as far as the stop using a ring spanner. This operation should be carried out for each spring brake cylinder. Bring the parking brake back in operating order as soon as possible by turning the bolts clockwise as far as possible and tightening them to a torque of 70 Nm (51.6 lb-ft).
Emergency repairs 3. Lower the spare wheel. Note: Always fit the wheel on the spare wheel bracket with the valve facing outwards. D0 00 626 JACKING UP THE FRONT AXLE When jacking up the front axle, the jack must be positioned under the jacking point near the shock absorber. } Always use stands to support the chassis when carrying out repairs or service under a vehicle which is resting on a jack.
Emergency repairs D0 00 719 JACKING UP THE REAR AXLE When jacking up the rear axle, the jack should always be positioned under the jacking point at the bottom of the spring bracket.
Emergency repairs } Always use stands to support the chassis when carrying out repairs or service under a vehicle which is resting on a jack. To prevent deformation of the axle housing, the jack must under no circumstances be located directly under the axle housing or the differential casing.
} Emergency repairs When removing a wheel with a cracked or damaged wheel rim, always deflate the tire (remove the tire valve) in view of possible tensions in the wheel rim. General - Only use the original tire wheel rims specified for the vehicle concerned. Make sure that tires of the same type are fitted on both sides of the axle. Insufficient cleaning of the mating surfaces and/or uneven tightening of the wheel nuts may cause vibrations during driving or braking.
Emergency repairs Installing the wheel D000495 1. Clean the fitting edge of the wheel hub by scraping off dirt and corrosion with a scraper. 2. Apply a thin layer of grease to the fitting edge of the wheel hub. D000496 3. Also apply a thin layer of grease to the fitting edge of the wheel rim. This grease layer should prevent the wheel rim and the wheel hub from becoming "rustbound".
Emergency repairs 4. Check whether the contact surfaces of the wheel rim and the drum brake are clean. Clean if necessary. D000520 5. Clean the wheel nuts and then apply a drop of oil between the thrust washer and the nut. 6. Also apply a drop of oil to the first turn of the wheel-stud screw threads. 6 1 1 8 3 9 1 6 3 6 7 4 4 10 7 2 5 5 4 3 5 8 2 2 D0 00 615 7. Fit the wheel nuts and tighten them evenly according to the sequence in the illustration.
Emergency repairs 9. Retorque the wheel nuts after 100 km (62 miles). If new wheel studs are fitted, they need additional retorquing after 500 km (31 miles). Note: When a wheel had to be replaced, have the wheel nuts torqued to the correct tightening torque by a dealer. TIRE INFLATING CONNECTION Next to the brake system air dryer to the left rear of the cab there is a tire inflating connection. 1. Remove the rubber protective cap from the tire inflating connection. 2. Connect the tire inflating hose. 3.
Emergency repairs D0 00 723 TOWING It is possible to install a towing eye behind the grille. Always use a towing bar when towing. Departure from this rule is only allowed in emergencies. When towing, the fault message "Engine management fault" may appear in the master display when the ignition is turned on. Note: The maximum permissible vehicle speed, weight and distance vary per country.
Emergency repairs Tractors may be fitted with a small towing hook at the rear end of the chassis. This towing hook must only be used for light shunting work. { } { Do not tow the vehicle when fully loaded or with a drawn vehicle attached. Being towed by another vehicle When the engine is not running, there is no power steering and no air is supplied to the braking system. If the service brake is applied or in the case of air leakage, the parking brake might be applied.
Emergency repairs - Always fix the tow rod with its original attachment pin (part of the vehicle tool kit) in the towing eyes. Turn the ignition key so that the steering wheel is released (unless the vehicle is in a hoist, see below). To prevent damage to the gearbox, the propeller shaft must always be disconnected from the differential. If there is insufficient pressure in the air reservoirs, release the parking brake.
