Basic principles for safe operation
Non-original parts
Original parts, attachments and accessories
are specially designed for this truck. Please
note that parts, attachments and accessories
not supplied by the manufacturer have also not
been tested or approved by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Danger of damage to truck if non-original parts are
used!
Installation and/or use of non-original parts may
adversely affect the design features of the truck and
thus impair active and/or passive driving safety.
– Only use products that have been tested and
approved by the manufacturer.
– The approval of the manufacturer and, if neces-
sary, the relevant regulatory authorities must be
obtained before installing non-original parts.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any da-
mage caused by the installation and/or use of
non-original parts and accessories without appro-
val.
Gas spring and accumulator
WARNING
Danger of serious injury due to high gas spring
pressure!
For ease of operation, various functions on the
truck can be supported by gas springs. Gas springs
are complex components that are subject to high
internal pressures (up to 300 bar). They may under
no circumstance be opened unless so directed, and
may be installed only when not under compression.
If required, the service centre will depressurise the
gas spring in accordance with regulations before
the removal. Gas springs must be depressurised
before recycling.
– Avoid damage, lateral forces, buckling, tempe-
ratures over 80°C and heavy contamination.
– Damaged or defective gas springs must be
changed immediately.
– Contact your service centre.
