95XF series Threaded connections
1. THREADED CONNECTIONS
1.1 GENERAL
The vehicle components are provided with

threaded connections, which have been treated
with lubricant (dipped threaded connection).
Factory-galvanised bolts and nuts are
wax-dipped. Black annealed and phosphatised
bolts and nuts are oil-dipped. The advantage of
using dipped nuts and bolts is that friction during
tightening is reduced, so that the specified
2
pre-tension force can be accurately obtained.
The tightening torque can be reduced while the
pre-tension force remains the same.
To achieve a small spread in the pre-tension
force, the dipped threaded connection must be
tightened accurately. Therefore, always use a
reliable and accurate torque wrench.
Note:
Have torque wrenches regularly inspected and
calibrated.
To achieve the correct pre-tension when
re-using threaded connections, it is important to
clean the threaded parts thoroughly. After
cleaning, apply one drop of lubricant to the first
turn of the screw thread and one drop to the
abutting surface of the nut or bolt. If bolts and
nuts to be re-used, do not lubricate them with
anything other than engine oil. Lubricants other
than engine oil or factory-applied lubricant must
not be used under any circumstances because
of the difference in frictional coefficient.
If a locking compound was specified, no oil
should be applied to the thread.
 200424 1-1
Threaded connections 95XF series
The following applies to all threaded

connections (for both new and used
vehicles):
- in the case of standard connections, apply
the lubricant before fitting, and retighten in
accordance with the standard for dipped
bolts;
- in the case of special connections, apply
2
the lubricant before fitting, and retighten in
accordance with the values specified in the
instructions.
The instructions for using a lubricant also apply
to new bolts supplied from the warehouse. Dry
threaded connections are not permitted because
of their highly variable friction coefficients.
Please consult the workshop
manual for the specified tightening
torque.

Be careful when changing the oil. Hot oil may
cause serious injuries.
Avoid unnecessary contact with drained oil.
Frequent contact damages the skin.
Various kinds of oil and other lubricants used on
the vehicle may constitute a health hazard.
This also applies to engine coolant, windscreen
washer fluid, refrigerant in air-conditioning
systems, battery acid and diesel fuel.
So avoid inhalation and direct contact.
When carrying out operations under the cab,
make sure the cab is fully tilted and locked.

Safety instructions 95XF series
To avoid the risk of fire, the engine and its

surroundings should be kept free of inflammable
fluids.
If an engine encapsulation is present, the
encapsulation panels must be thoroughly
cleaned after each inspection interval in view of
the risk of fire if the inside of the panels should
be dirty.
Always disconnect the earth connection of the
battery before working on the vehicle.
Always use stands to support the chassis or
components when working under the vehicle.
Always charge batteries in a properly ventilated
area and avoid sparking and naked flames.
Fast-charging should only be resorted to in an
emergency. When fast-charging, the battery
positive and negative leads (+ and --) must be
disconnected.

2. GENERAL
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This maintenance manual describes all relevant

maintenance activities. It also contains safety
instructions, which must be strictly observed.
Activities not described in this manual, e.g.
overhaul, fault-finding, etc., are described in the
DAF workshop instructions.
This maintenance manual assumes that the
mechanic is sufficiently experienced and will
have had sufficient instruction or training to carry
out the maintenance activities in a responsible
and safe manner.
The technical data and notes on the
maintenance activities have been compiled with
the utmost care.
2.2 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

5
The technical information in this maintenance
manual, such as notes on maintenance activities
and technical data required to carry out the
maintenance activities in a responsible manner,
was up-to-date at the time this manual went to
press.
DAF reserves the right to make changes without
prior notice.
Note:
Important changes relating to technical
information which are not contained or could not
be contained in this maintenance manual will be
published in a TI (Technical Information Sheet).

2.3 WARNING SYMBOL
When text is accompanied by the warning

symbol shown here, the information provided is
essential for the health and personal safety of
the mechanic.
This warning symbol is also shown if
circumstances threaten the safety of the vehicle
or could lead to damage to the vehicle.
M0015
2.4 ENVIRONMENT
By carrying out the maintenance activities in a
5
professional manner, on time and at regular
intervals, you will help reduce the impact on the
environment.
This means, for example, noticing and
remedying possible leakages in time and
keeping the engine in an optimum condition
(adjusting valves, replacing air filter element
etc.), thus reducing the emission of harmful
exhaust gases.
It should be noted that oils and fluids contain
harmful substances that have a negative impact
on the environment.
That is why you should take care that drained
oils and fluids, but also discarded oil and fuel
filters, are collected in separate receptacles or
containers.
In short: Maintenance activities must be
carried out in an environmentally conscious
manner.

2.5 PARTS
All DAF parts and components have been

carefully attuned to each other, a decisive factor
in ensuring the original DAF quality.
It is only logical, therefore, that the original DAF
quality can best be maintained if original DAF
parts and components are used when replacing
parts or components.
As far as maintenance activities are concerned,
you should think of windscreen-wiper blades,
air-dryer elements, gaskets, V-belts and filters.
If, for example, non-original DAF filters are used,
the engine will be insufficiently protected against
microscopically small airborne dust particles, G000067
almost imperceptible metal swarf in the oil and
contaminated fuel, resulting in:
- premature replacing of cylinders, pistons,
bearings, valves, injector pump and other
moving parts
- reduced engine performance
5
- increased fuel consumption.
Therefore, always use original DAF parts and
components.

General 95XF series
2.6 MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
- When carrying out maintenance activities

on the vehicle, it is important that the work
is performed under the cleanest possible
conditions.
Filler caps, lubricating points, level check
and drain plugs should be cleaned before
and after maintenance activities.
- When excessive leakage has been detected
at oil seals and/or components, or in case of
excessive oil-level decreases, a report
should be made and the cause should be
remedied.
- It is important to check the exhaust ports of
the gearbox, transfer case, rear axle and
driven front axle regularly for fouling and
blocking.
If the breathers are blocked by dirt,
overpressure could cause leakage.
5 - Depending on the circumstances in which
the vehicle is used, e.g. on very bad roads
or construction sites, important bolt
connections such as the fifth wheel, spring
suspension, U-bolts, trailer coupling,
steering box attachment, superstructure
attachments etc. should be inspected more
often and, if required, be retightened.
- It is important that a visual inspection and
test run are carried out following the
maintenance activities.
Particular attention should be paid to
components directly related to driving
safety.
- Consult the DAF workshop instructions
when welding at and/or drilling in the
chassis.
Welding to and/or drilling in wrong spots of
the chassis will cause the material to
weaken.
2-4  200424

95XF series General
- Always make sure that when welding at the

vehicle the alternator wiring and the positive
and negative battery leads are
disconnected.
Position the earth clamp as close as
possible to the weld location. The earth
clamp must never be attached to a rotating
component such as propeller shaft, hub, fan
etc.,
nor on an autonomous operating
component in which there are rotating parts
such as the compressor, turbo etc..

3.4 INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT, HEADLIGHT SETTING
Checking the headlight setting

Note:
In view of the required precision we advise you
to use the correct optical and electronic
adjustment equipment, and always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and advice.
If the correct equipment is not available, the
setting of the headlights (dipped beam) can be
checked as follows:
- The dipped beam should have a downward
slant of 1%, which means that when it is
projected on a board or wall at a distance of
10 metres, the light-dark division should be
10 cm below the centre height of the
headlamp.
1. When checking the headlight setting
(dipped beam) the vehicle must carry no
load and the tyres should have the
prescribed tyre pressure. 5
2. Ensure that the vehicle is standing on a flat
and level surface.
3. Make sure that when checking the headlight
setting, the rotary knob for the headlight
adjustment, if available, is in its central “0”
position.
Adjusting the headlight setting

1. Adjust the headlights using two adjusting 2
bolts which can be reached through the
openings in the headlight rim.
Adjusting bolt (1) changes the vertical
adjustment of the beam and adjusting
bolt (2) the horizontal adjustment.

3.19 CHECKING THE STEERING GEAR PIPES AND CONNECTIONS
1. Condition of the pipes

- Check all pipes for tightness and wear.
When one or more supply pipes is
subject to negative pressure, it is
especially likely that porous pipes will
give rise to faults (air in the system).
- If in doubt, always replace the pipe.
2. Pipe connections
- Check each pipe connection for leaks.
3. Pipe routing
- Pipes must not be twisted during fitting.
A mark (sometimes in the form of text)
can be put on the hose to make it
easier to carry out this check.
- Pipes must not touch other
components (to prevent chafing).
- Pipes should not bend sharply; this
applies especially to the flexible suction
-
and delivery pipes.
Pipes must not be pinched off by other 5
components.

present) does not come into contact with
the ends of the threaded end.
4. Screw the thrust washer (8) onto the
threaded spindle.
5. Fit the spring retainer (3), spring (4) and
thrust sleeve (6) into bracket (1).
Fit the locking screw (5). It should be
possible to move the thrust sleeve (6) freely.
Note:
Fit the correct thrust sleeve (6).
The thrust sleeve (6) must abut the rim of
the steering ball joint (7).
6. Loosen thrust bolt (2) until the flange of the
thrust sleeve (6) abuts the bracket (A = 0

9. Measure the play “A” between the thrust

sleeve and the bracket using a feeler
gauge. Compare the measured play with
the maximum allowable steering ball joint
play. See “Technical data”.
If necessary, replace the steering ball joint.
3.21 CHECKING THE BRAKE COMPONENTS/BRAKE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
While operating the service brake, check

whether any leaks occur in the brake system.
If the brake system of a vehicle has been
charged to the maximum pressure, it should
generally be possible to drive the vehicle after a
period of 16 hours of uninterrupted standstill,
without having to first charge the brake system
to sufficient operating pressure.
This comes down to a maximum pressure drop
of approx. 0.4 bar per hour at a normal system
pressure.
Note: 5
Auxiliary consumers and accessories must
always be connected to circuit 4.

2. Measure the position when the brakes are

applied, L2 (minimum brake system
pressure 6 bar).
3. Calculate the brake adjuster travel L3 (L3 =
L2 – L1). Compare the calculated value to
the specified value, see “Technical data”. L2
4. If the brake adjuster travel differs

considerably from the specified value, take
the following action:
- Check whether the control plate (1) is M6101
locked in respect of the fixed bracket.
If not, turn the control plate as far as
possible (until the internal stop is felt) in
the direction in which the brake

5.8 FILLING THE GREASE SUPPLY OF THE AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION

SYSTEM
1. Remove the dust cover from the filler

coupling (1).
2. Connect the filler line to the filler coupling.
Ensure that the filler line is completely filled
with grease so that no air bubbles can get
into the system.
3. Fill the reservoir to the specified maximum
level.
Note:
When filling the reservoir, the air above the
follower piston will escape.
This air will flow downward through an
opening in the piston tube and escape from
the pump through the right--angled coupling.
A small amount of grease will usually
escape from this coupling during bleeding.
4. Connect the filler line to the filler coupling.

 200424 6-5

6.6 CLEANING THE VEHICLE
Note:
Before cleaning the vehicle, check the engine,
axles, gearbox, etc. for evidence of leakage.
Having cleaned the vehicle, it will no longer be
possible to check for leaks during the
maintenance activities.
- Make sure that doors, windows and roof
hatch are securely closed during cleaning.
- When cleaning the universal joint on the
steering box, the spider seals may be
forced open by the high-pressure jet of
water, so that the grease behind them is
flushed away. As a result, the spider may
get stuck, so that the steering will “jam”.
- A bleed screw is fitted to the power steering
fluid reservoir of the steering gear. Water
may enter the power steering reservoir via
5 the vent, which will cause damage to the

steering gear.
- When cleaning the radiator/intercooler
element, be careful not to damage the fins.
- Do not direct the high-pressure cleaner jet
too long at the air-conditioning system
condenser. As a result of the high
temperature, the pressure in the system will
rise too high, which may cause damage to
the system.
- Make sure that no water can enter the
differential and gearbox via the vents.
6-6  200424

- Make sure that no water can enter via the

reservoir vents of clutch, brakes, trailing
axle, etc.
- The engine and engine compartment can
be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner.
Make sure in this case not to spray directly
onto seals, electrical components, such as
the starting motor, alternator, etc.
- When cleaning UPEC engines with a
high-pressure cleaner, do not aim the jet
directly at the pump units. Water could
penetrate into the protective covers via the
vent holes. This could result in faults in the
electrical connections of the pump units.
- If an engine encapsulation is present, the
encapsulation panels must be thoroughly
cleaned after each inspection interval in
view of the risk of fire if the inside of the
panels should be dirty.
- Do not direct the jet of water at electrical
connections such as connectors, cable 5
plugs of the vehicle lighting system, etc.
- Make sure that during cleaning the vehicle
no water enters into the air-intake system
through the air intake of the flexible seals of
the inlet.
- Do not aim the jet of water directly at the
gear-lever unit.
- Do not point the high-pressure cleaning jet
directly at the driving shaft seals, such as
the seals of the spider, intermediate bearing
and sliding joint.
- When the vehicle has been cleaned, it must
be lubricated again with a grease gun or via
the automatic lubrication system. This is
important because it prevents the
penetration of moisture and dirt at the
various pivots.
