LOADING - Continued
CAUTION
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.
NOTE
Slight misalignment (up to 10 degrees) will not prevent LHS lift hook from
engaging flatrack hook bar.
10.
Move the joystick (6) to LOAD, engaging LHS lift hook (8) in flatrack hook bar (9) and
lift slightly.
CAUTION
Flatrack must be in contact with rear roller assembly on rear of vehicle
before flatrack rear edge comes off loading bay or dock. Failure to contact
rear roller assembly will OVER LOAD LHS components and may damage
vehicle.
11.
Release service brake pedal (1) and allow vehicle to be pulled toward dock or bay
until approximately 6 in. (15 cm) away.
12.
Apply service brake pedal (1) and move joystick (6) to LOAD position.
CAUTION
If LHS OVER LOAD indicator illuminates but loading operation continues,
operator is cautioned that LHS is nearing its 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). If any of these
conditions exist, operator must redistribute or reduce payload, or damage
to equipment may result.
If LHS OVER LOAD indicator illuminates, normal operation has stopped.
Return load to original position and redistribute or reduce payload weight,
or damage to equipment may result.
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.
13.
Continue loading until LHS NO TRANSIT indicator (7) goes out, indicating LHS load
locks have engaged.
CAUTION
Engine speed must be at idle before using hydraulic selector switch, or
damage to equipment may result.
