Operation 5
Driving
WARNING
The use of multimedia and communication equip-
ment as well as playing these devices at an exces-
sive volume during travel or when handling loads
can affect the operator’s attention. There is a risk of
accident!
– Do not use devices during travel or when hand-
ling loads.
– Set the volume so that warning signals can still
be heard.
WARNING
In areas where use of mobile phones is prohibited,
use of a mobile phone or radio telephone is not
permitted.
– Switch off the devices.
Visibility when driving
The driver must look in the drive direction and
have a sufficient view of the driving lane.
Particularly for reverse travel, the driver must
be sure that the driving lane is clear.
When transporting goods that impair visibility,
the driver must drive the truck in reverse.
If this is not possible, a second person acting
as a guide must walk in front of the truck.
In this case the driver must only move at
walking pace and with extra care. The truck
must be stopped immediately if eye contact
with the guide is lost.
Rear-view mirrors are only to be used for
observing the road area behind the truck and
not for reverse travel. If visual aids (mirror,
monitor) are necessary to achieve sufficient
visibility, it is necessary to practise using them.
For reverse travel using visual aids, extra care
should be taken.
When using attachments, special conditions
apply; see the chapter entitled "Fitting attach-
ments".
Any glass (variant, e.g. windscreen) and
mirrors must always be clean and free of ice.
