A Boge Hydromat levelling  unit is located  in the  centre 
of  the rear  axle. 
When  the vehicle  is unladen  the  levelling unit  has little 
effect.  The 
unit is self-energising  and hence  the vehicle 
has  to be  driven  before  the unit  becomes  effective, the 
time  taken  for this to  happen  being dependant  upon the 
vehicle  load,  the  speed at which  it is  driven  and  the 
roughness  of the  terrain  being crossed. 
If the  vehicle is overloaded  the  unit will fail to level...
