WHY THIS HANDBOOK IS SO IMPORTANT!

This handbook contains the information which you, the driver, will need for optimum efficiency, safety and comfort when operating this vehicle. Besides giving instructions about operation and use, it also pays attention to maintenance and minor repairs which you may be able to carry out yourself.
Note:
This handbook is based on the chassis with its fittings as it originally left the factory. Depending upon the required body and equipment, the bodybuilder may have made
fundamental changes to various parts or systems, such as the instrument panel, the lighting or the electric wiring. The vehicles covered by this handbook consist of various types and models. Individual vehicles are furthermore constructed in accordance with the legal regulations in the country concerned and in accordance with the expected operating conditions. Certain descriptions or illustrations in this handbook may therefore not correspond entirely to the situation on your own vehicle. However, this has practically no influence on its operation or maintenance.
11
Important
Make sure this handbook is in the vehicle at all times. Read it carefully before making your first journey, especially the "Warnings and
safety precautions", "Cab, instruments and controls", "Inspections and maintenance" and "Driving" sections.

Warnings and Safety Regulations

WARNINGS AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
To prevent damage to the vehicle and in order not to jeopardise your health and/or safety, or that of other people, the following
}
First read the instructions and warnings on the labels and stickers on the various components and comply with them! They have been put there for your health and safety, so do not ignore them!
Modifications to the vehicle
Modifications to the vehicle or the vehicle configuration may require the reprogramming of electronic units by an approved an authorized dealer.
Engine
Do not run the engine in an enclosed or unventilated area. Make sure exhaust gases are properly extracted.
Components
Remain at a safe distance from rotating and/or moving components.
Cooling system filler cap
Do not remove the filler cap of the cooling system when the engine is at operating temperature. Do not loosen the filler cap of the cooling system when the cab is tilted.
warning and safety regulations must be strictly observed.
16
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Warning triangle
Ensure that you are always in possession of a hazard warning triangle (obligatory in certain countries), possibly in combination with other marking equipment.
In the event of a breakdown en route, wear reflective clothing when outside the vehicle.
Fire extinguisher
Ensure that you are always in possession of a fire extinguisher (obligatory in certain countries). It should be well secured under the seat, within the driver's reach and easily accessible, also for rescue workers and others providing assistance. Have the fire extinguisher checked for operational readiness each year. If it has been used, have it refilled at the earliest opportunity.
In the event of fire:
In the event of a fire, certain plastic seals can produce gases which together with water form a corrosive acid. Therefore do not touch any fire extinguisher fluid on the vehicle without protective gloves.
Cab
Make sure there are no loose objects on the floor on the driver's side. Bottles, cans etc. may get stuck under the brake pedal while driving, giving rise to extremely dangerous situations.
While driving, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest since this may cause excessive wear of the clutch.
First aid kit
Ensure that you are always in possession of a first aid kit (obligatory in certain countries). Replace first aid items as soon as possible after use to make the kit complete again.
17
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Winter conditions
When winter driving conditions are expected (especially if the vehicle is operated in mountainous areas), make sure that your vehicle is fitted with winter tires or that you have snow chains with you. Also refer to "Maintenance operations before the winter season" in "Inspections and maintenance".
Load
The load should always be properly secured so that it cannot move, not even during an emergency stop. Remember that sidewalls, partitions, etc. are often not designed to withstand high forces. Loads must not project more than is permitted by local regulations. Bear in mind that the stability of the vehicle may be impaired by the load and that you may also need a larger turning circle. Make sure when loading that the following values are not exceeded:
- maximum permissible gross combination weight (GCW)
- maximum permissible gross vehicle weight (GVW)
- maximum permissible axle load
Oils and lubricants
Various kinds of oil and other lubricants used on the vehicle may constitute a health hazard if they come into contact with the skin. This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen washer fluid, refrigerant in air conditioning systems, battery acid and diesel fuel. So avoid direct contact as much as possible.
18
The engine and the surrounding area must be free of inflammable materials to avoid the risk of fire.
Exercise caution when changing hot oil; it can cause serious bodily injury.
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Maintenance activities
When carrying out maintenance work under the cab, make sure the cab is fully tilted and locked to prevent it from falling back accidentally.
If a cooler box/refrigerator has been fitted, it should be switched off and if necessary unplugged before tilting (depending on the type). The cooler box/refrigerator should remain switched off at least 30 minutes after the cab has been tilted back.
Following a collision, only tilt the cab in an emergency situation. The tilting mechanism may be damaged. (The end stop may no longer be on the lifting cylinder.)
Always use stands to support the chassis when carrying out work under a vehicle which is resting on a jack.
19
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Maintenance of air conditioning system
The air conditioning system contains coolant under high pressure. Removal of any parts of the air conditioning system is not permitted. Work on the air conditioning system may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
If the air conditioning fails to work, it must be repaired by a dealer as soon as possible, to avoid further damage to the system.
Environment
Pollution constitutes a serious threat to the environment. To keep pollution to a minimum, the following rules should be observed:
- Do not dump used oil, fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluid or coolants in drains, sewers, in landfills or on the ground. This is illegal. These fluids should be returned to the designated authority or appropriate chemical waste collection company for recycling or destruction. All used fluids should be stored separately.
- Make sure that the vehicle is serviced regularly according to the instructions and recommendations. A properly serviced vehicle helps to optimise fuel economy and reduce the level of harmful constituents in the exhaust gases.

Warnings and Safety Regulations

TECHNICAL ITEMS OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE

To prevent damage to the vehicle, the following instructions must be strictly observed.
Running-in
During the running-in period it is best not to subject the new vehicle to excessive loads. This also applies when an overhauled engine, gearbox or differential has been installed. Therefore, for the first 1,500 km (932 miles): drive carefully and avoid accelerating sharply.
The following technical items of special importance apply to both the running­in period and to the period thereafter.
After a cold start continue to drive in a low gear and at a moderate engine speed
until the engine coolant temperature is out of the blue zone. While driving, check the instrument panel regularly and take appropriate action if
you notice anything unusual, such as strange engine and transmission noises, smoke, or poor performance. Do not let the engine idle for longer than necessary.. This is harmful to the engine and also causes unnecessary pollution of the environment.
Be aware that engine stalling while driving will lead to power steering failure. Consequently, the vehicle will be more difficult to steer.
Before switching off the engine after a long trip or when the engine has been subjected to high loading, let it idle for at least 5 minutes. It is important to let the engine run for a while in order to prevent the coolant temperature becoming too high and to allow the turbocharger to cool down.
The engine cooling system is thermostatically controlled.
21
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Removing the thermostat when the coolant temperature is (too) high serves no useful purpose and is strongly advised against, since this will only cause the engine temperature to rise to an even higher level.
The turbocharger is a precision component. You should therefore immediately report any abnormal noise that seems to be coming from this component.
Air leakage
If the pressure in the ai r reser voirs drops rapidly with the engine switched off, this indicates a leak. Since this affects the safety of the brake system, the leak must be traced and repaired as quickly as possible.
System voltage
The vehicle is equipped with a 24-Volt electrical system. When replacing or fitting electrical or electronic components, always verify that they are suitable for this system voltage.
Batteries
Never disconnect the battery leads while the engine is running!
}
Always charge batteries in a properly ventilated area and avoid sparking and naked flames due to the danger of explosion.
}
22
Always disconnect the battery earth lead before carrying out repairs or service on the electrical system. Never place tools on a battery. This may cause a short circuit and may even cause the battery to explode.
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Charging
Thaw out frozen batteries before charging them. Remove all the filler caps before charging.
}
Connect the positive lead (+) of the battery charger to the positive terminal (+) of the battery first and then the negative lead (–) to the negative terminal (–). After charging, switch off the battery charger and then disconnect the negative terminal (–) and subsequently the positive terminal (+). For normal charging, the battery leads may remain in place. Fast charging should only be used in an emergency. For "fast charging" both battery leads must be disconnected, otherwise the electronics may become defective.
Battery capacity
Using electrical components, such as the cab heater or refrigerator when the engine is not running, power will be drawn from the batteries. Approximately half the battery capacity is required to start the engine.
If this is the case over a protracted period, particularly during low temperatures, the result may be that the electrics have used so much power that there is not enough to start the engine.
If the larger consumers, such as the cab heater, refrigerator, coffee percolator, microwave oven or tail-lift are used, it is recommended that you obtain batteries of a higher capacity in consultation with your dealer.
23
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Welding
For welding on the vehicle and/or superstructure, see the "Workshop manual" and "Bodybuilders Guidelines". Not following the welding instructions can cause damage to the electronic components.
Starting with auxiliary batteries
The engine may be started with the aid of jump leads using the power from separate auxiliary batteries (approx. 24 V) or from another vehicle with the engine running (approx. 28 V). When this starting procedure is followed, the battery leads must not be disconnected. Connect the jump leads first to the positive terminal (+) and then to the negative terminal (–). To disconnect, first release the negative terminal (–) and then the positive terminal (+). In the event that the batteries are fully discharged and the engine is running, it is important that the jump leads are not immediately disconnected. The engine must be allowed to run for at least 2 to 3 minutes before the jump leads are disconnected to prevent damage to the electrical system (peak voltage!).
Proceed as follows as soon as the engine starts running:
- switch on as many power consumers as possible (for example: headlights, fog lamps, heater fan, etc.);
- remove the jump leads after the engine has run for 2 to 3 minutes;
- switch off the consumers again.
Never start the engine using a fast charger!
24
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Mobile telephones and transmitters
If mobile telephones and transmitting equipment are used, the following points must be taken into account:
- Mobile telephones or transmitters must not be used in the vehicle without a
separate outside aerial!
The use of mobile telephones or transmitters without a separate outside aerial may cause excessively high electromagnetic fields in
}
- Moreover, an outside aerial is necessary in order to achieve the maximum range
Note:
It is important to observe the instructions for use of mobile telephones and transmitters!
Original components
In order to meet the warranty conditions and guarantee the service life, safety and reliability, the use of non original components, sensors and engine management units/software is not permitted. The application of engine management software that has not been approved will adversely affect critical systems in terms of the safety of the vehicle, the braking system for instance.
the cab interior (resonance effect). In this case, there may be interference to the operation of the vehicle electronics.
of the equipment.

take place at the position indicated and according to the procedure specified by.
26
Warnings and Safety Regulations
- When replacing the windscreen, observe a longer drying time for the
windscreen sealant. This longer drying time is usually stated on the win dscreen sealant packing/tube. If in doubt, contact an authorized dealer or the windscreen sealant supplier.
- If any welding is required, observe safety precautions for welding jobs.
Operation
- The airbag and seat belt tensioners are activated in the event of a (nearly) head-
on collision when a specific vehicle deceleration is exceeded. The airbag and seat belt tensioners will not be activated when:
- the ignition is switched off.
- the vehicle is involved in a minor head-on collision.
- the vehicle is involved in a lateral collision.
- the vehicle is involved in a tail collision.
- the vehicle overturns.
- The system only provides optimal protection when the seat belt is correctly worn
and the seat, seat belt and steering wheel are well adjusted to the driver.
Do not keep any parts of the body (trunk, hand, head, foot) unnecessarily close to the airbag cover.
}
The space between the driver and airbag must be free. Do not place any animals, objects or persons between the driver and
}
the airbag.
Hold the steering wheel by the outer rim as much as possible to allow unimpeded deployment of the airbag.
}
27
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Activation
- If the airbag is activated in a collision, a white powder/gas will be released. This is in no way an indication of fire. The powder itself is not health-damaging.
- The airbag and seat belt tensioners can be activated only once. After activation of the system the parts must be replaced by an authorized Service dealer to provide the same protection.
- In the event of a minor collision not causing the airbag and seat belt tensioner system to be activated, it is recommended to have the system checked as yet by an authorized Service dealer.
The airbag fabric could cause slight injur y because of the rapid movement of the airbag during activation. People wearing
}
spectacles and persons smoking when driving run an increased risk of facial injury in a collision involving deployment of the airbag. Usually the injuries are by no means as serious as the injuries that may occur in a collision without airbag and seat belt tensioners.
Avoid touching parts of the airbag shortly after deplo yment of the airbag unit because they may be hot.
}
28
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Inspections
- The system is only functioning correctly if:
- after turning the ignition on, an airbag message appears on the master display which disappears after approx. 5 to 10 seconds.
- The system is not functioning correctly if:
- after turning the ignition on, no airbag message appears on the master display.
- the airbag message on the master display has still not disappeared after approx. 10 seconds after turning on the ignition.
- the airbag message appears on the master display when driving.
- If the system signals a fault, it will be unable to activate the airbag and/or seat belt tensioners and will therefore not provide extra protection in the event of a collision. Have the fault remedied by an approved Service dealer as soon as possible.
29
Warnings and Safety Regulations
Maintenance
- Clean the airbag cover only with a dry or damp cloth. If it is heavily fouled, ask an authorized Service dealer for an approved cleaning agent.
Do not stick anything to the airbag cover. Do not treat the cover with a cleaning agent, solvent, grease, paint, lacquer or other
}
substance.
Check that the cover of the airbag unit is not damaged. Do not damage the tear seams or the cover of the airbag unit.
}
- After a maximum of 15 years the main components of the airbag and seat belt tensioner system must be replaced by an authorized Service dealer. This does not apply to the electronic unit, which must be replaced after 10 years.
Sales
- If ownership of the vehicle is transferred, the previous owner must make the new owner aware of the above instructions.

Alarm System

31
Alarm System

THE SYSTEM

The theft protection system consists of several forms of protection, which each protect the vehicle in a different way:
- The immobiliser (electronic drive-off lock) prevents the engine from being started without the correct key.
Note:
If a vehicle does not have an alarm system but it does have an immobiliser, there will always be a system LED. This LED will flash at a low frequency when the ignition is switched off.
- The acoustic and visual alarms ensure that, as soon as unauthorised persons gain access to the vehicle, this can be seen and heard from outside.

USE OF THE HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER

The alarm system is activated by pressing the button (1) on the hand-held transmitter. The warning lights will come on for 3 seconds.
21
Do not press the hand-held transmitter buttons unnecessarily hard. Check whether the system is working with the warning lights.
32
The doors, cab tilting mechanism, interior and loadspace (if th is has an alarm system) are now protected. In addition, the starting option is now locked.
The system LED will flash at a slow rate after approx. 50 seconds.
Alarm System
The system is now fully operational. Ensure that there is nothing in the interior that can cause a false alarm, e.g. moving
objects in the cab. Pressing the button (2) on the hand-held transmitter results in the system
deactivating itself. This is indicated visually by the warning lights lighting up 3 times.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS

The electronic anti-theft system has an extensive self-diagnostic function. Following activation, all detection circuits (for the interior, grille, cab tilting mechanism and doors) are automatically tested.
If a fault is found in one or more of these detection circuits, the affected circuit(s) is (are) switched off. This is made noticeable by a short signal from the siren immediately after activation of the alarm system.
If this signal is heard, first of all check whether the windows and/or doors are closed properly. Turn the alarm system off, close everything carefully and switch on the alarm system again. If the short signal is heard once again, this means that the system is (partially) defective. You should then have the system looked at by your authorized Service dealer.
33
Alarm System

USE WHEN STAYING IN THE CAB

If people remain in the vehicle, the system may only be activated if the interior protection is switched off. This avoids unnecessary sounding of the alarm. The interior protection is deactivated as follows:
1. Deactivate the alarm system.
2. Press the "Switch off interior detection" switch. See "Cab, instruments and controls". The system LED will come on for approx. 2 seconds.
3. Then activate the alarm system with button (1) on the hand-held transmitter. The interior protection has now been switched off. It is then possible to stay in the cab while retaining the other detection options.
If you want to leave the cabin from time to time, you must turn off the entire system using button (2) on the hand-held transmitter.
Outside the vehicle, you can now make the choice between:
- not activating the alarm system, or
- Activating the alarm system.
On returning to the cabin, you must carry out the procedure once again, to deactivate the interior protection.
Note:
If the interior protection is not activated, the alarm still works on the doors and the cab lock. The start lock is also activated.
34
Alarm System

DEACTIVATION LOADSPACE DETECTION SUPERSTRUCTURE/TRAILER

If you need to access the loadspace of the superstructure/trailer while retaining the remaining detection options, the system can only be activated if the loadspace detection is switched off. This avoids unnecessary sounding of the alarm. The loadspace detection is deactivated as follows:
1. Deactivate the alarm system.
2. Press the "Switch off loadspace detection superstructure/trailer" switch. See
"CAB, INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS". The system LED will come on for approx. 2 seconds.
3. Then activate the alarm system with button (1) on the hand-held transmitter. The
loadspace detection has now been switched off. It is then possible to stay in the loadspace while retaining the other detection options.
To protect the loadspace again, the alarm system should first be switched off and then back on again.
35
Alarm System

THE SYSTEM LED

If the LED is off (A), the vehicle may be started. If the LED flashes slowly (B), the alarm system has been activated. If the LED flashes quickly (C), a self-test will be carried out or an error message is given by means of a flashing code.
36

LOSS OF HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER

If you lose a hand-held transmitter, you must replace it as soon as possible. When replacing it, the lost transmitter can be rendere d un us a ble by eras ing the code from the central door locking memory. Without hand-held transmitters, the alarm system can only be switched off by turning on the ignition.

SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER

If the system does not respond to the hand-held transmitter, the following tips may provide a solution:
1. Check whether the battery of the hand-held transmitter is still working. This is indicated by whether or not the LED on the hand-held transmitter lights up.
2. If there is a strong radio transmitter in the area, the range of the hand-held transmitter can be considerably less. Operate the hand-held transmitter as close as possible to the electronic unit. It is located at the front of the vehicle, on the driver's side.
3. If the system does not respond to the transmitter at all, you can switch off the alarm system by opening the vehicle with the ignition key and then starting it. The alarm system cannot be activated with the ignition key.

BATTERY, HAND-HELD TRANSMITTERS

Recommendation: Ensure that two spare batteries (type CR 1620, 3V) are
available at all times. Depending on the use, the battery life is be tween 3 and 12 months.

MAINTENANCE

Have the alarm system checked at least once per year by your authorized Service dealer. This guarantees optimum protection.
Watch the ultrasound sensors on both sides of the roof box. Make sure that they do not come loose or are pointed in a different direction. Ensure that the sensors have an "unrestricted view"; they must not be blocked by objects that might interfere with their operation. Prevent the sensors from coming into contact with moisture or dirt.

DISCONNECTING THE VEHICLE BATTERY

If the battery has to be disconnected without activating the signal horn, the alarm system should first be switched off using button 2 on the hand-held transmitter.

AIR CONDITIONING SWITCH

The cab air can be heated, cooled or dehumidified using the air conditioning unit. The air conditioning unit only functions if:
- the engine is running 71
Cab, Instruments and Controls
- the fan is running.
Use of the air conditioning
1. When the air conditioning is in use, the windows must remain closed.
2. To reduce the temperature quickly, first use maximum air speed. Later, the air speed can be reduced.
3. Avoid direct cold or draught on your body. Do not aim the air vents directly at your body.
4. Make sure that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cab does not exceed 5 C when you leave the cab. You are therefore advised to switch off the air conditioning towards the end of your journey.
5. Air conditioning consumes extra power and increases the fuel consumption.
6. On extreme angles (slopes, ruts and difficult terrain) switch off the air conditioning, to protect the compressor pump against unlubricated operation.
7. Regularly (once a month) switch on the air conditioning briefly, even if cooling is not required (e.g. in winter). This will prevent serious damage being caused to the system (including compressor blockage).
Cooling
1. Switch the air conditioning on.
2. Switch the recirculation to position 1, 2 or 3.
3. Turn the temperature control switch to the desired position. For maximum cooling set the knob to the far left position in the blue area.
4. Open the side and centre vents.
While heating, it is possible to use the air conditioning to remove moisture from the air in the cab. This has the advantage that demisting of the window glass will be quicker.
72
Dehumidification
1. Switch the air conditioning on.
2. Switch off the recirculation.
3. Open the vents on the centre console and at the side windows and set them as desired.
Cab, Instruments and Controls
4. Control the temperature as desired.
5. Adjust the volume of air using the fan speed selector switch.

The fan has two speeds: one applies to re-circulation the other to fresh air. The re­circulation position is suited to quickly de-mist or cool the cab with the air conditioning, quickly heat the cab, de-frost the windows with the heater and keep out undesirable odours.
Note:
You are advised to switch on the re-circulation without air conditioning fo r short periods only to prevent the air quality inside the cab degrading and moisture increasing.
