UNLOADING - Continued
NOTE
•
No additional equipment can be stowed on or in FRS during loading/
unloading. Additional equipment could OVER LOAD LHS due to
weight of FRS.
•
When unloading FRS, engine speed must be at 1500 rpm.
•
LHS OVER LOAD indicator may illuminate when engine is at idle
speed.
5.
Move joystick (6) to UNLOAD position. Flatrack will start to move rearwards. LHS NO
TRANSIT indicator (7) will illuminate. Maintain engine speed at idle until front of
flatrack raises approximately 1 ft. (30 cm).
NOTE
The amount of time to load and unload is controlled by engine speed.
Engine speed may be increased to 1,500 rpm to reduce loading and
unloading times.
6.
Continue to unload until rear suspension starts to lift and back edge of flatrack touches
ground.
7.
Release service brake pedal (1) and allow grounded flatrack to push the vehicle
straight forward from under flatrack and clear.
8.
As front of flatrack approaches within approximately 8 in. (20.32 cm) of ground,
decrease engine speed to idle and apply service brake pedal (1).
CAUTION
Once vehicle’s rear suspension has been relieved of flatrack load, do not
continue in UNLOAD position as possibility of jacking up rear of vehicle
with hook arm may occur and damage to equipment may result.
NOTE
If flatrack is extremely light or empty, it may be necessary to place
transmission range selector to D (drive) to allow vehicle to move out from
under flatrack.
9.
Continue off-loading until flatrack main rails (8) are on ground and rear suspension is
unloaded.
