Driving
4.1.
General
The vehicle has been authorised in accordance with the national road traffic rules.
For driving on public roads, the cane must be brought in the so-called
transport position
.
When driving and manoeuvring, the driver must be beware of the unusual shape, size, mass and
handling characteristics of the vehicle:
The height of the vehicle:
-
Watch out for low passages and low-hanging objects;
The width of the vehicle:
-
At narrow passages it can cause traffic disruption;
Parts of the crane, which protrude at front and rear;
The mass of the vehicle:
-
Watch out with a.o. bridges, embankments and viaducts on possible weight restrictions;
Axle load: in countries with rules according EEC, axle loads higher than 12 tonnes for driving on
public roads are not allowed.
CAUTION!
The driver of the vehicle shall at all times comply with the applicable directives and
traffic regulations.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the indicated weights, dimensions and axle loads are applied and
not exceeded by actual loads.
CAUTION!
The rear of the vehicle swings during cornering.
CAUTION!
When the driver drives on public roads with axle loads above 12 tonnes, then the
driver has the full responsibility.
CAUTION!
Follow the prescribed axle load and the total weight!
By exceeding the axle load and the total weight, the
braking power will be reduced
.
The wear on the brake linings and the chance that the brakes overheat will
increase. Also the service brake, parking brake and the steering mechanism no
longer meet the requirements. The
service life
of parts, which are overloaded by
larger axle loads (such as brakes, tyres, rims, axles, drive components,
suspension and steering mechanism) becomes shorter.
