Checking tyre pressure

ADVICE
Your vehicle can be equipped with var­ious tyre sizes For the proper pres­sure and load capacity for your tyres, see the Technical Data section under "Tyres".
1. Check the tyre pressure (1) on all four tyres All tyres must have the same pressure.
2. Maintain the specified air pressure for fast travel on roads.
3. Do not exceed the load capacity of the tyres.
The rolling resistance is increased by insuf­ficient pressure. This increases the fuel con­sumption and tyre wear increases; driving be­haviour is worsened
Excessively high-pressure impairs driving be­haviour. Tyre wear increases and reduces dri­ving comfort
DANGER Danger of explosion, danger of ac-
cident
Avoid excessively high air pressure in the tyres.
Do not use damaged or worn tyres
Immediately replace damaged tyres
Only install 4 wheels of the same type

Operation

Before driving

Observe the regulations of the traffic laws when driving on public roadways.
WARNING Danger of accident
Only drive the vehicle from the drivers seat with cab doors closed
Do not transport people in the vehicle without suitable seating equipment
Always adapt driving speed to road conditions and the loading situation of the vehicle
Before starting, check whether there are persons in the vicinity
Drive slowly with heavy imple­ments, trailers and ballast, and take the increased braking dis­tance into account
When driving in curves with trail­ing or mounted equipment, take
the wide overhang and the inertial effect into account
Before driving, cover parts that may be hazardous to traffic or identify them with warning sym­bols.
Disengage the differential lock when driving in curves
Turn uphill on slopes
Improve traction in steep terrain by engaging the differential lock
Observe the instructions "Driving on slopes"
Translation of Original Operating Manual 156319-04 97
Page 98
Operation C250 ... C370

Driving on slopes

DANGER Danger of accident
Driving on a slope is dangerous because the vehicle can tip over if the centre of gravity exceeds the tipping limit
Use the vehicle only if slipping, crashing or falling over is out of the question
The following factors reduce the risk: – proper loading – low centre of gravity – low driving speed – no climbing – proper tyre pressure depending on the load – large track width
ADVICE
The driving comfort and traction of the vehicle can be increased by reducing the tyre pressure.
We recommend the type of driving described in the figure for turning on a slope.

Instructions for driving

ADVICE
After the engine has started, the di­rection switch must be actuated once if it was in the forward or reverse po­sition during start-up. This prevents inadvertent movement while starting the engine.
You can also switch to the new direction of travel when driving at reduced speed.
CAUTION Danger of accident
The vehicle brakes sharply in that case and again accelerates in the opposite direction of travel.
CAUTION Danger of accident
If the inch pedal is pressed completely down, the vehicle brakes very sharply.
