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 lower part of the
sides fig. 107-108; use steel
cables, ropes or chains strong
enough to hold the items to be
secured.
WARNING

Warning. The additional
devices at the top of the
sides (3 per side) are
used only to fix the cover
canvas. They must not, for any
reason, be used to fix the load.
In addition to these general
precautions, some simple
precautions can improve driving
safety, travelling comfort and vehicle
life:
– distribute the load evenly on the
platform: should it be necessary to
concentrate it in a single area,
arrange it by the partition
between the cab and load
compartment;
– remember that the lower the
load, the lower the vehicle’s
centre of gravity, making for a
safer drive: therefore always
position the heaviest goods lower
down;
– lastly, remember that the vehicle’s
dynamic behaviour is affected by
the weight transported: in
particular, the stopping distances
are longer, especially at high
speed.
