Dear reader,
This brochure is intended for the use of technical

personnel familiar with the service and maintenance
of Mercedes-Benz trucks.
The content of this brochure is subdivided into

• Vehicle description
• Function descriptions
• Repair and adjustment work
• Wiring diagrams
The brochure is not stored in this form in WIS. It

provides basic information about the Actros heavy-
duty transporter (SLT) model designation 934 and is
not intended for use in diagnosing technical problems.
For such needs, the Workshop Information System
(WIS) and the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) are
available as usual.
The function description, the repair and adjustment

These steered rigid axles with straight or offset forged
axle housings are primarily installed with internally
ventilated disk brakes (optionally available with drum
brakes) and with either air or steel suspension. The
brakes are actuated electropneumatically; vehicles
with disk brakes include ABS and the brake wear indi-
cator as standard equipment.

Axles
Leading axle
As optional equipment the Titan company can install

an air-sprung leading axle on the heavy-duty trans-
porter (SLT). Two variants of these leading axles are
available:
The 7.5 t leading axle and the 8 t leading axle.
The steerable and liftable leading axle is a non-driven
axle and is installed in front of the driven rear axle. Its
design and construction are the same as those of a
stub front axle with air suspension. This axle can be
lifted for a short time when the vehicle is empty or
partially laden.
Air-sprung leading axle
The leading axle features a mechanical steering

linkage. The axle combine the load capacity of a three-
axle chassis with the tire-preserving construction of a
two-axle chassis.
This also helps to improve fuel economy. At the same
time it reduces the turning circle and thus improves
maneuverability and handling.
It is therefore recommended especially for vehicles
whose bodies have a center of gravity towards the
rear.
The ability to lift the axle helps to improve active
safety (e.g. when starting off under difficult condi-
tions, on slippery ground or on wintry roads).
Lifting the leading axle increases the traction at the
drive axle.

Torque and power transmission
Torque converter
Function
The torque converter consists of the impeller (P), the
turbine wheel (T) and the stator (L), which form a
closed system. The torque converter is driven directly
by the engine and converts the mechanical energy
from the engine into hydrodynamic energy.
The ratio of turbine moment to pump moment is called
the conversion factor (torque increase). The torque
increase rises as the rpm difference between the
impeller (P) and the turbine wheel (T) increases. The
maximum conversion factor occurs when the turbine
wheel (T) is stationary.
The conversion factor decreases as the turbine speed
(drive speed) increases. When the rpm ratio between
the turbine wheel (T) and the impeller (P) reaches L Stator
P Impeller
approx. 80 %, the torque stops increasing.
T Turbine wheel
The torque converter is now bridged by the torque
converter lockup clutch and the drive torque corre-
sponds to the engine torque.
The torque converter is bridged by automatically
closing the torque converter lockup clutch at a prede-
termined turbine wheel/engine rpm ratio of approx.
0.8.
The drive power now acts directly on the manual trans-
mission without torque increase and without slip.
