Safety
Residual risk
The manufacturer is not held responsible for
accidents involving the truck caused by the
failure of the operating company to comply
with these regulations either intentionally or
carelessly.
Stability
The stability of the truck has been tested to the
latest technological standards and is guaran-
teed 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 operat-
ing 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 min-
imised 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
centrally as possible with the truck and
transport 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.

ment manufacturer must be obtained each
