3.4 CHECKING THE FLUID LEVEL OF THE CAB TILTING PUMP

1.

The fluid level must be checked when the

cab is in the driving position.

2.

The cock (2) should be in the "tilting back"

position (anti-clockwise).

3.

Unscrew the filler plug (1) 3 to 4 turns. Wait

until the overpressure, if any, has left the

reservoir. Remove filler plug (1).

4.

Start pumping (maximum 5 pump strokes).

Ensure that the pump lever is in the lowest

position.

5.

Check the fluid level. This level should be no

more than 2 cm below the top of the filling

opening. Top up if necessary.

6.

Fit the filler plug (1) and hand tighten it.

3.5 CHECKING THE CAB FASTENING

1.

Check that all attachment bolts are in place.

Wipe the dipstick clean with a lint-free cloth.

5.

Put the dipstick back into the holder.

6.

Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil

3.7 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, VALVE CLEARANCE

1.

Remove the valve covers, see chapter

"Removal and installation".

2.

Use the special tool (DAF no. 1310477) to

turn the crankshaft clockwise, as seen from

the timing gear end (this corresponds with

the engine's direction of rotation), until the

valves of cylinder 1 are in overlap position.

The pistons of cylinders 1 and 6 are now at

top dead centre.

Note:

"Overlap" is the moment at which the inlet valve

starts opening and the exhaust valve finishes

closing.

3.

Check/correct the valve clearance of cylinder

6. Set the correct valve clearance by

loosening the lock nut and turning the

adjusting screw in the correct direction. See

main group "Technical data" for the correct

valve clearance.

4.

By cranking the crankshaft always 1/3

stroke, using special tool (DAF no. 1310477)

the valves can be adjusted according to the

injection sequence 1-5-3-6-2-4.

5.

Fit the valve covers, see chapter "Removal

and installation".

Check the poly-V-belt for damage and signs

of serious wear.

3.9 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, V-BELT TENSION

Inspecting the V-belt tension
1.

Check the V-belt tension of the airc

onditioning-compressor drive with the Krikit I,

special tool (DAF no. 1240442).

2.

Set the gauge to zero by depressing the

measuring arm (1).

3.

Place the belt tension gauge on the V-belt,

halfway between the two pulleys.

4.

Slowly depress the V-belt by means of the

belt-tension gauge until a click is heard.

Then remove the belt tension gauge

carefully. Take care not to let the measuring

arm move.

5.

Take the reading as indicated by the position

of the measuring arm in relation to the scale.

Compare this reading with the

recommended pre-tension, see main group

"Technical data".
