WARNING!
Accident risk
The brake pattern of the truck depends largely on the ground conditions.
The driver must be aware of travel route conditions and them into account when
braking.

Allow for increased braking distance when travelling with an attached load.
Use the service brake in emergencies.

ramp operation.
The driver must instruct people to leave the hazardous area.
The driver must perform test braking.
