OPERATION
WARNING
Axle load limits are increased 30% up to a
speed of 30 km/h to obtain a better traction
during take-off. After a speed of 30 km/h, limits
return to original values, so the system may
activate and lower the axles!

As shown in the figure, the tag axle shall
not raised when the self-steered axle is on
the ground, or the self-steered axle shall not
lowered when the tag axle is raised. To control
these situations, system rejects the relevant
requests and a warning message is displayed
on the Information Menu.
Sensor positions and maintenance
System includes displacement sensors in
order to send vehicle weight information to
the Electronic Brake System (EBS). Positions

weights on the vehicle are shown in the
figure. There are 4 sensors in total on the
vehicle, these are 1 for each of right and left
chassis arm on the tag axle, 1 for live axle
crossmember connection and 1 for front axle

We recommend you to visually inspect the
mechanical connections of the sensors in
weekly intervals.
