STEERING
KNEELING SUSPENSION
FOOTBRAKE
RETARDER
For all normal braking, use the footbrake gently. To assist in slowing down
on long or steep gradients, select lower gears.
When the retarder is in operation the warning lamp on the instrument
panel will illuminate.
The retarder is hydraulicly operated from inside the gearbox and is
activated by depressing the footbrake pedal. This function is only enabled
above 3 kmph
The steering system is hydraulically power assisted from a
hydraulic pump mounted on the engine.
The steering mechanism is designed in such a way that in the
event of any loss of hydraulic pressure, it is still possible to steer the
vehicle, although extra effort will be required.
The wheels must not be turned when the vehicle is
stationary as this can result in serious damage to the steering
mechanism.
The vehicle front air bags will deflate to lower step height. Depress
control switch to lower when handbrake is on.
Raise suspension by again pressing the suspension control switch.
NOTE:
Suspension cannot be lowered when the entrance doors are
closed.
Suspension will automatically raise when the handbrake is
released.
NB: A software program is available for operation when doors are
open - (special Request)
