–For the presence and contents of the onboard tool kit;

–In winter, for the presence of anti-skid chains and that they are securely fastened;

–Vehicles equipped with side guard panels and beams should be permanently provided with this equipment. At the time of removal, make sure that the locks are correctly locked and tighten the setscrews moderately.

3.In the cab

–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: check that the steering column is locked.

•Seat: check that the seat is firmly locked.

•Rearview mirrors.

•Seat belt: it is compulsory to wear one, so buckle up.

•Onboard children: comply with the laws in force.

–Before starting the engine: ensure that the gear lever is properly in neutral.

–Check that all instrument panel indications are normal (if you are not certain of what the nominal readings are supposed to be, refer to the Driving & Servicing Handbook.

–Adapt your driving style to suit your load (cant or bend, if the centre of gravity is high, etc…) to take 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…).
