Warnings and safety regulations
Air leakage
If the pressure in the air reservoirs drops rapidly with the engine switched off, this
indicates a leak. Since this affects the safety of the brake system, trace and repair the
leak as quickly as possible.
Steering
The steering gear is hydraulically assisted. As excessive pressure may damage the
hydraulic pump, stop turning the steering wheel when the wheels are at full lock or are
blocked by an obstacle. If this is ignored, the steering gear may be damaged.
Differential
The differential can be equipped with a differential lock. This differential lock may only
be used when driving on soft ground or on a slippery road surface.
CAUTION:
– When excessive wheel slip is detected, observe the directions for
use and engage the differential lock.
Excessive wheel speed difference between the wheels on an axle
when driving on soft ground or on a slippery road surface can lead
to serious damage of the differential.
CAUTION:
– Never press the accelerator when the vehicle rolls off in the
opposite direction to that of the engaged gear.
If the vehicle rolls off in the opposite direction to that of the
engaged gear, the differential may be overloaded or damaged when
the accelerator is pressed.
Mobile telephones and transmitters
WARNING!
– Do not use mobile telephones or transmitters in the cabin without
a separate outside aerial.
The use of mobile telephones or transmitters in the cabin interior
may cause excessively high electromagnetic fields (resonance
effect). This may interfere with the operation of the vehicle
electronics and result in dangerous situations and injury.
If mobile telephones and transmission equipment are used, take the following points
into account:
– Do not use mobile telephones or transmitters in the vehicle when there is no
separate outside aerial!
– Moreover, an outside aerial is necessary to achieve the maximum range of the
equipment.
