Page: 25 / 104

Stability
The stability of the truck has been tested to
the latest technological standards and is guar-
anteed provided that the truck is used properly
and according to its intended purpose. These
standards only take into account the dynamic
and static tipping forces that can arise during
specified use in accordance with the operating
rules and intended purpose. However, the
danger of exceeding the moment of tilt due to
improper use or incorrect operation and losing
stability can never be excluded.
The loss of stability can be avoided or mini-
mised by the following actions:
–
Always secure the load against slipping,
e.g. by lashing.
–
Always transport unstable loads in suitable
containers.
–
Always drive slowly when cornering.
–
Drive with the load lowered.
–
Even with sideshifts, align the load as cen-
trally as possible with the truck and trans-
port in this position.
–
Avoid turning and diagonally driving across
slopes or gradients.
–
Never have the load facing downhill when
travelling on slopes or gradients.
–
Pick up only loads of the approved width.
–
Always take great care when transporting
suspended loads.
–
Do not drive over ramp edges or steps.
