LOADING - Continued
b.
Move joystick (7) to LOAD position and lift FRS approximately 3 ft. (91 cm) off
ground.
c.
Release joystick (7).
CAUTION
Engine speed must be at idle before using hydraulic selector switch,
or damage to equipment may result.
d.
Turn hydraulic selector switch (6) to AUTO.
e.
Continue with Step (15).
WARNING
When loading or unloading flatracks/FRS on uneven ground (side slope
or downgrades up to 5 degrees), it may be necessary to apply vehicle
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 determine if payload is
evenly distributed on flatrack or if flatrack load exceeds 25,000 lbs.
(11 350 kg) for LHS or 24,000 lbs (10 896 kg) for LHS with CHU kit.
If any of these conditions exist, operator must redistribute or reduce
the payload, or damage to equipment may occur.
Load must be evenly distributed on the pallet. Uneven load
distribution may cause LHS OVER LOAD indicator to give false
signals and cause 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 redistribute or reduce
payload weight, or equipment damage may occur.
Ensure that parking brake is not applied before starting load
sequence, or damage to equipment may occur.
