Safety Regulations
Braking
The driving speed must be selected so that there is always an
adequate braking distance in front of the truck. It should be
noted in this respect that the pure braking distance increases
at a higher rate of speed and that the drive wheels may spin or
the truck may overturn in case of sudden braking.
Gradients
• Always reduce your speed and drive with special care on
grades.
• Always keep the load fixed if you drive on grades.
• With restricted visibility always seek assistance when travel-
ling on grades.
• Do not turn when going up or down a grade. Never drive
diagonally across the grade. The truck can easily roll over in
this case.
• Grades should always have a sufficiently rough surface. For
smooth, and even travel avoid any load contact with the
ground.
• Grades used by trucks shall not exceed the limits specified
by the manufacturer.
