Check ground conditions for firmness and extreme sideways inclination

prior to picking up or off-loading a flatrack or container. Any ground

instability beneath road wheels may result in injury or death to personnel.

Check for overhead power lines or other obstructions prior to attempting

LHS operation. LHS reaches a height of 22 ft. 2 in. (6.7 m). Failure to

comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

CAUTION

•

Reduce speed to idle for approximately the first 18 in. (46 cm) of travel

and again when flatrack is 2 ft. (61 cm) above ground to prevent

damage to cylinder.
