Securing loads
Important safety notes
Distribute the load on the cargo tie-down rings
evenly.
Do not tamper with or repair cargo tie-down
points, cargo tie-down rings or tie downs. Have
maintenance work as well as modifications,
installations and conversions carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop (
Ypage 27).
Observe the following notes on securing loads:
RObserve the loading guidelines (Ypage 209).
RSecure the load using the cargo tie-down
rings.
RDistribute the load on the cargo tie-down
rings evenly.
RDo not use elastic straps or nets to secure a
load, as these are only intended as an anti-slip
protection for light loads.
RDo not route tie-downs across sharp edges or corners.
RPad sharp edges for protection.
ROnly use tie downs that have been checked in
accordance with applicable standards, e.g.
lashing nets or lashing straps.
RFill the spaces between the load and the
cargo compartment walls and the wheel
housing in a form-locking way. Only use
dimensionally stable transportation aids for
this, such as chocks, wooden fixings or pad-
ding.
