When loading or unloading flatracks on uneven ground (side slope or downgrades
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.

LHS OVER LOAD indicator to give false signals and cause LHS to operate
incorrectly.

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.
