Risk of accident

If the chassis is above the normal position
and you do not observe maximum headroom
notices when driving through underpasses,
there is a danger of the vehicle becoming
damaged. Ensure that the vehicle is not
higher than the permitted maximum head-
room when it is being driven. In Germany,
for instance, maximum vehicle height must
not exceed 4 metres (13 ft 1 in). Comply
with national legislation in other countries
(also when the vehicle is used for interna-
tional transport work).
The driving and braking properties of the ve-
hicle can be affected if chassis above nor-
mal position
A
or chassis below normal
position
B
