1.2 MAIN SWITCH

If the vehicle is equipped with a main switch, it is
either mechanically or electronically operated,
depending on the vehicle version.
The switch can be used to interrupt the power
supply from the batteries to the vehicle (except
for the tachograph).

Electronic main switch

The electronic main switch does not switch off at
once when it is operated; this happens with a 10­second delay. This is to allow the after-running of
various electrical systems on the vehicle.

The electronic main switch (usually located close
to the battery pack).

If the vehicle is equipped with an electronic main
switch, there is also a switch on the centre
console in the cabin.

AdBlue

AdBlue is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colourless,
odourless and water-soluble liquid.
AdBlue is a liquid consisting of 32.5% urea and

67.5% water.

AdBlue must meet the specifications according to
DIN 70070.

High temperatures

If AdBlue is heated in the tank to 50°C over a long
period of time, the decomposing AdBlue can
produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia vapours
have a pungent odour. For this reason, avoid
inhaling possible ammonia vapours escaping
when unscrewing the AdBlue filler cap. These
concentrations of ammonia vapours are neither
toxic nor hazardous to health.

Low temperatures

AdBlue freezes at temperatures of approximately

-11°C.

i403182

WARNING!

AdBlue safety instructions

- Avoid direct contact.

- In the event of contact with the
skin, rinse with plenty of water.

- In the event of contact with the
eyes, rinse for at least 15
minutes with plenty of water and
seek medical assistance.

- If swallowed, rinse mouth with
plenty of water; do not induce
vomiting.

- Use in a ventilated area.

Procedure after spillage

- Rinse with plenty of water.

1.6 REGENERATION UNIT

During regeneration the exhaust gases, the
surroundings of the regeneration unit and the
catwalk can reach high temperatures that can
potentially harm bystanders or the surrounding
area.

WARNING! There is a risk of fire or
other hazardous situation if the
temperature can ignite flammable
materials.

Switch off the regeneration unit

Set the switch in the OFF position to stop or
inhibit regeneration.

2.2 AIR SUSPENSION CHASSIS

General

On vehicles equipped with air suspension, a
remote control unit is used to operate the vehicle
height.
The remote control unit is located against the
console of the driver's seat.

NOTE: This control unit can only be
operated when the ignition is switched
on.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise, the
keys need only be pressed once briefly.

2.3 CABIN SUSPENSION

The cabin can be equipped with full mechanical
or full air suspension.

Lowering the air suspension

If the vehicle is equipped with cabin air
suspension, the cabin can be lowered.
The cabin is lowered by cutting the air hoses.

WARNING! When air hoses are cut,
the hose ends can fly around and
can therefore cause injuries.

WARNING! When the air hoses for
the cabin suspension are cut, the air
supply for steering wheel
adjustment is also taken away.

WARNING! When the cabin is
lowered, the movement may be
uncontrolled.

Rear cabin air suspension

Cut the air hose to the rear cabin air suspension
bellows. The connections are at the bottom of the
bellows.

3.2 CABIN BRACKET COLLISION ABILITY

The cabin bracket has a built-in safety feature
that enables the cabin to move back 400 mm in
case of a collision. Depending on the severity of
the collision there are two situations.

- The safety feature is used. This means that
the cabin has moved compared to the
chassis with a maximum distance of 400
mm. The cabin is still attached to the chassis.

- The safety feature is used fully before the
collision stopped. As a result the bolt of the
cabin bracket breaks. If this has happened
the cabin is loose from the chassis.

4.2 RELEASING THE PARKING 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.

NOTE: Place a no brakes warning
label on the steering wheel.

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.
