9.3 Operating the truck without its own drive system
9.3.1 Towing the truck
WARNING!
Accident risk
Other people can be injured if the truck is towed incorrectly.
X
Only use vehicles to tow the truck which have sufficient tow and brake forces for
the trailer load without its own braking system.
X
Always use a pull rod to tow.
X
Always tow the truck at walking pace.
X
Do not park the truck with the parking brake released.
X
One person must be seated in the recovery truck to steer it and one person must
be seated on the towed truck.
The brake system is designed so that the parking brake automatically applies when
the truck comes to rest. It must therefore be released for towing as described below.
WARNING!
Uncontrolled truck movement
When the brakes are released the truck must be parked securely on a level surface,
since the brakes are no longer effective.
XDo not release the parking brake on slopes or inclines.
XApply the parking brake again when you reach your destination.
XDo not park the truck with the parking brake released.
Emergency release of the parking brake
Procedure
• If the pressure supply fails, the parking
brake can be released mechanically as
follows:
Park the truck on a level surface and
prevent it from rolling away.
• Tilt the cab, see "Tilting the Cab" on
page 167.
• Loosen and unscrew the screw cap (206).
• Loosen the retaining nut (204). Manually
turn the adjusting screw (205) anti-
clockwise with the Allen key until the brake
disk is clear.
Z A torque of at least 40 Nm (SW8) / 70 Nm (SW10) on the adjusting screw is
required for emergency releasing.
• Counter-fix the retaining nut (204) manually. Fit the screw cap to protect against
contamination and insert it by several threads.
