10 Instructions on Design, Operation, Maintenance and Inspection
3 Inspection
Attention:
The inspection intervals depend on how the vehicle is used.
Therefore, the table below distinguishes between different kinds of use which may, though, be
overlapping.
For the sake of increased traffic safety, we recommend to inspect the steering system in accor-
dance with the inspection intervals listed below.
Minor variations in inspection intervals are permissible if it is desirable to adjust these intervals
to the vehicle-specific inspection intervals.
Note:
The work listed below also includes work that has to be carried out within the scope of the safety
inspection (SP).
Such work is marked “(part of SP)”. Therefore, inspection steps bearing this mark can be omitted
when vehicles subject to safety inspection (SP) are checked within the scope of the normal inspec-
tion.
In addition, the safety inspection (SP) rules applying in the country of registration of the vehicle
being inspected have to be complied with.

Additionally, at the time of the IIIrd inspection, the mechanical transmission elements of the ZF
Servocom steering gear have to be inspected.
To this effect, dismantle the steering gear and visually inspect and crack test all transmission
elements (see Repair Instructions).
