Safety notes to be checked before and
after each journey and when in use
WARNING
Check that the carrier units and the load to be transpor-
ted are securely attached:
◆ Before the start of every journey,
◆ After approx. 10 km of the journey,
◆ approx. every 300 km on good roads
◆ Frequently on poor roads (due to vibration),
◆ Regularly to make sure that there has been no move-
ment/displacement.
If the carrier units are not checked to make sure that they
are secure and to check whether any fasteners need
tightening, they could work loose and parts may there-
fore be lost, despite installation being carried out proper-
ly – risk of accident!
In the event of a change in position, drive at a reduced
speed until the next opportunity to stop safely and then
re-tighten the bolted connections and fixtures on the car-
rier units.
