General warning information on installation work

CAUTION: Risk of damage to the vehicle! Collisions can be caused if shim rings are
removed from the drive wheels during installation work!
• Shim rings are frequently placed between the drive shaft and the wheel hub to compensate
tolerances. Collisions can be caused if these shim rings are removed and not re-installed!
Please install all shim rings in exactly the same positions they were in before dismantling.
