5.2.2 Switching the transmission to the neutral position
You can switch the transmission to neutral position at any time.
• Shift to position N.
The neutral position is switched on when the entry N appears.
Switch the transmission to neutral position to start the engine. The engine
may only be started in this position.
G
Risk of accidents when switching while driving
If you switch the transmission to neutral position while driving, the drive
line will be interrupted. As a result you will no longer be able to accelerate
the truck crane, for instance when trying to avoid an obstacle, and the
engine retarder will have no effect.
G
Risk of accidents due to the truck crane rolling away
Always apply the parking brake or the service brake before you switch to
the neutral position. This prevents the truck crane rolling away unintention-
ally.
S
Risk of damage to the transmission.
When stationary for a longer period (for example, in a traffic jam or at a
level crossing), always switch the gear to N.
This avoids excessive wear on the transmission components.
