product and be evenly distributed with the
lowest possible centre of gravity.
●Long loads should be secured with non-

from the load prior to loading.

changing of direction, and braking
performance. Avoid rapid acceleration and
deceleration. Drive carefully.
●Note that the total height of the vehicle
increases when upright loads are carried.
