The components may have threaded connections
that have been treated with lubricant (dipped
threaded connection). Galvanised bolts and nuts
are wax dipped in the factory. Black annealed
and phosphatised bolts and nuts are oil dipped.
The advantage of using dipped nuts and bolts is
that friction during tightening is reduced, so that
the specified pre-tension force can be accurately
obtained. The tightening torque can be reduced
while the pre-tension force remains the same.
To achieve a small spread in the pre-tension
force, the dipped threaded connection must be
tightened accurately.
Therefore, always use a reliable torque wrench
that provides a high degree of accuracy.
Note:
Have torque wrenches regularly inspected and
calibrated.
Threaded connections

Re-use of fasteners (bolt/nut/threaded end)
1.Clean the thread (take particular care to
remove locking compound residues) and the
clamping faces
2.Check the thread for damage.
To do so, manually screw a new nut/bolt onto
the thread to be checked.
If the new nut/bolt cannot be fully handscrewed onto the entire thread of the
fastener to be checked, the fastener is not
allowed to be re-used.
3.Apply one drop of engine oil to the upper turn
of the bolt (threaded end)/lower turn of the
nut and one drop to the clamping faces
(other lubricants are not allowed).
4.If a locking compound has been specified, oil
should not be applied to the thread.
The following applies to all threaded
connections (for both new and used
vehicles):
-in the case of standard connections, apply
the lubricant before fitting, and (re)tighten in
accordance with the standard for dipped
bolts;
-in the case of special connections, apply the
lubricant before fitting, and (re)tighten in
accordance with the values specified in the
instructions.
The instructions for using lubricants also apply to
new bolts from the warehouse. Dry threaded
connections may not be used because of their
highly variable friction coefficients.
Please consult the workshop manual
for the specified tightening torque.

Comply with all the warnings and safety
precautions given in this maintenance manual.
First read the instructions and warnings on the
labels and stickers that are affixed to various
components on the vehicle and follow them. They
are provided for your safety and health, so do not
ignore them.
Wear clean, fitted clothes and apply protective
cream to unprotected parts of your body, if
necessary.
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or
unventilated area. In other words, make sure that
the exhaust gases are effectively extracted.
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or
moving components.
Never remove the filler cap from the cooling
system when the engine is at operating
temperature.
Safety instructions
5
Be careful when changing the oil. Hot oil may
cause serious injuries.
Various oils and lubricants used on the vehicle
may constitute a health hazard.
Avoid unnecessary contact with drained oil.
Frequent contact damages the skin.
This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen
washer fluid, refrigerant in air conditioning
systems, battery acid and diesel fuel.
So avoid inhalation and direct contact.
When carrying out operations under the cab,
make sure the cab is fully tilted.
To avoid a fire hazard, the engine, the exhaust
system and their surroundings must be kept free
of flammable fluids and material such as dead
leaves and dirt.
Where there is an engine encapsulation, if
necessary, the encapsulation panels must be
thoroughly cleaned after each inspection interval
because of the risk of fire if the inside of the
panels is dirty.
Always disconnect the earth connection of the
battery before working on the vehicle.
Always use stands to support the chassis or
components when working under the vehicle.
Always charge batteries in a properly ventilated
area and avoid creating sparks and naked
flames.
Fast charging should only be used in an
emergency. When fast-charging, the battery
positive and negative leads (+ and -) must be
disconnected.
This maintenance manual describes all relevant
maintenance activities. It also contains safety
instructions, which must be strictly adhered to.
Activities not described in this manual, e.g.
replacing components, overhaul, fault-finding,
etc., are described in the DAF workshop
instructions.
This maintenance manual assumes that the
mechanic is sufficiently experienced and has had
the required instruction or training to carry out
these maintenance activities in a safe and
responsible manner.
The technical data and notes on the maintenance
activities have been compiled with the utmost
care.
The technical information in this maintenance
manual, such as notes on maintenance activities
and technical data required to carry out the
maintenance activities in a safe manner, were upto-date at the time this manual went to press.
DAF reserves the right to make changes without
prior notice.
Note:
Important changes relating to technical
information that is not contained in this manual
will be made available in TI sheets (Technical
Information Sheet).
2.3WARNING SYMBOL
When text is accompanied by the warning symbol
shown here, the information provided is essential
for the health and safety of the mechanic.
This warning symbol is also shown if there are
circumstances in which there is a vehicle safety
hazard or damage to the vehicle could arise.
By carrying out the maintenance activities in a
professional manner, on time and at regular
intervals, you will help to reduce the impact on the
environment.
This means, for example, noticing and remedying
possible leakages in time and keeping the engine
in an optimum condition (adjusting valves,
replacing air filter element etc.), thus reducing the
emission of harmful exhaust gasses.
It should be noted that oils and fluids contain
harmful substances that have a negative impact
on the environment.
That is why you should take care that drained oils
and fluids and also discarded oil and fuel filters,
are collected in separate receptacles or
containers.
In short: maintenance activities must be
carried out in an environmentally aware
manner.
General
5
2.5PARTS
All DAF parts and components have been
carefully attuned to each other, a decisive factor
in ensuring the original DAF quality.
It is only logical, therefore, that the original DAF
quality can be maintained best if original DAF
parts and components are used when replacing
parts or components.
As far as maintenance activities are concerned,
this includes components such as windscreenwiper blades, air-dryer elements, gaskets, V-belts
and filters.
For example, if "non-original DAF filters" are
used, the engine will be insufficiently protected
against fine microscopic airborne dust particles,
almost imperceptible metal swarf in the oil and
dirt in the fuel, resulting in:
-premature replacing of cylinders, pistons,
bearings, valves, injector pump and other
moving parts
-reduced engine performance
-increased fuel consumption
Therefore, always use original DAF parts and
components.
-When carrying out maintenance activities on
the vehicle, it is important that the work is
performed under the cleanest possible
conditions.
Filler caps, lubricating points, filler and drain
plugs should be cleaned before and after
maintenance activities.
-When excessive leakage has been detected
at oil seals and/or components, or in case of
excessive drops in the oil level, a report
should be made and the cause should be
remedied.
-It is important to check the gearbox
breathers, transfer box, rear axle and driven
front axle regularly for fouling and blockages.
If the breathers are blocked by dirt,
overpressure may cause leaks.
-Depending on the circumstances in which
the vehicle is used, e.g. on very bad roads or
construction sites, important bolt
connections such as the fifth wheel, spring
suspension, U-bolts, trailer coupling,
steering box attachment, superstructure
attachments etc. should be inspected more
often and, if necessary, be retightened.
ΧΦ85 series
-It is important that a visual inspection and
test run are carried out following the
maintenance activities.
Particular attention should be paid to
components directly related to driving safety.
-Once a service has been completed new
information on the next service (mileage/
date) can be entered on the instrument panel
display using DAVIE XD via the VIC.
Avoid sparks and open flames in the
vicinity of batteries.

When the coolant is hot, there is an
overpressure in the cooling system.
}
Carefully remove the filler cap to
release the overpressure.
Do not remove the filler cap when the
engine is running.
Coolant is a toxic fluid. Contact with
the skin should therefore be
avoided.
In the event of contact with the skin:
remove with paper or a cloth, wash
with soap and water. If irritation
persists, consult a doctor.
If swallowed: DO NOT induce
vomiting. Rinse mouth, drink two
glasses of water and consult a
doctor.
In the event of inhalation: get some
fresh air and rest.
In order to avoid damaging the
cylinder block, do not top up a warm
engine with coolant.
ΧΦ85 series
1.Check the anti-freeze content of the coolant.
Fill the cooling system with anti-freeze, if this
has not been done yet. Always use only
coolants that meet DAF specifications.
2.Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for
the correct anti-freeze mixing ratio.
Preferably, use 40% anti-freeze on an
ethylene glycol base. At this percentage, not
only good frost protection, but also good
corrosion protection is guaranteed.
3.17 CHECKING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ATTACHMENT ON STEERING BOX
INPUT SHAFT
1.Check the universal joint for perceptible play.
If perceptible play is detected, the affected
part must be replaced.
2.Check whether there is any perceptible play
between the spline connection of the
universal joint and the steering box input
shaft. If perceptible play is detected, the
splines on the universal joint and those on
the input shaft must be checked for wear. If
wear is detected, the affected part must be
replaced.
3.If there is perceptible play but the parts are
not worn, the attachment bolt and nut must
be replaced. Tighten the attachment bolt and
nut to the specified torque, see "Technical
data".
1.Check the axial steering-ball joint play using
special tool (DAF no. 1329426)
2.First jack up the axle until the wheels come
off the ground and put the axle on stands.
3.Make sure that the castle nut split pin (if
fitted) at the nut does not come into contact
with the head of the threaded end.
4.Screw the thrust washer (8) on to the
threaded spindle.
5.Fit the spring retainer (3), spring (4) and
pressure sleeve (6) into bracket (1). Fit the
locking screw (5). It should be possible to
move the pressure sleeve (6) freely.
Note:
Fit the correct pressure sleeve (6).
The pressure sleeve (6) must abut the outer
edge of the steering ball joint (7).
6.Loosen thrust bolt (2) until the pressure
sleeve (6) with the flange abuts the bracket
(A = 0 mm).
7.Fit the special tool over the steering ball joint
(7) and turn the threaded spindle (9) by hand
until the special tool is tight around the
steering ball joint (7).

Note:
If excessive values are measured, the inside of
the air-dryer housing and the silencer on the vent
should first be cleaned. Then repeat the
inspection.
1.Bring the engine up to operating
temperature.
2.Bleed the system to a pressure below the
cut-in pressure of the pressure regulator.
3.Remove compressor control line (1) which is
hooked up to connection point 23 of the air
dryer. Then seal the opening at connection
point 23.

4.Build up pressure in the brake system
(pressure regulator must cut out).
5.When the engine is not running, remove the
safety valve from the compressor line and
replace it with a test nipple.
6.Connect a pressure gauge (measuring range
0-16 bar) to the test nipple.
8.The pressure gauge should indicate a
pressure below 2 bar with the pressure regulator switched off. If the measured
pressure exceeds the value indicated, the
compressor line should be cleaned or
replaced.
Note:
If the pressure measured is too high, there is
excessive carbon deposit in the compressor
line. This may be due to the poor condition of
the compressor (oil consumption).
9.Run the engine at idling speed.
10. Bleed the brake system until the cut-in
pressure of the pressure regulator has been
reached and switch off the engine. The
needle of the pressure gauge may not drop
too quickly now. If necessary, check the
system for air leakage. Pay particular
attention to the compressor line and
compressor.

3.23 CHECKING THE BRAKE COMPONENTS AND BRAKE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
1.While operating the service brake, check
whether any leaks occur in the brake system.
If the brake system of a vehicle has been
charged to the maximum pressure, it should
generally be possible to drive the vehicle
after a period of 16 hours of uninterrupted
standstill, without having to first charge the
brake system to adequate operating
pressure. This implies a maximum pressure
drop of approx. 0.4 bar per hour at normal
system pressure.
Note:
Always connect auxiliary consumers and
accessories to circuit 4.
2.Measure the position when the brakes are
applied, L2 (minimum brake system
pressure 6 bar).
3.Calculate the brake stroke L3 = L2 - L1, see
"Technical data". If the brake stroke differs
from the specified value, take the following
action:
4.Check whether the control plate (1) is locked
in respect of the fixed bracket.

(until the internal stop is felt) in the direction
in which the brake adjuster is moved during
braking.
6.Fix the control plate in this position using the
attachment nut on the fixed bracket.
7.Check the internal slip using a torque
wrench.

1.Make certain that there is sufficient pressure
in the reservoirs (6.5 bar minimum).
2.Release the parking brake.
3.Fit a torque wrench on the hexagonal
adjusting bolt and turn this counterclockwise. For the permitted value, see
"Technical data".
If the specified reverse torque is not
reached, but the worm shaft already turns at
a lower value, the brake adjuster should be
replaced.
3.27 CHECKING THE BRAKE SHOE THICKNESS AND BRAKE DISC
Version: Knorr SB 7000
1.Check whether guide bush (4) protrudes
from guide sleeve (6) (C).
If the guide bush (4) is level with the guide
sleeve (6) (see detail A) the brake shoe and
brake disc thicknesses should be checked.
1.Check the transition between the ribbed part
of the rubber cover and the smooth part (A).
If the smooth part is rolled inwards, the brake
shoe and brake disc thicknesses must be
checked.
3.28 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING LOAD-SENSING AIR-SUSPENSION
CONTROL VALVE
Explanatory notes on instruction plate
This plate is mounted on the rear door pillar on
the left-hand side of the vehicle. The information
on the instruction plate relates to the axle loads,
the delivery pressures and bellows pressures,
following the sequence of the axles beneath the
vehicle.
Therefore, "1" refers to the (first) front axle, "2" to
the next following axle, etc.
If the vehicle is fitted with a relay valve in the front
axle brake circuit, the box beneath the valve
illustration will be blank. Throughout the column,
a value of 8.1 bar has been filled in for "delivery
pressure p2" under axle "1".
If the vehicle is equipped with a control valve
instead of the relay valve mentioned, the box will
contain a pressure ratio, e.g."i = 1 : 1.5". The
"delivery pressure p2" of axle "1" then indicates
variable readings.
These values can be used to check the brake
pressure values of the front axle and to carry out
the inspection/adjustment below at the same
time. To do this, connect a pressure gauge to the
test connection of one of the front axle brake
cylinders.

Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can
therefore have a damaging effect on
}
your health.
Hence avoid any direct or indirect
physical contact.
As hydraulic fluid is also a corrosive
fluid, it may damage the paintwork of
the vehicle.
Avoid any contact between
hydraulic fluid and paintwork.
Always use new and clean hydraulic
fluid which has been kept in a sealed
container and meets the
specifications.
Hydraulic fluid which has absorbed
water (from the ambient air) may
have an adverse effect on the
operation of the clutch system.
Avoid any contact with mineral oil.
Even one drop of mineral oil in the
system will damage the seals.

2.Mark (C) applies to fully tilted cabs.
3.Hand tighten the reservoir sealing cap.
Note:
There is an air bleed vent in the cap that may
be closed if the cap is tightened with too
great a force.
If the air bleed vent is closed off, residual
pressure will build up in the system.
3.39 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, CLUTCH WEAR INDICATOR
Checking the clutch wear indicator
1.Visually check that the lock nut (12) makes
contact with the housing. If the lock nut (12)
no longer makes contact with the housing,
the clutch plate is approximately 80% worn.
Note:
It is not permissible to remove the circlip, or
to move the circlip over the pin. This is to
prevent inaccurate indication.
Adjusting the clutch wear indicator
1.Press the circlip (12) against the clutch

3.42 INSPECTION OF OIL LUBRICATED WHEEL HUBS FOR LEAKS
1.Check the wheel hubs for leaks.
Note:
If leaks occur in the oil lubricated wheel hubs,
the wheel hub should be refilled to the
correct level - once the leak has been
repaired, see chapter: "Draining and filling".
3.43 CHECKING THE GREASED WHEEL HUBS FOR LEAKS
1.Check the wheel hubs for leaks.
Note:
If there are serious grease marks on the brake
disc side of the wheel hub, this could indicate
excessive use of assembly grease on new or
recently assembled wheel hubs.
On wheel hubs that have not been assembled
recently, serious grease marks could indicate a
leak in the seal (1). This means that the entire hub
unit must be replaced.
Serious oil leakage on the driven rear axle hubs
could indicate that the O-ring (2) is not sealing
correctly.
If there is an oil leak the hub unit should be
dismantled to remedy the problem.
