WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS SO IMPORTANT!
This handbook contains the information which you, the driver, need for optimum
efficiency, safety and comfort when operating this vehicle.
Besides giving instructions about operation and use, it also pays attention to
maintenance and minor repairs which you may be able to carry out yourself.
For more serious problems, DAF has its own service organisation in Europe:
International Truck Service (ITS). For drivers stranded abroad, the ITS switchboard in
Eindhoven (the Netherlands) is only a phone call away. It is manned 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, to provide assistance to limit the downtime of the vehicle to a
minimum.
To make use of the services of ITS (and to find out under which conditions ITS services
are available), please see the European Service Network directory.
NOTE: This handbook is based on the chassis with its fittings as it originally
left the DAF factory.
Depending upon the required body and equipment, the bodybuilder may have made
fundamental changes to various parts or systems.
The vehicles covered by this handbook consist of various types and models. Individual
vehicles are furthermore constructed in accordance with the legal regulations in the
country concerned and according to the expected operating conditions. Certain
descriptions or illustrations in this handbook may therefore not correspond fully to the
situation on the vehicle. However, this has practically no influence on its operation or
maintenance.
Repairs
Repairs or maintenance jobs must be carried out by an experienced, properly trained
mechanic. This mechanic is also qualified to perform the job in a responsible and safe
manner.
Important
Make sure that this handbook is in the vehicle at all times.
Read it carefully before the first journey, especially the 'Warnings and safety
regulations', 'Instruments and controls', 'Inspections and maintenance' and
'Driving' sections.
The operating manual for the tachograph must have been handed over to you when
this vehicle was delivered.
