Transporting
3
The load's overall center of gravity
should be as low and central as possible,
between the axles near the rear axle.
For crewbus models:
̈ Always transport loads in the load
compartment.
̈ Always place loads flush against the
seat backrests of the rear bench
seat.
̈ Slide larger and heavier loads as far
forward as possible when looking in
the direction of travel. Stack items
against each other behind the rear
bench seat.
̈ Always secure loads with suitable
transport aids or lashing materials.
Load distribution
! CAUTION
Excessive loads on individual points
of the load compartment floor or load
surface have a negative effect on
handling characteristics and could
damage the floor covering.
i
Observe the following notes:
ț Do not stack loads higher than
the upper edge of the backrests.
ț Transport loads behind seats that
are not occupied.
ț If the rear bench seat is not occu-
pied, insert the seat belts in a
crosswise pattern into the oppo-
site belt buckles.
