WARNING

Before positioning hydraulic selector switch in man transit position, direction of

MRP movement (load or unload) must be known. Failure to comply may result in

injury or death to personnel.

NOTE

•

If MRP load center of gravity is over vehicle, MRP will return to transport position.

If MRP

and load center of gravity is over rear of vehicle, MRP will lower to

ground.

•

Under certain circumstances, an assist vehicle may be needed to aid in pulling MRP back

if dug in.

•

Ground conditions will determine if MRP rolls/slides across ground or digs in.

In event of

digging in, operator should stop electrical override button operation.

If this condition

exists, the MRP will have to be unloaded manually.

3.

Turn hydraulic selector switch (3) to MAN TRANSIT position.

WARNING

Use extreme caution during override procedure operation.

Failure to comply may

result in injury or death to personnel.

NOTE

In event of MRP returning to transport position on vehicle during override procedure

operation, the operation continues until LHS movement stops.

4.

As MRP unloads, operator continues using override procedure by allowing hydraulic selector switch (3)

to remain in MAN TRANSIT position. Unloading of MRP and payload will continue until load is on

ground.

NOTE

Hydraulic selector switch must be in MAN TRANSIT position when driving vehicle.

5.

Put ignition switch (2) in OFF position.
