WARNING
The load protection net alone cannot restrain
or secure heavy objects, luggage or heavy
loads. In the event of abrupt changes in direc-
tion, braking maneuvers or an accident, you
may be struck by unsecured loads. There is a
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always stow objects in such a way that they
cannot be tossed about. Secure objects, lug-
gage and loads to prevent them slipping or
tipping over, e.g. by lashing them down, even
when using the load protection net.
