SAFETY AND HANDLING

SECTION 1.1 Parking, Loading and Unloading

Loading and unloading the cabin is the most safety-critical operation you will carry out. Follow these steps carefully and never rush the process. When you receive the vehicle, remove the protective plastic covers from the windows, doors and dashboard before use.

BEFORE YOU START

Is the vehicle and cabin floor flat, hard and non-slip? Is the area around the cabin clear of people? Are the support footplates free of gaps, pits and stones? Is the control cable or remote control secure and within reach? Is the vehicle brake applied and the gear in the P position? Have all the feet been visually inspected?

Loading the cabin onto the vehicle 1 The connection points differ. The feet with longer connection points go under the alcove; the shorter ones go at the door edge. 2 Raise the support legs about 10 cm above the height of the vehicle body. The cabin must sit completely level. 3 Check that every leg rests evenly on the ground. An uneven leg can cause the cabin to tip over. 4 With the jacks extended, check the cabin for front, back or side tilt and adjust the leg lengths if needed. 5 Slowly and carefully drive the vehicle underneath the cabin. 6 When the vehicle reaches the exact position, slowly retract the legs and lower the cabin onto the vehicle. 7 Attach the straps to the vehicle connection points, tension them correctly, then visually inspect every connection. Removing the cabin from the vehicle 1 Position the vehicle on level ground and bring it to a complete stop. 2 Extend the support legs evenly on both sides. 3 When the feet touch the ground, raise the cabin only a few centimetres. Do not place excessive load on the feet. 4 Slowly drive the vehicle forward, out from under the cabin.
