Installation of switches and relays for equipment

Notes:

1. If the total load current to the equipment connected to the switch for equipment exceeds 3.0 A, a relay must 

be added to prevent the flow of any load current exceeding 3.0 A through the switch.
Night lighting and ON lighting are available for the switch for equipment. Use them as required.

2. The allowable current for the output line for equipment is specified separately from that for the relay above.

Select the connected load that will not exceed either allowable current.

6.13 Installation of propeller shafts

Observe the following when installing propeller shafts:

• Installation guidelines of the propeller shaft 

manufacturer.

• If necessary, fit several propeller shafts with 

intermediate bearings.

• The flanging surfaces must be completely flat.
• The angular offsets must be identical at both 

universal joints (ß

1

 = ß

2

). They must not be greater 

than 6° or less than 1°.

• Balancing plates must not be removed.
• Make sure that the marks are aligned on the 

propeller shafts during installation.

• Eliminate any vibrations, e.g. by optimising the 

propeller shaft angles.

6.13.1 Types of angular offset

Angle in one plane (two-dimensional offset)

ß

1

 = ß

2

Upper = Z-type offset
Lower = W-type offset

Angles in two planes (three-dimensional offset)

ß

1

 = ß

2

With three-dimensional offset, the input and output 
shafts intersect in different planes (combined W- and 
Z-offset).

In order to compensate for any irregularities, the inner 
joint fork must be offset.

!

Failure to observe these instructions could result in 
damage to the major assemblies.

Bodies on which the gearbox can be expected to be 
exposed to high levels of water, e.g. cleaning water 
(flushing, overflowing or similar), require an 
effective cover over the gearbox (gearbox guard) 
which will prevent abrupt cooling as well as water 
ingestion via the gearbox breather.

Further information on bolted and welded 
connections can be found in Section 3 "Planning of 
bodies" 

컄 page 27 and Section 5 "Damage 

prevention" 

컄 page 53.

7.1 General

a

Risk of accident and injury

Do not modify any bolted connections that are 
relevant to safety, e.g. that are required for wheel 
alignment, steering or braking functions.

When unfastening bolted connections make sure 
that, when work is complete, the connection again 
corresponds with the original condition.

Welding work on the chassis/body may only be 
carried out by trained and qualified personnel.

The body, attached or installed equipment and any 
modifications must comply with the applicable laws 
and directives as well as workplace safety or 
accident prevention regulations, safety rules and 
accident insurer requirements.

a

Risk of fire

With all bodies make sure that neither flammable 
objects nor flammable liquids can come into 
contact with hot assemblies (including through 
leakages in the hydraulic system) such as the 
engine, gearbox, exhaust system, turbocharger, 
etc.

Appropriate caps, seals and covers must be 
installed on the body in order to avoid the risk of 
fire.
