Driving up and down on an incline
When driving up and down on an incline,
the load must always be carried uphill. It
is only permitted to drive on inclines which
are identified as suitable for traffic and which
can be safely negotiated according to the
technical data of the truck. The driver must
satisfy himself that the ground is clean and
provides enough grip. It is not allowed to turn
on, park on or travel across inclines. Speed
must be reduced when driving down on an
incline.
