Warnings and safety regulations
Hazard warning triangle
Make sure that there is always a hazard warning triangle (obligatory in most countries)
in the vehicle, possibly in combination with other marking equipment.
If a breakdown occurs en route, wear reflective clothing when outside the vehicle
(obligatory in some countries).
Components
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or moving components.
During regeneration remain at a safe distance from the exhaust and do not stand on
the catwalk above the DPF as it can be extremely hot.
Tilting the cabin
WARNING!
– Make sure that there is no one in the cabin.
– Make sure that there is no one immediately in front of the cabin
during tilting and while tilted.
If there are people in or immediately in front of the cabin, the cabin
must under no circumstances be tilted. This can lead to serious injury.
If a cool box or refrigerator has been fitted in the cabin, switch it off and if necessary
unplug it before tilting (depending on the type).
Leave the cool box or refrigerator switched off for at least 30 minutes after the cabin
has been tilted back.
If a auxiliary heater has been fitted, switch it off before tilting.
Place wheel chocks in front of and behind the driven axle.
Make sure that all loose objects are removed from the cabin to prevent damage.
Tilt the cabin fully forwards; in this way it cannot fall back accidentally.
Following a collision, only tilt the cabin in an emergency situation.
The tilting mechanism may be damaged.
(The end stop of the lift cylinder may not work.)
Always use stands to support the chassis when working under a vehicle which rests on
a jack.
Lighting
To replace lighting bulbs, the following conditions must be met:
– The lights are switched off.
– The ignition is switched off.
– De-energise the lighting system by removing the fuses for the lights.
– Let the lighting unit cool down before touching it. Risk of personal injury!
After replacing a light, have the headlight setting checked by a DAF Service dealer at
the earliest opportunity.
