WARNING
Restricted swerving range – risk of collision!
Supporting the load on the front drop side and allowing it to
project forwards reduces the swerving range when driving
around bends - accident risk!
 When the front drop side is open, do not allow the load
to project over the folded-down front drop side.

Before driving off, check that the restricted swerving
range will allow your towing vehicle to drive around
bends.
 Adjust the distribution of the load (towards the middle of
the V drawbar) if necessary, or remove the front drop
side.
