2.7 What has not to be done with the covering
The only purpose of the covering is to “cover the load” during road travel; it must absolutely not be used to level the load.
Levelling the load using the covering constitutes improper use of the machine and the manufacturer denies any
responsibility. In the event of this kind of use, the contractual warranty expires.
The covering equipped with electric driving system has to be powered up only when the vehicle is stationary.
CAUTION!
RISK OF DAMAGING THE COVERING COMPONENTS!
It is expressly forbidden to level the material with the covering. Expiry of warranty.
WARNING!
DANGER OF DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS OF THE COVERING!
To prevent damaging the covering, do not attempt to unload the materials if the covering is not fully
open.
WARNING!
Do not power the Control Box with power supplies other than vehicle batteries
or with systems
that have not been authorized by Marcolin Covering.
WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to use the Control Box when the vehicle is moving.
The constructor declines any responsibility.
