WARNING
Risk of injury due to tension lever flap-
ping about!
The tension lever may spring back sud-
denly when tensioning the curtain. This
can result in personal injury and material
damage.
► Ensure that no persons are in the
swivelling area of the tension lever.
For quick loading and unloading of partial
loads in the front area of the load compart-
ment, it is also possible to open the side
curtain from the front. Before opening, the
tension on the side curtain must be re-
leased. Depending on the version, a cur-
tain pole or a channel rail is required to do
so.

INFO
The curtain tensioning device can be fitted
with a folding cover plate to prevent unau-
thorised opening (e.g. with a bonded seal
on the TIR Liner).
