case, the manufacturer is exempt from liability.
Stability
The stability of the truck has been tested to
the latest technological standards. If the truck
is used in the proper manner and in accord-
ance with its intended use, the stability of
the truck is guaranteed. These standards on-
ly take into account the dynamic and static
tipping forces that can arise when used in
accordance with the specified operating rules
and intended use. The danger of exceeding
the moment of tilt and losing stability due to
improper or incorrect operation can never be
ruled out.
The loss of stability can be avoided or mini-
mised by complying with following principles:
– Always secure the load against slipping,
e.g. by lashing.
– Always transport unstable loads in suitable
containers.
– Always drive slowly when cornering.
– Drive with the load lowered.
– On trucks fitted with a sideshift, align and
transport loads such that the load centre of
gravity is positioned centrally to the truck.
– Avoid turning and diagonally driving across
slopes or gradients.
– Never have the load facing downhill when
travelling on slopes or gradients.
– Always take great care when transporting
suspended loads.
– Do not drive over ramp edges or steps.
Special risks associated with us-
ing the truck and attachments
Approval from the manufacturer and attach-
ment manufacturer must be obtained each
time the truck is used in a manner that falls
outside the scope of normal use, and in cases
