Driving on gradients
When driving on gradients, the load must
be positioned on the uphill side. It is only
permitted to drive on gradients which are
identified as suitable for traffic and which can
be safely negotiated. The driver must satisfy
himself that the ground is clean and provides
good grip. It is not allowed to turn or park on
gradients or to approach them at an angle.
Drive at reduced speed on slopes.

Carrying the load
WARNING
– Raise or lower the load until ground clearance is
obtained.
The load should not be so high as to block the view
to the rear. If the load does block the view to the
rear, a second person must walk next to the truck
and act as a guide while it is reversing. Only drive at
walking pace and always take extra care. The truck
must be stopped immediately if visual contact with
the guide is lost.
