Towing
Safety information
DANGER
The brake system on the towing vehicle may fail.
Risk of accident!
If the brake system of the towing vehicle is not ade-
quately sized, the vehicle may not brake safely or
the brakes may fail. The towing vehicle must be able
to absorb the pulling and braking forces from the un-
braked towed load (total actual weight of the truck).
–
Check the pulling and braking forces of the towing
vehicle.
DANGER
The truck could drive into the towing vehicle when
the towing vehicle brakes. Risk of accident!
If a rigid connection has not been used for power
transmission in two directions during towing, the
truck may drive into the towing vehicle when the tow-
ing vehicle brakes. For safety reasons, only a tested
tow bar may be used.
–
Use a tested tow bar.
CAUTION
If the truck drive between the drive motor and the
drive axle is not interrupted, the drive may be dam-
aged.
–
Set the drive direction switch to the neutral posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Potential for damage to the battery male connector!
If the battery male connector is disconnected while
the key switch is on (under load), an arc will be
produced. This can lead to erosion at the contacts,
which considerably shortens the service life of the
contacts.
–
Switch off the key switch before disconnecting the
battery male connector.
–
Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while the key switch is switched on, except in an
emergency.
