Towed load

DANGER
There is an increased risk of accident when using a
trailer.
Using a trailer changes the truck handling charac-
teristics. When towing, operate the truck such that
the trailer train can be safely driven and braked at
all times. The maximum permissible speed when
towing is 5 km/h.
– Do not exceed the permissible speed of 5 km/h.
– Do not couple the truck in front of rail vehicles.
– The truck must not be used to push any kind of
trolley.
– It must be possible to drive and brake at all times.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load for occasional towing
is the rated capacity specified on the nameplate.
Overloading can lead to component damage on the
truck. The sum of the actual towed load and the
actual load on the fork must not exceed the rated
capacity. If the towed load present corresponds to
the rated capacity of the truck, it is not permitted to
transport a load on the fork at the same time. The
load can be distributed between the fork and the
trailer.
– Check the load distribution and adjust it to
correspond to the rated capacity.
– Observe the permissible rigidity value of the tow
coupling.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to components!
The maximum towed load only applies when towing
unbraked trailers on a level surface (maximum
deviation +/- 1%) and on firm ground. The towed
load must be reduced if towing on gradients. If
necessary, notify the authorised service centre of
the application conditions. The service centre will
provide the required data.
– Inform the authorised service centre.
