DANGER
There is an increased risk of accident when using a
trailer.
Using a trailer changes the truck handling charac-
teristics. When towing, operate the truck such that
the trailer train can be safely driven and braked at
all times. The maximum permissible speed when
towing is 5 km/h.
–Donot exceed the permissible speed of 5 km/h.
–Donot couple the truck in front of rail vehicles.
– The truck must not be used to push any kind of
trolley.

CAUTION
Risk of damage to
components!
The maximum towe
d load for occasional towing
is the rated cap
acity specified on the nameplate.
Overloading ca
n lead to component damage on the
truck. The sum
of the actual towed load and the
actual load o
n the fork must not exceed the rated
capacity. I
f the towed load present corresponds to
the rated ca
pacity of the truck, it is not permitted to
transport a
load on the fork at the same time. The
load can be
distributed between the fork and the
trailer.
–Checkthel
oad distribution and adjust it to
correspond
to the rated capacity.
– Observe the
permissible rigidity value of the tow
coupling.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load only applies when towing
unbraked trailers on a level surface (maximum
deviation +/- 1%) and on firm ground. The towed
load must be reduced if towing on gradients. If
necessary, notify the authorised service centre of
the application conditions. The service centre will
provide the required data.
– Inform the authorised service centre.
