AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 326 kg (719 lbs)
La charge peut affecter la maniabilité et la stabilité du
véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge :
Lire le manuel du propriétaire avant de charger la benne.
– Ne pas dépasser la capacité de charge maximale pour la benne
ou le véhicule.
– Réduire la vitesse et prévoir une distance de freinage accrue.
– Négocier les virages progressivement et lentement.
– Éviter les pentes et les terrains accidentés.

pourrait nuire soudainement à la maniabilité ou être projeté
vers l’avant et heurter un occupant.
– Répartir le poids de la charge de façon équilibrée et le plus
bas possible dans la caisse; une charge mal équilibrée augmente
le risque de capotage.
Le mauvais usage de la caisse de chargement ou de l’arceau de
protection peut provoquer de graves blessures ou la mort par suite
d’une perte de contrôle, d’un capotage ou d’un accident quelconque.
