Towed load
DANGER
There is an increased risk of accident when using a
trailer.
Using a trailer changes the truck handling character-
istics. When towing, operate the truck such that the
trailer train can be safely driven and braked at all
times. The maximum permissible speed when towing
is 5 km/h.
–
Do not exceed the permissible speed of 5 km/h.
–
Do not couple the truck in front of rail vehicles.
–
The truck must not be used to push any kind of
trolley.
–
It must be possible to drive and brake at all times.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load for occasional towing is
the rated capacity specified on the nameplate. Over-
loading can lead to component damage on the truck.
The sum of the actual towed load and the actual
load on the fork must not exceed the rated capacity.
If the towed load present corresponds to the rated
capacity of the truck, it is not permitted to transport a
load on the fork at the same time. The load can be
distributed between the fork and the trailer.
–
Check the load distribution and adjust it to corre-
spond to the rated capacity.
–
Observe the permissible rigidity value of the tow
coupling.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load only applies when towing
unbraked trailers on a level surface (maximum devi-
ation +/- 1%) and on firm ground. The towed load
must be reduced if towing on gradients. If necessary,
notify the authorised service centre of the applica-
tion conditions. The service centre will provide the
required data.
–
Inform the authorised service centre.
