ALLISON MD 3060 AUTOMATIC GEARBOX

Gearbox oil temperature
If when driving the gearbox warning lamp lights
up in the main display, this may mean that the
gearbox oil has reached the maximum
temperature of 121″C.
In this situation, the ECU limits gearbox shifting to
the first four gears.
It is important to drive to a safe place as soon as
possible and let the engine idle in neutral at an
increased idling speed.
As a result, the cooling system of the engine will
try to cool the gearbox oil.
If after approximately two minutes the warning in
the master display has not disappeared, the
engine must be turned off and contact made with
the nearest DAF dealer.
Use of the engine brake
When the engine brake is operated in third or a
higher gear, the ECU will change down to second
gear as soon as the engine speed permits so as
to get the maximum braking effect from the
engine brake.
On the selector display, the second gear selected
by the ECU is displayed.
Towing the vehicle
To tow the vehicle, the prop shaft must be
detached at the rear axle.
It is also possible to remove the axle shafts. As oil
can be lost in this process, it must be avoided as
much as possible owing to environmental
concerns.
Towing the vehicle without taking
the above into consideration may
lead to serious damage to the
gearbox.
