Information on loading the vehicle
WARNING
Accident hazard due to incorrect loading!
Incorrect loading can cause the vehicle to tip over, for example. This may
result in accidents that could result in serious injury or death.
► Clean the vehicle before loading or transporting it.
► Use a transport vehicle with the appropriate load-bearing capacity.
► Pay attention to the vehicle’s operating weight.
► Proceed with special care when loading the vehicle in conditions of
snow and ice.
In order to avoid injury or accidents, observe the following instructions
when loading the vehicle.
• The transport vehicle must be of sufficient size. Do not exceed the
permissible maximum height.
– Refer to chapter for the weight and dimensions of the vehicle to
be loaded Technical data.
• Remove any mud, snow or ice from the tires so that the vehicle can
be safely driven onto the ramps.
• When positioning the vehicle on the loading surface, ensure that the
center of gravity of the load is as low as possible and in the longitud-
inal center line of the transport vehicle if possible.
• The permitted total weight or the axle load of the transport vehicle
must not be exceeded during loading or transportation.
• Place partial loads so as to ensure an even load on all axles of the
transport vehicle.
• In order to avoid accidents and injuries, the following instructions
must be observed when loading the vehicle.
– Usual transportation conditions are conditions in the which the
brakes are slammed on, evasive maneuvers are performed with
the vehicle or in which uneven roadways are traveled on.
– Auxiliary means are e.g. anti-slip bases and linings, load-securing
straps and chains, clamping beams, protective paddings, nets,
edge protectors, etc.
• Always use the existing tie-down points when using load-securing
straps and chains.
• Adjust travel speed of the transport vehicle.
