1.4 Requirements for implement mounting and operating

instructions

Implement mounting instructions:
When composing mounting and operating instructions, Unimog-specific
details must be included. The implement mounting instructions shall de-
scribe the mounting of the implement on the Unimog. It should consider
Unimog-specific details explained by pictures or exploded drawings. The
instructions should be easy to understand so it is possible to mount the
implement without safety hazards.
Examples of Unimog-specific details:
•
When mounting on the front mounting plate detail the mounting
location on the front of the vehicle.
•
In case of heavy front mounted implement a counterweight is
necessary otherwise the front axle will be over loaded and the
rear axle will be under loaded. Required components, ballast lo-
cation and amount must be shown in a mounting drawing.
•
Connection of the hydraulic hoses with a note to the float posi-
tion during connecting to the Unimog.
•
Pictures showing cable and hose routing and assembly and fix-
ing of the implement control console.
•
Information about cable passage into the cab and use of the seal
cap (part number: A405 583 00 83).
Implement operating instructions:
Operation of the vehicle components (power take-off (PTO) switch, hy-
draulic control panel, etc.) and implement control consoles must be ex-
plained in the implement operating instructions. In particular, the opera-
tion procedures for emergency situations must be described.

1.5 Warranty rights

Warranty rights can only be asserted within the framework of the
purchase agreement between the purchaser and the vendor. The
relevant vendor of the object supplied is then obliged to the pur-
chaser as regards the warranty.
Warranty obligations are not assumed by Freightliner LLC if
•
the body and mounting guidelines have been ignored
•
the chassis used does not correspond to the country-
specific equipment and the equipment required for the ap-
plication.
The implement or body must not affect operating and driving
safety. In the case of cabs, free movement for tilting must be
guaranteed. In the case of implements and bodies, asymmetrical
load on the chassis must be avoided wherever possible.
If asymmetrical load is unavoidable (e.g. in the case of a side-
mounted loading crane, generator, mower, etc.) and the difference
in wheel loads exceeds 10 % of the relevant axle loads (see Sec-
tion 4.8 Center of gravity, page 71), then the approval of the
Freightliner Unimog Implement Department is necessary. In this
case please contact the Unimog Implement Manager listed at the
beginning of this guideline. Driving trials may be necessary.

1.6 Maintenance instructions

The body manufacturer must note the following prior to delivery of
the vehicle:
•
Servicing due must be carried out at a Freightliner / Mer-
cedes-Benz Service Center.
•
Headlamp adjustment must be checked and, if necessary,
corrected following the mounting or attachment of an im-
plement.
