Automatic / mechanical folding gate
CAUTION!
A faulty folding gate can cause
accidents
Never use the truck with a non-
functional folding gate. Have the folding
gate checked by authorised specialist
personnel after an accident. Do not
modify the folding gate.
Closing the folding gate does not
release the driver from his responsibility
to wear a seat belt, (see "Seat Belt" on
page 94).
Hazardous situations
If the truck is about to tip over, do not loosen the seat belt. The driver must not jump
off the truck. The driver must lean his upper body over the steering wheel and hold
on with both hands. Tilt your body in the opposite direction of fall.
