LOADING ADVICE
The Fiat Ducato version that you are using has been
designed and type approved on the basis of certain
maximum weights (see "Weights" table in the
"Technical Data" chapter): kerb weight, payload, total
weight, maximum weight on front axle, maximum
weight on rear axle, towable weight.
Each of these must be strictly observed
and MUST NEVER BE EXCEEDED in any
case. In particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted weights on the
front and rear axles when arranging the load
on the vehicle (particularly if the vehicle is
equipped with a specific trim level).
IMPORTANT The maximum permitted load on the
floor fastenings is 500 kg; the maximum permitted
load on the side panel is 150 kg.
WARNING
Irregular trajectories and abrupt braking
may cause sudden movements of the
load with consequent situations of hazard for
the driver and passengers: before setting off,
secure the load tightly using the appropriate
hooks on the floor and use steel cables, ropes or
chains strong enough to hold the items to be
secured.
WARNING
If a vehicle is parked on a very steep
gradient or with a side gradient, opening
the rear door or side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge suddenly.
IMPORTANT For versions with right and left side
flaps, it is advisable to reposition the release lever in
the closed position before lowering the sides.
WARNING
If you wish to carry petrol in a reserve
tank, observe the legal restrictions
and only use a tank that is type approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. However, by doing so, you increase the
risk of fire in the event of an accident.
In addition to these general precautions, some simple
precautions can improve driving safety, travelling
comfort and vehicle durability:
❒
distribute the load evenly over the floor: if it is
necessary to concentrate it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
