Loading :
Any damage due to overloading is in no case covered by manufacturer's
warranty.
.Never exceed the vehicle payload
.Check the good load distribution on the vehicle
.Check the balance of the load, good stability and
manoeuverability of the vehicle.
. Ensure during loading that no hard substance (stone, pieces of
wood, iron, etc.) is loaded into the spreader, it could cause
damage.
. When used in freezing weather check the mobility of the slats of the bed
before loading.
Transport
The spreaders are designed to travel at 32 km / h or 20 mph (see table) according to
the model. They are approved for the highway.
. Respect the highway code.
. Never leave without first checking the correct function of the
vehicle’s lighting: your safety and that of others depends on it.
. Check the inflation pressure of the tyres (see chapter
Maintenance).
. Moving across a hillside with a loaded hook lift can be
dangerous. To the extent possible, move with the axis of the slope. If not
possible, avoid driving with a load greater than 50% of the nominal load.
. For maximum safety, it is imperative not to exceed a gradient of 15%
(obstacles, ruts, ditches).
