Procedure if truck tips over
DANGER
If the truck tips over, the driver could fall out and
slide under the truck with potentially fatal conse-
quences. There is a risk to life.
Failure to comply with the limits specified in these
operating instructions, e.g. driving on unacceptably
steep gradients or failing to adjust speed when cor-
nering, can cause the truck to tip over. If the truck
starts to tip over, do not leave the truck under any
circumstances. This increases the danger of being
hit by the truck.
– Do not release your seat belt.
– Never jump off the truck.
– You must adhere to the rules of behaviour if the
truck tips over.
Rules of behaviour if truck tips over:
– Hold onto the steering wheel with your
hands.
– Brace your feet in the footwell.
– Bend your upper body over the steering
wheel.
– Bend your body against the direction of the
fall.
Emergency hammer
The emergency hammer is used to rescue the
driver if he is shut inside the cab in a hazard-
ous situation, for example if the truck has top-
pled over and the cab door cannot be opened.
Single-pane safety glass can be struck rela-
tively safely using the emergency hammer in
order for the driver to escape or be rescued
from the danger area.
