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.
