WARNING
·
Check for overhead power lines or other obstructions before attempting LHS
operations. LHS reaches a height of 18 ft. (5.5 m). Injury or death could result if
LHS contacts power lines.
·
Do not attempt loading or unloading operations on a side slope greater than 5
degrees and/or fore/aft slope greater than 20 percent. Before attempting loading or
unloading operations on slopes, determine if ground surface conditions permit safe
loading or unloading operations. Slopes that contain snow, ice, loose gravel or sand
may not permit safe loading or unloading.
·
Check ground conditions for firmness and extreme sideways inclination before
picking up or off-loading a container. 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,
front lift adapter, and container or serious injury or death may result.
CAUTION
·
Check that ground conditions where container will be placed can support the
container weight or damage to the container, front lift adapter or LHS may result.
·
Use extreme caution when loading/unloading container with side doors. Container
must remain centered during loading/unloading or flanges on side may be damaged
and/or door hinges may make hard contact with guides.
