Personal protection
Besides the body and limbs, several organs vital
to life are in very particular danger. Because
damage is mostly irreparable, special attention and
comprehensive protection is necessary.
Protective equipment
Always use the appropriate protective equipment:
• Protective helmet or welding mask
• Breathing protection
• Protective clothes gloves and safety boots
• Ear defenders
• Extraction systems
Always carry out an operational check on your
protective equipment every time before you start
working!
Breathing protection
WARNING: Vapor or spray mist containing
isocyanates as a paint base or hardener
can cause toxic respiratory disease
(conditions similar to asthma) leading to
permanent damage, even when inhaled in
the lowest concentrations
The instructions for use provided by the
manufacturer must be observed when working with
breathing protection equipment.
During painting work and in the preparations for
painting, gases, vapors, mists or dusts can appear
in dangerous concentrations.
Breathing protection devices which are
independent of the local atmosphere are most
suitable.
In these types of isolation systems, a compressed
air hose carries natural air from the compressor
line into the protective mask. During supply, the
air undergoes pressure reduction, water removal,
fine filtration and usually warming to natural breath
temperature.

Headlamp levelling
Vehicles with conventional headlamps are
equipped with a manual headlamp leveling system. An automatic headlamp leveling system is a legal
requirement for vehicles with gas discharge
headlamps.
The automatic headlamp levelling system is a
dynamic system which provides additional benefits
for the driver in terms of improved illumination of
the road due to improved control over the
headlamp beam.
In a static system, the vehicle is only considered
as a stationary object, whereas a dynamic system
also takes into account the dynamic changes to
the inclination of the vehicle whilst driving.
In order to prevent unnecessary changes in the
height of the headlamp beam, the system filters
out surface irregularities and any pitching of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration.
The system is designed to respond to changes in
the inclination of the vehicle caused by load
changes or long-term effects of aerodynamic forces
acting on the vehicle (e.g. due to continuous driving
at high speeds).
Accordingly, the system needs to be set up with
the aid of WDS (Worldwide Diagnostic System)
after any components are replaced or any other
repairs are carried out.
