Warning notes
Danger of fatal or severe injury due to rolling over of the vehicle.
Almost all fire fighting vehicles have systematical high points of gravity;
additionally, they are typically loaded to a point just below their permissible
total weight. Incorrect driving (even in emergency response situations) can
lead to rolling over of the vehicle.
Perform all steering movements carefully when traveling at high
speeds.
When driving on dirt tracks or off-road, drive slowly and extremely
cautiously.
Avoid driving over obstacles at high speed.
If the vehicle threatens to tip on a slope, steer in downhill direction
immediately to improve the vehicle’s stability.
Danger of fatal or serious injury!
Breathing apparatus fixtures and harnesses in the cabin do not replace the
standard installed safety seat belts.
While driving the vehicle, the breathing apparatus must be in storage.
Only when vehicle is stationary, open the breathing apparatus fixture
and remove the breathing apparatus.
During yearly inspection of the vehicle and especially after each use,
check breathing apparatus fixtures for proper function.
Always use your seat belts.
Danger of crushing by loads suspended on booms or swiveling
devices.
Do not linger under suspended loads.
Danger of crushing and sheering of limbs due to moving or rotating
parts!
Do not reach into or grasp moving or rotating parts.
Observe a safety distance to the danger zone.
Use protective equipment.
Danger of explosion due to flammable fuel!
During work on the fuel system, fuel can ignite and cause potentially fatal
injuries.
Do not smoke.
Keep fuel away from open flame.
When handling fuel, always keep a fire extinguisher at hand.
