Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 907 2018 Operating Instructions Manual page 267

Make sure that the load is secure before every
journey and at regular intervals during a long
journey. Adjust the load securing as necessary.
Information on how to secure loads correctly can
be obtained from the manufacturers of load
securing aids or lashing material for load-secur‐
ing, for example.
Fill spaces between the load and the load
R
compartment walls or wheel wells. For this
purpose use rigid load securing aids, such as
wedges, wooden fixings or padding.
Attach secured and stabilised loads in all
R
directions.
Use the lashing points or tie-down eyes and
the loading rails in the load compartment or
on the load surface.
Only use lashing material, such as lashing
rods or lashing nets and lashing straps, which
has been tested in accordance with current
standards (e.g. DIN EN). Always use the lash‐
ing points closest to the load; pad sharp
edges.
Loads, and heavy loads in particular, should
preferably be secured using the tie-down
eyes.

Lashing material tested in accordance with
current standards (e.g. DIN EN) is available
from any specialist company or from a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
