If your vehicle is equipped with
loading rails in the load compart-
ment floor, you can place lashing
rods directly in front of and behind
the load.
As the driver, you are respon-
sible for ensuring that:
• The applicable requirements and
guidelines relating to load-securing
practices must be met.
If this is not the case, this may con-
stitute a punishable offence,
depending on local legislation and
any ensuing consequences.
You should therefore observe the
respective legal requirements for
the relevant country.
- Make sure that the load is secure
before every journey and at regu-
lar intervals during a long journey.
Adjust the load as necessary

-
The load may not be
restrained.
This may cause the load to
slip, tip over or be tossed
about, striking vehicle occu-
pants. There is a risk of an
accident and injury.
Always tension the lashing
straps in the proper manner
and only between the
described lashing tie points.
Always use lashing straps
designed specifically for the
loads.
•
Observe the notes regarding
the maximum load capacity of
individual lashing points.
•
Spread the load evenly
between the lashing points or
eyelets.
