Driving safety rules
Behaviour when driving
The driver must drive within the plant accord-
ing to the traffic rules for public roads. The
speed of the truck must be consistent with the
local conditions. Speed must be reduced, for
example, in bends, narrow passages, when
driving through swing doors, in areas where
visibility is obstructed and on uneven ground.
On uneven driving surfaces, for example, he
must always adapt the speed to the load and
the ground, keep a safe braking distance to
vehicles and persons in front of him and al-
ways keep his vehicle under control. Sudden
braking, fast turns, overtaking in hazardous or
areas with poor visibility must be avoided.
Do not drive the truck while seated. Do not
step on the truck except on the step and the
presence area of the platform.
The CX-T tractor is designed for stand-on and
pedestrian operation. Therefore:
• Never use the truck as a climbing aid.
• Do not lean out. Always stay within the truck
profile.
The use of a mobile phone or walkie-talkie
when operating the vehicle is permitted.
However, do not use these devices while
driving, as this will reduce your concentration.
First practice driving in a clear area or on a free
pavement.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a clear view of the route travelled on.
In particular, the roadways must be sufficiently
lighted. He must always ensure that the way
is clear, particularly when reversing. When
transporting goods that obstruct visibility, the
truck must be driven with the load trailing.
If this is not possible, a guide must walk
ahead of the truck. In this case, the truck may
only be driven at walking pace and with the
utmost caution. The truck must be stopped
