WARNING When opnting with the PTO engaged, the main tnnsmksion shift lever must bo in the neutral position (7th - 8th gear), the forwardlnverse gear lever in the neutral position, and the splitter transmission in LOW mtlo. WARNING Braking efficiency is reduced when the engine brake is isolated from the service brake padal. The engine brakeisewice brake switch is only to be activated during testing of the service brakes. Do not disconnect the engine brake from the sewice brake pedal when driving on public roads. WARNING The MRV must not be driven if a bnke warning light or low air pressure warning light is operating. These warning devices indicate that the brake system is not functioning correctly. WARNING Do not operate the central tym inflation system when driving on public roads. Lowlunrven tyrt pressures make the MRV dimcult to control and dangerous in traffic. WARNING The refrigeration system components and copper pipework used in the air conditioning system are under high pressure and can cause serious injury if the air conditioning system is opened. The mfrigeration system components and copper pipoworlr contain liquid-vrpour mixtures under pressure, which on contact can freeze, and cold-bum human body tissue resulting in permanent damage. This damage can occur within l(one) second. If refrigerant does enter the eye, fmzing of the eye can occur and blindness could resuk WARNING When operating, the air conditioning system has several hot (> 60%) and cold (>S°C) areas. When working on the vehicle be welt aware of these areas to avoid injuries. WARNING Welding tasks are not to be performed on the refrigerant circuit or in the immediate vicinity. The refrigerant gas is non-tlammable, however ensure that them are no naked flames within the vicinity as toxic gas is produced when the refrigerant gas comes in contact with fire.

Over inflation could result in tyn damagehlowout and injury to personnel. Ensum the accelerator pedal is not depmssed after the engine has been shut down as this action will release the positive engine stop allowing the engine to be roll started. WARNING Do not drive the MRV on a firm surface with the differential locks engaged as there is no differential operation between the whclals when cornering. This leads to increased tyre war, poor steering behaviour and severe loads being placed on drive line components. To prevent severe tyre vibration and possible loss of steering control remove all mud from the front wheels and tyms after cross country operation. WARNING When slave starting the MRV ensure that a 24V source is used and slave lead polarity connections are correct. Incorrect voltage or polarity connections myresult in battery explosion and injury to personnel. WARNING The MRV is equipped with six-wheel drive and differential locks.

WARNING On completion of lowering the load the two MI X 20 screws must be removed and the plugs must be refitted to the winch brake end plate. If this is not done, an accident can occur since the winch brake is completely out of action. WARNING Ensure personnel are clear before operating earth anchors. WARNING 134 Removal of the valves mounted on the top of the earth anchor leg cylinder may result in sudden movement of the earth anchor leg and explosive release of hydraulic fluid. WARNING Removal of the valve adjacent to the hydraulic cylinder port marked 'R' (stamped on the top face of the cylinder end cap) may result in the earth anchor leg dropping if it is unrestrained. WARNING If the MRV is supported on the earth anchor legs the hydraulic valve immediately adjacent to the hydraulic cylinder port marked 'E' (stamped on the top face of the cylinder end cap) must not be removed. WARNING 135 Attempting to lower the MRV by large movements on each side may result in overturning of the vehicle.

  • For Immediate Release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces
    26th May 2017 Ref: AB/03/17 – LAT-38-150-H Press Release: For immediate release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces Date: 26 May 2017 Closer ties: Versalift Managing Director Cameron Burnett, right, and Director Andy Bray, centre, are pictured with Mercedes-Benz Head of Special Trucks – Unimog Bernhard Dolinek, and the versatile U218 access platform Unveiled! All-new Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based Versalift platform offers high performance at low cost. The vehicle made its world debut on the Versalift stand at last week’s (24-25 May) Vertikal Days exhibition, a major European showcase for lifting and access equipment. Truck-mounted access platform market leader Versalift and the team responsible for the legendary Mercedes-Benz Unimog in the UK have joined forces to launch an exciting new model. Based on a Unimog U218 implement carrier with nominal 7.5-tonne gross weight, it is designed to provide utilities companies with a compact, fast and reliable off-road package for work on low-voltage power lines in difficult-to-reach areas, at a highly attractive price. Following the Vertikal Days event, which took place at Silverstone, the new truck is being made available to operators for trial – although Versalift has been mounting its equipment on Unimog chassis for many years, this is the first time the two have invested together in a joint demonstration unit. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is renowned for its unrivalled combination of on-road speed and all-terrain capability. The new vehicle is fitted with an all-steel boom and platform that offers a maximum working height of 15 metres.

The development and testing process was long, incloved, and troubled, and deliveries did not begin until 2005. The Bushmaster is based on a design originally conceived by the Irish company of Timoney; considerable portions of the Bushmaster are therefore manufactured under a licensing agreement with Timoney, though production is undertaken wholly in Australia. ADI began the part of the design process done in Australia, but production later passed to Thales Australia, who also developed several variants. (Virtually all of these variants differ primarily in internal arrangements and equipment; externally, almost all of the different versions differ little from each other.) The primary users of the Bushmaster are the Australian Army and Air Force, but it is also used by the Dutch Army and British Army.

(Otokar) MINE-PROTECTED TRANSPORTS: WHat LIES AHEAD? One of the unanswered questions for most military planners is what will happen after Afghanistan. The Second Gulf War, or to be more precise the “follow-on stabilisation effort”, had led to a new category of vehicle, namely the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or Mrap as it became universally known. As this definition is very much US-related we prefer that of “mine-protected vehicles”, which includes the notion of protection against improvised explosive devices, which became the main risk for troops moving in theatre.

Editorial Grumpy Old Men Between this and the next edition of Europe’s leading defence and security journal the world of US politics will rear its ugly head and bite us all – again. In a year of high drama, not to mention tragedy, the US still leads in its perplexing way; perplexing to a continent where anything other than an apolitical military and a neutral judiciary was, at least until very recently, unthinkable. In the US, and more generally around the globe, modern, democratic govern- ments have failed in their duty to protect their citizens, and not just from COVID-19. Popular media and professional pollsters suggest that we may soon see the back of Mr Trump, but wait a moment! Thousands of unopened ballot papers from 2016; stories of gangs knocking on doors to deliver pre-filled ballot papers to vulnerable voters, and the anarchic, fiery – “but mostly peaceful” – scenes in US cities suggest that a landslide might well be on the cards, given Mr Trump surviving his latest brush with COVID-19.
