Checking the driver's seat
DANGER
Risk of explosion!
In the various categories of trucks with
explosion protection, the driver's seat is
covered with a special antistatic conduc-
tive textile which prevents the build-up of
electrostatic charges.
– Do not use any additional seat pad-
ding such as blankets, cushions or
furs.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
– After an accident, check the driver's seat and its
attached restraining belt and check that the seat is
still securely fastened.
– Have the seat repaired by the authorised service
centre if you identify any damage during the
checks.
– Check the seat adjustment mechanism for
correct operation.
– Check the condition of the seat (e.g. wear
on the upholstery) and the secure fastening
to the hood.
