G
Risk of injury
If you tension the lashing straps between
the side walls, or between a side wall and
the load compartment floor, the maximum
permissible load for the loading rails or lash-
ing points or eyelets could be exceeded if
the brakes are applied suddenly or the vehi-
cle's direction is changed abruptly.
The load would no longer be secured and
there is a risk of serious injuries caused by
the load slipping.
For this reason, do not tension a lashing
strap between the side walls or between a
side wall and the load compartment floor.
Only lashing rods are to be used between
the loading rails on the side walls. Observe
the operating instructions of the lashing rod
manufacturer.
i Securing loads on the load compartment
floor (floor lashing straps) is only recommen-
ded for lightweight loads and in combination
with non-slip mats (anti-slip mats).
G
Risk of injury
Before releasing the lashing straps, you
must make sure that the load can stand se-
cure and that it cannot tip over, even with-
out being secured. Otherwise, you or others
could be injured by the load slipping.
