5.2.2 Switching the transmission to neutral position
You can switch the transmission to neutral position at any time.
• Shift to position N.
The neutral position is switched on when the entry N appears.
Switch the transmission to neutral position to start the engine. The engine
may only be started in this position.
G
Risk of accident when switching on while driving
If you switch the transmission to neutral position while driving, the drive
line will be interrupted. As a result you will no longer be able to accelerate
the truck crane, when trying to avoid an obstacle for example, and the
engine retarder will have no effect.
G
Risk of accident from rolling truck crane
Always apply the parking brake or the service brake before you switch to
the neutral position. This prevents the truck crane from rolling away unin-
tentionally.
S
Risk of damage to the transmission
When stationary for a longer period (e.g. in a traffic jam or at a train cross-
ing), always switch the gear to N.
This avoids excessive wear on the gear components.
