5. If the engine has been operated at heavy duty cycle let it run for 3 min
utes at idle speed before stopping to decrease smoothly the temperature of tur
bocharger to avoid its premature damage.
6. To prevent damaging of the gearbox when towing the vehicle, discon
nect the propeller shaft flange from the axle drive. Then fix reliably the dis
connected end of the propeller shaft via a wooden block to the vehicle nearest
frame element.
7. Do not eliminate free axial displacement of steering arm pin ball head as
to drag link because the travel equal to 3,4 mm with the shutdown engine is
required for power steering drive proper operation.
8. To avoid dislocating of relative position of the steering gear and steer
ing wheels, never set out the adjustment of the drag link length (except for the
cases specified in given Operating Instructions).
9. To avoid overheating of power steering drive system, do not run the en
gine for a long time at high speed (more than 30 minutes) when the vehicle is
at parking place.
10. With operating engine do not keep the steering wheel turned as far as
it will go for more than 15 sec. because it may cause damage of the power steer
ing pump. Never start the engine with power steering tank empty or insuffi
cient oil level.
11. When the ambient air temperature is below 35° C fill the power steer
ing system with special liquid (see subsection "Lubrication Chart").
12. Watch out for tightness of air pipelines, cylinders and pneumatic valves.
Break of air tightness reduces braking efficiency.
13. To avoid storage batteries failure, timely switch over regulated volt
age level.
14. If any of the red pilot lamps lights up on the instrument cluster or buzzer
operates on the run, stop the vehicle, detect and eliminate the trouble.
15. The brake pads are to be replaced at service stations only.
3. SAFETY PRECAUTION RULES
Strictly follow the safety precaution rules during vehicle operation.
Never warm up the engine in the enclosed space. The engine exhaust gases
contain toxic end product of fuel combustion, monoxide carbon including (gas
without fume and color), which, when inhaling, causes severe intoxication and
it may even lead to fatal case. It is also not recommended to turn on the pas
senger compartment ventilation at parking place with the operating engine.
