2.
Mercedes/Renault and MAN

This adaptor pin can be used for the above trucks.
The VDZ P07 pin is the most vulnerable pin in the kit. The reason for this issometimes the thread cutting for the tow eyes from the truck manufacturers
are not always so precise.
Before use, the thread of the vehicle must be cleaned with the MAN,Mercedes, Renault tap thread cutter before the pin is mounted.
Before you try to screw in the VDZ pin, you must be able to screw the tap cutter by hand to theend, if not you will damage the VDZ pin

VDZ P 06 Volvo FH /FM up to 2013This Pin has a ring where the block has to come to the top during assembly(See example))On the front of the pin there is a dash line which should be horizontal duringassembly.

With some older types, the upper thick block does not fit, if this happens thenturn the ring a half turn and mount the smaller block upwards.

VDZ P 13 DAF XF 105 upto 2014
VDZ P 10 DAF CF 85 upto 2014
During assembly, these DAF P 13 and P 10 pins are almost the same, the difference beingthat the "head" that goes into the chassis of a DAF CF is larger than that of a DAF XF.
At the front, remove the plastic cover in the grille and insert the pins into the hole, turnthe pin so that the line is horizontal. Tighten locknut and mount threaded sleeve A 11.
Pay attention to the thick nut, this must be properly tightened.

Pedestals.

The pedestal bracket is made of high-quality steel.
These pedestals are available in various sizes and versions to suit all trucks.
Increased height versions for Rotator crane or Zacklift and custom versions
available on request

With the DAF CF, the sliding bars must be turned inwards (narrow)

During towing with the VDZ adaptors, the boom and t bar must be level as tonot wear the equipment prematurely when turning.

VDZ P 25 VOLVO FH and Renault T
At the front in the grille, remove the left and right plastic grille part with a small screwdriver. Turnthe pin into the thread with oil and fix VDZ P 25 to the end with the small spanner wrench. (A50)

VDZ P 25 Renault/ VOLVO FH/FM8.
VDZ P 24 DAF XF/CF 2013 onwards
Remove the plastic cover at the front left and right.

Screw the pin in the front (turn the pins in with a little oil)

9.
VDZ TRA 01 Spreader bar. (pinned version)
The pinned spreader beam is suitable for 7 different chassis models.
The cross beam must be used during winching where part VDZ A 12 is used.

3m.

10.
VDZ A 12Winch adaptors with holes.
The winch heads are screwed to the VDZ thread / pin end at the front, making
sure the thread is clean and lightly lubricated before use. During winching,
the winch heads VDZ A 12 must be able to turn freely at all times, so do nottighten the lock nut!
Pay attention during winching from the side. Horizontal side winching exerts
more force into the VDZ adaptor. When winching from the side, the force ofboth the VDZ Pin and the chassis is increased always use the crossbar whenwinching forces are not calculated. Do not exceed a maximum of 3.5 tons ofsideways winching and always use the crossbar when winching.

Never winch on one VDZ adaptor only, always use both adaptors withappropriate slings/chains !!!!

11.
VDZ P70 SCANIA R and S Models from 2017 onwards.
The new R and S series Scania have no tow eyes mounted in the front chassis,as with the previous model, an adapter has been made which is screwed tothe front of the chassis with 3 Allen bolts.
These Allen bolts are made of high quality steel and must be fitted with100 Nm. Tightened with hand tools only (1/2” Ratchet), please do not tighten
with a pneumatic or electric hammer gun
Advice: always use the threaded spreader bar with the new model S and R
Scania when towing (model VDZ TRAV SCANS-S)Instruction: at the front of the grille open plastic caps with a screwdriver
remove adapter with Allen screws.

Tighten with 100nm, do not use an air/electric hammer gun.

12.
Extra accessories
VDZ AK-01
Tow bar coupling suitable for mounting on all model variants of the VDZ pinadaptors

x. Fasten the lock nut securely

13.
VDZ KT110 Front axle securing chains.
These front axle securing chains are suitable for lifting the axle from theground during lifting. The chains are a combination of chain and steel wire.

Advantages of using the axle chains allow the operator to run the casualty
vehicle lower to the floor if overall running height is an issue, especially inmainland Europe where height restrictions apply. The Steel wire has built insecurity and breaks above 3 tons. (this allows trucks with front air suspension
to break the wire if the operator doesn’t release the air from the fontsuspension bellows before lifting)* Note – when using axle securing chains, lower the front
suspension to the floor, attach securing chains and turn off air supply to front
air bellows, lift with tow truck.

14.
VDZ SHP05 Key holder
The key holder is made of plastic for mounting on the dooror can be mounted inside the tow truck lockers.

VDZ LB054. Light bar support.
This support can be used to mount a rear facing lighting board using the VDZpins, it acts as a light bar holder

15.
VDZ VH 001
Fork holder set. The fork holders fit on the pivot bars of the pedestals andcan be used in combination with any standard type forks

Photo follows:
Winch plates, these are in 4 different versions.
These winch plates are suitable for lateral winching on a chassis.
VDZ WP 10/1 width 10 cm with mouth opening from 1 cm
VDZ WP 10/2 width 10 cm with mouth opening from 2 cm
VDZ WP 20/1 width 20 cm with mouth opening from 1 cm
VDZ WP 20/2 width 20 cm with mouth opening from 2 cm

* Always attach winch plates to a location in the chassis
opposite a cross beam in the chassis, with a trailer
never at the end of the chassis. (no reinforcement).

18.
TRA SCA2627 Scania R series winch eyes. (fixed spreader bar option)
TRA SCA2627 are suitable for winching andhoisting for a Scania R series from 1998 up to and including 2018

Do NOT use the intermediate beam when winching, only when lifting.
This allows the winch eyes to swivel when winching to minimize the strain oneach winch point.
