3.10 CHECKING THE COOLANT FREEZING POINT

When the coolant is hot, there is an

overpressure in the cooling system.

Carefully remove the filler cap to

release the overpressure.

Do not remove the filler cap when the

engine is running.

Coolant is a toxic fluid. Contact with

the skin should therefore be

avoided.

In the event of contact with the skin:

remove with paper or a cloth, wash

with soap and water. If irritation

persists, consult a doctor.

If swallowed: DO NOT induce

vomiting. Rinse mouth, drink two

glasses of water and consult a

doctor.

In the event of inhalation: get some

fresh air and rest.

In order to avoid damaging the

cylinder block, do not top up a warm

engine with coolant.

1.

Check the anti-freeze content of the coolant.

Fill the cooling system with anti-freeze, if this

has not been done yet. Always use only

coolants that meet DAF specifications.

2.

Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for

the correct anti-freeze mixing ratio.

Preferably, use 40% anti-freeze on an

ethylene glycol base. At this percentage, not

only good frost protection, but also good

corrosion protection is guaranteed.

Steering gear and brake system

3.16 CHECKING THE UNIVERSAL JOINT ATTACHMENT ON STEERING BOX

INPUT SHAFT

1.

Check the universal joint for perceptible play.

If perceptible play is detected, the affected

part must be replaced.

2.

Check whether there is any perceptible play

between the spline connection of the

universal joint and the steering box input

shaft. If perceptible play is detected, the

splines on the universal joint and those on

the input shaft must be checked for wear. If

wear is detected, the affected part must be

replaced.

3.

If there is perceptible play but the parts are

not worn, the attachment bolt and nut must

be replaced. Tighten the attachment bolt and

nut to the specified torque, see "Technical

data".
