
Try not to turn when the front wheels are obstructed by a curb or other object. The power
steering and tyres can be damaged.

Use the differential lock only when driving straight ahead on slippery roads.

Let the engine idle for at least 1 minute before turning the engine off. This avoids heat
stress in the engine.

Always apply the parking brake when parking the tractor.
Economic driving
High fuel costs and concern for the environment mean that the tractor should be driven as
economically as possible. Driving the vehicle correctly can have a significant effect on fuel
consumption and operational life.
Observing the instructions below will ensure that your vehicle is used economically:

Check that the correct gear is selected before starting to drive. If in doubt, select the
lower gear.

Shift the gear lever to neutral when the vehicle is stationary.

Try to keep engine speed as low as possible.

Ensure tyre pressures are correct.

Do not drive at excessive speed.

Do not allow the engine to idle unnecessarily.

Never leave the tractor for prolonged periods with the engine running.
5.3 Tractor-trailer (un)coupling
5.3.1 Using the lifting system of the 5
th
wheel
The tractor has a lifting system for its 5
th
wheel, due to ergonomic reasons for the
driver. The system is able to lift trailers of different heights, so the driver doesn’t
have to manually retract the supporting legs of the trailer.
The lifting system is part of the tractor's hydraulic system. The fifth wheel can be
adjusted to any desired height using control lever
5 on the steering column.

Move the lever forward to lower the fifth wheel.

Move the lever back to raise the fifth wheel.
The fifth wheel must be raised sufficiently to ensure the trailer is at least parallel
with the surface (as shown in picture). This to ensure that load distribution is
optimal, and stresses in the combination are kept to a minimum.
When driving on uneven ground, obstacles, ramps etc. the trailer can be raised to keep it
sufficiently clear from the ground. Always keep it lowest possible (parallel to the surface it
drives on), which ensures best stability.
