WARNING
·
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
and flatrack or serious injury or death to personnel could result.
CAUTION
·
Reduce speed to idle for approximately the first 18 in. (46 cm) of travel and again
when flatrack is 2 ft. (61 cm) above ground to prevent damage to cylinder.
·
To avoid equipment damage, insure that hook arm cylinders do not complete full
extension while operating at engine speeds above idle.
·
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.
NOTE
