I'll try to do a picture series of it... as I try with everything. Usually you start out making pictures of everything, then undo the first 2 bolts or so... then the rest... etc, and after youre done you remember you wanted to make pics
But Ill be sure to remember how its done.
You're welcome! Any manual you can get your hands on is welcome here too, cant have enough of these. I can help with german-english translations if you need some speecifics.
As for the controls, I'm fairly confident we can help you here
Left is the clutch...
Seriously though, I included some pictures on the manual cd for the dashboard so you should be set for that one. On the attached picture you can somewhat see the controls under the dashboard.
To the left the CTIS obviously. The lever selects inflate/deflate/neutral, the knobs are for the tires. In/Down-most position for the level is the neutral. If positioned there the pressure gauge in the middle of the dash should be zero too.
To the right of that (just left of steering column), the small bend lever with the white cap is the pneumatic winch brake. It controls the belt brake. Vertical position is released, horizontal is applied. Leave brake released when driving.
Next to that, to the right of the steering column is the start-boost fluid container, and the manual pump for it. Fill the container with gas or other light flammable substance, use the knob next to it to inject into the air intake. The pump works both ways (both pushing and pulling inject fluid). Manual states that for cold starting (below -15 celcius) you should give it 2 pumps, start, and pump with short intervals while starting / running untill the engine runs smooth.
The white knob to the right of that is another cold-start mechanism. When pulled out the injector pump will put maximum fuel into the engine. If you see the movies where theres a ton of black smoke coming from the truck, the driver has this one pulled out while driving. It's funny to give smoke signals through the exhaust using it... manual states it should only be used when starting, and as soon as the engine catches on, it should be reset to neutral position (fully in).
The lever on the right, just below the dashboard is the manual throttle, controls the minimum level of throttle. Basicly, controls the idle speed, and functions as cruise control if you want
The small pedal just above the throttle pedal is the emergency engine shutoff, kills the fuel if im not mistaken.
To the right of the drivers seat theres 3 levers. From left to right:
- Selector for regular / crawl gearing, only to be used when in neutral, standing still, and without handbrake.
- Winch drive engage/disengage. Remember to flip the switch to the neutral solenoid when using the winch for anything except dragging yourself out of the mud forwards.
- Handbrake, needs no explaining.
The big rotating switch on the dashboard at co-driver side controls the electric air supply unit at the back of the cab.
On the rear bumper there are 2 controls (near the hitch) to unlock the hitch. One allows you to rotate the entire unit, the other allows you to pull it out about 30cm. Makes it easier to hitch a heavy trailer, no need to park 100% perfect to line them up
On the right side theres a rod that engages/disengages the winch. Push in to connect the winch to the drive, pull out to disconnect. Leave disengaged when not using the winch.
Last funny thing I found, under the bumper on the left side (just under the left tail light) theres a small knob. It controls the horn
Guessing it's there for communication between the driver and co-driver when winching, saves you a lot of shouting over the engine noise. Makes for fun moments when theres people in the cab who do not expect it
That's all I can think of... do tell if I missed anything, and please do correct me where I'm wrong!
