Driving safety rules
Behaviour when driving
The driver must drive the truck within the
plant according to regulations for driving on
public roads. The speed of the truck must be
appropriate for local conditions. For example,
speed must be reduced when cornering, in
narrow passages, when driving through swing
doors, in areas with reduced visibility and/or on
uneven ground. A safe distance must always
be maintained from people and any vehicles in
front. Sudden braking, fast turns, overtaking
in hazardous areas or areas with poor visibility
must be avoided.
Do not sit on the truck when driving.
EXU-S 22/24 trucks are designed for opera-
tion in ride-on mode, therefore:
• Do not operate the truck when sitting.
• Never use the truck as a climbing aid.
• Never use the truck to transport persons.
• Do not lean out. Always stay within the truck
profile.
The use of a mobile phone or radiophone
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
roadway.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a clear view of the route travelled
on. 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
immediately when eye contact with the guide
is lost.
