Preface
This documentation has been developed for the skilled Serviceman, trained by ZF for the Repair and
Maintenance operations on ZF-Units.
Treated is a ZF-Serial product according to the design stage of the date of Edition.
However, due to further technical developments of the product, the repair of the unit at your disposal could
require different steps as well as other adjustment and testing specifications.
Therefore, we recommend to commit your ZF-Product to Masters and to Servicemen, whose practical and
theoretical training is constantly completed to the actual situation in our Training School.
The Service Stations, established by the ZF Friedrichshafen all over the world, offer you:
1. Constantly trained personnel
2. Prescribed installations, e.g. Special Tools

Here, all operations are carried out for you with utmost care and reliability.
Repair operations carried out by ZF-Service Stations, are covered additionally within the terms of the
actual contractual conditions, by the ZF-Warranty.
Damages caused by inappropriate or inexpert work, carried out by personnel foreign to ZF, and after-
expenditures eventually arising from it, are excluded from this contractual responsibility.
This applies also in case of a renouncement of Genuine ZF-Spare Parts.
We did not go into detail for disassembly, reassembly and repair of accessory parts.
Please observe the respective instructions and manuals of the vehicle manufacturer.
Basically all pictures are without any obligation and only serve as illustrative material and for better
understanding purposes.
