tyre pressure loss. Handling characteristics  
may be adversely affected, for example re-  
duced directional stability, longer stopping  
distance and altered steering characteristics.  
There is a risk of accident. Please comply  
with the permitted load index of the tyre, and  
do not exceed the permitted total weight.

ted axle loads are exceeded, the operational  
safety of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.  
There is a risk of accident. Do not exceed  
the permitted total weight and permitted axle  
loads.  
Wrap protective material around any sharp  
corners and edges on the load.  
Do not stack loads above the upper edge of
