The climbing aids increase traction and safety against lateral slipping. However, the climbing aids cannot guarantee absolute protection against lateral or other slipping or against the vehicle tipping over!
The driver (m/f/d) of the tracked crawler vehicle must always check and ensure the following before and each time the climbing aids are used:
- that the assembly and use of the climbing aids on the tracked crawler vehicle does not exclude or restrict its operating license or lead to impermissible or safety-relevant functional impairments,
- that the climbing aids are installed correctly and securely (the check must be carried out before each use!),
- that the local conditions and the subsoil allow the use of climbing aids, and
- that the use of the climbing aids does not pose any danger to third parties.
When using the climbing aids, the driver of the tracked crawler vehicle must always ensure that the crawler vehicle is not in danger of slipping or tipping over.
The user of the tracked crawler vehicle is solely responsible for the safe and permitted use of the climbing aids.
