Rear Axle Switch/Sensor (For Roll Bar): Description and Operation
Rear axle switch (S83/2,S83/3) Version up to 05/95
The rear axle switches are located on the left and right sides on the spring links for the rear axle. They detect critical driving situations (e.g. rear axle
suspension completely extended, rear wheels lifted), which can lead to rolling over.
They are designed as normally closed switches. The rear axle switches have two positions each and are labeled.
Operation
In this position the rear axle switch is ready for operation (movable).
Arrested
In this position the rear axle switch is open and arrested mechanically. This position is necessary for adjustment of the rear axle switch.
