A-2 General usage instructions for commercial vehicles Depending on your vehicle's equipment If you are a professional driver using your own vehicle, or a haulier entrusting one of your vehicles to a member of your staff, it is essential to follow and ensure the application of the following instructions. They are only a reminder of the basics of the trade and standard professional practice and in no way are to be taken as exhaustive. In this way you will obtain the maximum profit from your vehicle and prevent any risk of accidents and incidents. 1. A few basic instructions – Every driver must possess all necessary licences and should only drive when physically fit and sufficiently rested. – The vehicle must be in conformity with current legislation in the country or countries in which it is used. – Any signs indicating hazardous substances must be affixed and be in good condition. – Loads: • All-up or per-axle weights (regulatory or technical) must not be exceeded. • Loading and securing of loads must be carried out using conventional procedures, tarpaulins and side curtains must be correctly stretched and fastened and doors and sideboards locked, etc... – In the cab: • Never carry dangerous products (such as petroleum, trichlorethylene, thinner, etc.). • If an animal is carried, it must be kept away from the driving position. – Access and descent: • use the steps and the handles provided for this purpose. Never jump out of the vehicle. When descending, watch out for the traffic flow, particularly after a long period of driving, • extra care should be taken when weather conditions are bad (rain, snow, ice) or when it is dark. – USE IN CLOSED PREMISES • NEVER LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING IN CLOSED OR POORLY VENTILATED PREMISES. THE EXHAUST GASES CONTAINED EXTREMELY TOXIC CONSTITUENTS. THEIR CONCENTRATION MAY HAVE VERY SERIOUS EFFECTS ON YOUR HEALTH. A-3 2. Before getting into the vehicle, check: – the general condition of your vehicle, visually (as per handbook), A – tyre condition, tyre pressures (including spare wheel), and the absence of any foreign body between the twin wheels, – cleanliness of windows, windscreen rear view mirrors, headlights and other lights and number plates, – operation of regulatory and optional lighting systems, – correct coupling of trailer or semi-trailer (hook, brake hoses, colour coding, electrical connector...), – presence and contents of the on-board tool kit, – in winter, the presence of snow chains and that they are securely fastened. – that vehicles equipped with side guard panels and beams are permanently provided with this equipment. When removing/refitting, ensure that the locks are correctly locked and tighten the setscrews moderately. 3. When onboard – Check the condition of the non-slip foot pedal covers. – Ensure that the safety controls (steering wheel, foot pedals, gear lever etc...) are never cleaned with a slippery product like silicone). – Adjust your driving position, • steering wheel: ensure the steering column is locked, • seat: ensure it is correctly locked in place, • rear view mirrors, • seat belt: it is mandatory to wear this; use it. • child(ren) on board: comply with the legislation in force. – Before starting the engine: ensure that the gear lever is properly in neutral. – Check that all instrument panel indications are normal (if in doubt, refer to this Driving and Servicing Handbook). Analogue tachograph – Check that the driver's tachograph chart is in place in the tachograph tray and that the unit is working properly. Digital tachograph – Check that the driver's card is in tachograph slot 1. For a second driver, check that his card is in tachograph slot 2. Check that the tachograph is working properly. A-4 4. When on the road – If you notice anything abnormal in the vehicle's operation, stop and find the reason. Do not set off again unless you are certain that it represents no serious technical or safety-related threat. – When driving, the use of some of the standard-fitted equipment, and other optional or added equipment is strictly forbidden (i.e. hand-operated sun-roofs, television sets, etc...) or only permitted if all necessary precautions are taken so as not to affect road safety (cigar lighter, manual selection of radio stations, CB, onboard telephone...). – Adapt your driving style to suit your load (banking or bend, high centre of gravity, etc.), taking account of weather conditions and the time of day. If necessary, adjust the headlight beam levels. – Never shut down the engine when the vehicle is moving (as this will cut off the supply to the power-assisted steering system and could decrease brake effectiveness). 5. When parking – Check that the vehicle is correctly parked (i.e. that it does not obstruct traffic flow or threaten the security of neighbouring installations). – If the vehicle is going to remain stationary for some time, use one or more wheel chocks to prevent it from moving (e.g. semi-trailer compressed air leakage, or in black ice conditions...). – Check that: • the parking brake is locked and holds the complete vehicle still (test position), • the gear lever is in neutral, • the battery isolator(s) is (are) off, • the electromagnetic retarder is not energised, • the air vents are not blocked (independent heating), • the parking lights are switched on at night, – Do not leave in the cab: • important documents (personal, vehicle, related to the load), • animals on their own. 6. Moving away on hills – To prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when moving away on hills, it is recommended to apply the parking brake.
