Do not use the parking brake in overrun mode
and only perform slight adaptive braking with

WARNING
When the underride guard is pressed against
the tyres, persons could become trapped
between the tyres and the underride guard.
There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that there is no-one in the area
between the tyres and the underride guard.
! Make sure that the underride guard is not
engaged in road finishing machine opera-
tion. The locking levers must be released
and the underride guard must be able to
swing freely. The underride guard or the
chassis could otherwise be damaged.
Tipper with air suspension in road paver operation
(overrun mode)
In road paver operation, the road paver
presses rollers on the underride guard
against the tyres. This causes the vehicle to
be pushed forwards at the speed of the road
finishing machine.
Shift the level control to road paver operation
(
Y
page 286).
For most road pavers, the optimal road paver
roller position is preset. The road paver rollers
should touch the approach plate roughly in
the centre.
Do not use the parking brake in overrun mode
and only perform slight adaptive braking with
the service brake.
The vehicle's level will be adjusted auto-
i
matically. If the road paver rollers do not
touch the centre of the approach plate, a
different driving level can be set before
power take-off is activated (
Driving off-road
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When driving off-road, your body is subject to
forces from all directions due to the uneven
surface. You could be thrown from your seat,
for instance. There is a danger of injury.
Always wear a seat belt, even when driving off-
road.
! If the vehicle is being driven off-road, it
can be damaged by obstacles.
Obstacles may damage vehicle parts such
as:
axles
R
propeller shafts
R
fuel tank
R
compressed-air reservoir
R
engine
R
transmission
R
For this reason, you should always drive
slowly when off-road. Ask passengers for
guidance when driving over obstacles.
Always observe the vehicle's ground clear-
ance. Avoid obstacles if possible.
! When driving the vehicle on rough terrain,
ensure that the drive wheels always have
sufficient traction. Avoid wheelspin of the
drive wheels. You could otherwise damage
the differential gear system.
Driving off-road increases the possibility of
damage to the vehicle, which may cause
assemblies or systems to fail. Adapt your
driving style to the conditions of the terrain.
Drive carefully. Have vehicle damage rectified
immediately at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
