especially if theve hicle is in motion. #
Always switch off the engine before
opening theta ilgate. #
Never drive with theta ilgate open. &
WARNING Risk of injury from unsecured
objects in theve hicle
When objects are unsecured or inadequately
secured, they can slip, tip over or be thro wn

bly outside theve hicle. &
WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ctly positioned load
The centre of gr avity of the load can be too
high and/or toofa rto wa rdsth ere ar.
This can significantly impair handling as well
as steering and braking characteristics. #
Always make sure that the cent reof
gr av ity of the load is between the axles
and as low as possible near there ar
axle. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
exc eeding the permissible wheel/axle
loads or the gross vehicle weight
The driving characteristics, as well as steering
and braking, may be greatly impaired. Over‐
loaded tyres may overheat and bur stas a
