Failure to comply with the recommended
body size may result in overload and
constitute a danger to the driver,
possibly resulting in permanent damage
caused by an unhealthy posture and
excessive physical exertions on the part
of the driver.
The owner must ensure that the truck
operator does not exceed the maximum
body size indicated.
The owner must also check that the
drivers can sit normally, in an upright
position without having to exert himself.
