hicle!
Note
The retarder braking torque is sustained even when gear
changes are made!
The gearbox retarder system is a six-speed synchro-

mesh gearbox, with a hydrodynamic continuous service
brake (retarder), integrated in the gearbox housing, for
buses with a permissible total weight up to 24 tons.
The connection from gearshift lever to gearbox is made

through linkage or Bowden cables.
The retarder stage switch can be used for control of 5

brake stages - from position 2 to 5 with increasing brake
force.
The function of position 1 is „constant speed” (control to
constant speed).

Warning!
Prior to starting the vehicle engine, push the gearshift le-
ver into idle position (L)!

Caution!
L For correct operation of the gearbox it is necessary to
push the clutch pedal all the way down. Hence there
must be no obstacles in the floor area below the foot con-

contact to the floor and are not getting in contact with the
pedals.
Shift without using any force.

M+P-07A-1711
Shift to reverse gear (R) only at engine idle speed and
parking vehicle.
It is possible to use a vehicle-specific warning buzzer

and/or a warning lamp, if a too low gear was used for
downshift.
Danger of engine overspeed! Shift to a higher gear!

Operation: gearbox 6.1
Operate the clutch pedal to change gears and move the

gearshift lever to a position as illustrated in the scheme
Note
on page 18.
When driving observe the tachometer and the economi-
cal range. Shift the lever from idle position (L) to the left front to
change to reverse gear.
Drive in the highest gear (before downgrades shift in due
time to reverse gear).
Prior to retarder braking shift to the lowest possible gear

to reach engine rated speed (see chapter 6.2.1: “Retard-
er operation – temperature limit”).
Skip the gears, if possible, and change gears only, if re-

quired.

troubleshooting in the electronic system without using
the service unit. The indication of an error can be
realized by the flash code of the retarder pilot light.
Caution!
The activation of the flash code as well as maintenance
works must be carried out only by qualified and
specialized personnel.

Maintenance works
The following works are to be performed on each oil

change (gearbox and retarder):
– clean oil screen (gearbox)
