up to 5 degrees), it may be necessary to apply truck service brakes to prevent truck
rollaway or severe injury or death to personnel could result.

Check for overhead power lines or other obstructions before attempting LHS
operation. LHS reaches a height of 17 ft. 2 in. (5.23 m) with ISO container. Serious
injury or death to personnel could result from contact with electrical power lines.

Check ground conditions for firmness and extreme sideways inclination before
picking up or off-loading a flatrack. Any ground instability beneath road wheels
could cause serious injury or death to personnel.
·
Prior to and during any load or unload cycle, all personnel should stay clear of LHS

Check that ground conditions where flatrack will be placed can support the flatrack
weight or damage to flatrack or LHS may result.
·
Ensure rail transport locking pins are disengaged before unloading flatrack. Rail
transport locking pins are used for rail transport only. Failure to comply may result
in damage to equipment.
