13.4 GEARBOX LOW-RANGE PROTECTION
ZF gearbox
Interchange the air line connections (A
and B) on the low range cylinder (2)
when the low range can no longer be
used as a result of a failure. Only the
lowest four gears are now available.
The integrated low-range protection
valve (1) is located on the top of the
gearbox.
Have a DAF Service dealer correct
the problem as soon as possible.
13.5 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. 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.
2. Turn the releasing bolt anti-clockwise as far as the stop using a ring spanner.
3. Carry out this operation for each spring brake cylinder.
4. Bring the park brake back in operating order by turning the releasing bolts 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.
