There may be fastening rails on the side panels for securing loads. The maximum permissible tensile load on the
fastening rails is 100 daN (daN = decanewton. 1 daN corresponds to 10 newtons).

—Guide the buckle strap around the load→ Fig. 1 and secure to the fastening rings(arrows).
WARNING
Incorrect use of fastening rails on the side panels can cause severe or fatal accidents.
● The weight of the load secured to the side panel must not exceed 100 kg.
● Use only buckle straps with a maximum load rating of 100 daN(100 kg).
● Never use ratchet straps to secure loads to the side panels.
● Secure the load to the fastening rails only using fastening rings. Observe the instructions of the fastening ring
manufacturer.
● Fix the fastening rings on the fastening rails as close to the load as possible.
● Buckle straps must never be fixed between the side panels. Only shoring beams may be fitted between the left
and right-hand fastening rails. Follow the instructions provided by the shoring beam manufacturer.
● Never use fastening rails with fastening rings to secure the load across the vehicle.
