service brakes to prevent vehicle rollaway. Failure to comply may result
in injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
•
If LHS OVER LOAD indicator illuminates but loading operation
continues, operator is cautioned that LHS is nearing maximum
capacity. In this situation, operator should notify supervisor if it
appears payload is unevenly distributed in container or if container
load exceeds 24,000 lbs (10 896 kg). If any of these conditions exist,
payload must be redistributed or reduced, or damage to equipment
may result.
•
Load must be evenly distributed in the container. Uneven load
distribution may cause the LHS OVER LOAD indicator to give false
signals and cause the LHS to operate incorrectly. Damage to
equipment may result.
•
If LHS OVER LOAD indicator illuminates and normal operation has
stopped, return load to original position and notify supervisor to have
payload redistributed or weight reduced. Failure to comply may result
in damage to equipment.
•
Ensure PARKING BRAKE is not pulled out before starting load
sequence, or damage to equipment may occur.
NOTE
•
The amount of time to load and unload is controlled by engine speed.
Engine speed can be increased to approximately 1500 rpm to reduce
loading and unloading times.
•
If container is extremely light or empty, it may be necessary to set
transmission range selector to R (reverse) and allow vehicle to roll
under container.
•
If container is not centered, and transit locks cannot be installed and
pinned, repeat Steps (39) through (52) to reposition container.
