Hints
In a number of countries a safety inspection (Sicherheitsprüfung = SP) is prescribed by law for
vehicles with more than 8 passenger seats or a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 7.5 t.
Attention:
On vehicles not subject to the safety inspection (SP), the work detailed in Chapter III. Servicing
work,.para.s 3.5...3.10, has to be carried out in addition.
Following a test drive and a subsequent visual inspection of the complete steering system (steer-
ing column, bevel box, steering gear, drag links, pump, and hydraulic lines) we recommend to
carry out the following work.
Within the scope of maintenance the proper functioning of the steering system is checked by a
test drive and a visual inspection.
During an inspection, safety-critical characteristics are tested.
