CARRYING LOADS

D

HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS.

Use extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid

terrain or situations which may require backing downhill.

D

ALL LOADS MUST BE SECURED BEFORE MOVING VEHICLE. Unse-

cured loads can create unstable operating conditions, which could result

in loss of control of the vehicle.

D

LOADS MUST BE CARRIED AS LOW ON THE RACKS AS POSSIBLE.

Carrying loads high on the racks raises the center of gravity of the ve-

hicle and creates a less stable operating condition. When cargo loads

are carried high on the racks, the weight of the loads must be reduced to

maintain stable operating conditions.

D

OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS.

When handling off-centered loads which cannot be centered, securely

fasten load and operate with extra caution.
