TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Sharp steering and braking, poor loading, poor maintenance and slippery road surfaces
can cause abnormal motion. Pay attention to daily maintenance and inspections, and
always concentrate on safe driving.
Abnormal Motion During Braking
Effective Use of the Various Types
of Brakes
Use the various types of brakes
appropriately to achieve stable braking.
On slippery roads and curves, avoid using
just one type of brake at a time. Particularly
on a long downward slope, you should
make effective use of the engine brake
and the exhaust brake, additionally using
the foot brakes and trailer hand brake as
necessary.
