Maintenance


Oil the door hinges

Check the door locks, lid locks and safety hooks of the front lid to ensure that they are secure and functioning properly

Secure fit inspection

The fastening screws for the door lock, front lid lock and rear lid lock, as well as the retaining nuts for the upper parts of the locks of the front and rear lids must be tightened with 10 Nm (7.5 ft. lbs.).

Functional inspection

Door lock

The door lock must engage in two stages through the locking wedge when the doors are closed and must disengage again when the door handle is operated (inside and outside).

Lid lock, front and rear

The lid locks must engage by insertion of the lock upper parts when the lids (front and rear) are closed and must disengage again when the lid releases are pulled.

Safety hook, front lid

The front lid must be held down by the safety hook after the lid lock is opened. At the same time, the safety hook must engage in the retaining plate at its lowest point.
When the lid is open, the return spring must pull back the safety hook until it makes contact with the base plate of the lock upper part.
