•
The suspension of the vehicle may
be raised during the loading/ un-
loading process. Because of this
reason, the vehicle height may be
bigger than the permitted height lim-
its. Always set the trailer in the driv-
ing position after loading and
unloading. Always check height lim-
its when entering tunnels and
passages.
•
Make sure that the weight or dimen-
sions of the load do not exceed the
technical and legal limits.
•
Note that vehicle stability may be af-
fected by the load distribution, the
braking distance may be longer and
a larger turning radius may be
required.
•
During loading, consider the laws of
the countries you are going to and
passing through, as well as the
laws.
•
Give attention to the maximum axle
weight and total weight.
•
Comply all national/international
laws, rules, and regulations about
loading and occupational safety.
5.4. Cautions During the Parking and
Stopping
•
Involuntary trailer movements, un-
stable posture and insufficient
safety at night may occur serious
accidents and injuries.
•
Use the parking brake and wheel
chocks while stopping.
•
If you are going to park the vehicle
in a public traffic area, you must use
the necessary marking plate in ac-
cordance with legal regulations.
5.5. Loading
•
The load must be secured so that it
does not move while the vehicle is
in motion or during sudden stops.
•
Distribute any load as low as possi-
ble on the loading floor. The load's
center of gravity must always be
above the vehicle's centerline.
•
If a roof lift or sliding roof system is
used, make sure the system is
made suitable for driving.
•
Make the tensions by making the
canvas connections securely.
•
Secure the load with brackets and
load holders and make sure it is
secure.
5.6. Important Technical
Considerations
5.6.1. Fire Extinguisher
Please check fire extinguishers periodi-
cally every year and fill them up if neces-
sary. In case of any usage of the fire
extinguishers, fill it up immediately.
Precautions to be taken in case of
fire.
Some sealing materials let out gas when
burned and these gases may become
abrasive acid in contact with water. Thus
never touch the fire extinguisher liquid
accumulations without wearing protec-
tive gloves.
