3.8. Semi-Trailer Axle System
Axle with disc or drum type brake mech-
anism are used in your vehicles.
Semi-trailer axles may only be loaded
with the maximum legally permissible
axle load indicated on the vehicle identi-
fication plate. The user is responsible for
use of the trailer in accordance with its
purpose
and capacity and for its
maintenance.
The healthy operation of the brake sys-
tem of the semi-trailer depends on the
usage of the semi-trailer with the same
system and/or compatible tractor. For
this reason, it is obligatory for the buyer
to make the brake adjustment at the au-
thorized service of the tractor company
to which these semi-trailer/trailers are to
be matched. If you use the unadjusted
truck-trailer combination, the producer
doesn't take any responsibility for the
damage/failure that may occur in the
brake system or vehicles. All responsibil-
ity belongs to the customer.
For more information about
the axles, please check the
axle's user manual which was
delivered with your vehicle.
If the axles are used other
than the conditions specified
in the manufacturer’s man-ual
or if their maintenance is not
made properly, your vehicle
may be out of warranty.
If the vehicle is equipped with
emergency brake chambers,
apply the parking brake after
checking the drum temperatu-
re. Never use the parking bra-
ke when the drums are very
hot (the drum may crack).
3.8.1. Self-Steering Axles
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
self-steering axle to increase the maneu-
verability capacity during forwarding driv-
ing.
This type of axle is usually
positioned at the rear axle of the vehicle
and has a locking mechanism.
The turning radius of the ve-
hicle which is equipped with a
self-steering axle is different
from standard vehicles. In ad-
dition, there will be differen-
ces in the maneuverability of
the vehicle in cases where the
self-steering axle is locked or
unlocked. Please be careful
about the self-steering axles.
3.8.1.1. Locking The Steering Axle
For vehicles with Electronic Braking Sys-
tem (EBS), the self-steering axle can be
locked automatically when the reverse
gear is engaged in order to reverse. It is
also possible to lock this axle manually.
Drive the vehicle straight ahead so that
the steering axle is in a straight position
before the steering axles will be locked.
If the automatic axle locking function is
active in your vehicle, the steering axle
