ADVICE
The overrun device forms part of the
brake system. Irrespective of the ser-
vice intervals for the overrun device, the
brake system must be inspected for the
first time by a specialist workshop after
1500 km or 6 months.
During maintenance, care and inspection work,
check all system parts for operational safety and
perfect technical condition.
Have damaged parts replaced.
Limited liability
Checking the brake system does not mean
that the prescribed maintenance measures
for the overrun hitch can be neglected.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for in-
jury to personnel and damage to material attri-
butable to failure to comply with the safety re-
gulations and to carry out the indicated main-
tenance work.
Oil and lubricating points
Grease or oil sliding and articulation points
every 10,000 - 12,000 km or every 12 months
(07).
