SAFETY REGULATIONS

17- Start or stop the vehicle with care on unlevelled
ground.
18- Do not change speed or make "U" turns along steep
slopes or on unlevelled ground.
19- Overloading is dangerous. Load the vehicle without
exceeding the maximum load capacity.
20- Do not transport any loads larger than the platform.
- Do not pile up too many high objects, since the operator's
field of vision would be reduced and the center of gravity
would be too high, causing the vehicle to easily tip over.
21- Never operate the machine in low visibility.
22- The vehicle cannot be operated on slopes exceeding
20°.
23- When moving down a slope, engage the first gear
or the reverse gear, and use the engine brake.
24- Do not drive on excessively steep slopes, or where the
vehicle could fall or roll-over.
25- When the clutch lever is released, the brake is
engaged. Do not brake or change direction suddenly
at high speed on slopes or uneven grounds, because
the vehicle could roll-over or the load could fall.
26- Park the vehicle on flat and safe grounds. Avoid
dangerous sites.
27- When you park:
- on slopes, block the vehicle by means of suitable
wedges;
- release the clutch lever and stop the engine.
