Towing information
6.1 REMOVING THE PROP SHAFT
– Make sure that the park brake is engaged.
– Loosen the prop shaft bolts at the rear axle side, do not remove them.
NOTE: If by accident the prop shaft drops to the floor during towing it is
dragged a long. In the other situation dropping of the prop shaft seriously
damages both vehicle, road and possibly surroundings.
– Hold the shaft while removing the bolts.
– Fasten the shaft to the chassis.
– Cover the prop shaft joint with a plastic bag.
6.2 RELEASING THE PARK BRAKE
WARNING!
– Never release the park
brake on an incline
without precautionary
measures.
Releasing the park brake
on an incline causes the
vehicle to move
unintentionally. This can
lead to serious injury and
damage to the vehicle.
1. Make sure the driveline is in 'N' neutral.
2. Place wheel chocks in front of and behind the wheels.
NOTE: It is not permitted to use a socket wrench to loosen the releasing
bolt.
3. Turn the releasing bolt (see the arrows) anti-clockwise as far as the stop using a
ring spanner.
4. Carry out this operation for each spring brake cylinder.
NOTE: Place a no brakes warning label on the steering wheel.
5. Bring the park brake back in operating order by turning the releasing bolts (1 and 2)
clockwise as far as possible and tightening them to a torque of 45 Nm (75 Nm for
the releasing bolt with control pin). The pressure in the spring brake cylinder circuit
must be at least 6.5 bar.
