Driving safety instructions
Behaviour when driving
The operator must obey the same rules within
the plant as he would on the road. He must
drive at a speed appropriate for the driving
conditions. For example, an operator should
drive slowly when manoeuvring around
corners, through narrow passageways and
swing doors, at blind spots, and on uneven
surfaces. He must adapt the speed to the load
and the ground. The operator must always
maintain a safe braking distance from vehicles
and persons in front of him and must always
have the truck under control. He should avoid
sudden stops, making fast U-turns, overtaking
other vehicles in potentially dangerous areas
or areas with poor visibility.
Driving the truck while s
itting on top of it is
prohibited. Climbing on
the truck is prohibited
except on the step plate
and the user detection
platform.
The KANVAN is designed t
obeusedinride-on
standing mode or pedest
rian mode; therefore:
• The truck must not be used as a stepladder.
• Do not drive on an incline. Always stay
within the truck clearance.
Using a telephone or r
adio in the truck is
permitted, but avoid
using these devices when
driving as they may di
stract you.
Take a test drive on an open surface.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the direction of travel
and have a clear view of the route travelled on.
In particular, the roadways must be sufficiently
lighted. He must always ensure that the way
is clear, particularly when reversing. When
transporting goods that obstruct visibility, the
truck must be driven with the load trailing.
If this is not possible, a guide must walk
ahead of the truck. In this case, the truck may
only be driven at walking pace and with the
utmost caution. The truck must be stopped
