AVERTISSEMENT
Charge maximale dans la caisse : 136 kg (300 lbs)
Charge maximale du véhicule : 327 kg (721 lbs)
Une charge ou une remorque peut nuire à la maniabilité et
à l’équilibre du véhicule.
Lors du transport d’une charge ou lors du remorquage :
Lire le Manuel du propriétaire avant de charger le véhicule,
de tirer ou de remorquer une charge.– Ne pas dépasser la limite de charge nominale pour la caisse
de chargement, le timon et 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.– Arrimer solidement toute charge – un article mal arrimé
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.– Ne tirer ni ne remorquer aucun objet d’un point autre que la
fixation du timon ou le treuil (le cas échéant).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.
Aucun passager

chargement
