ty of additional risks when using the truck can-
not be entirely excluded.

the regulations relating to current applicable
safety rules.

particularly cautious and react immediately in
the event of any malfunction, incident, break-
down etc.

eration that jeopardise the stability cannot be
ruled out in extreme situations.
