OPERATION
Use of the restraint is restricted to trained operators.
Before operating the vehicle restraining device,
read and follow the Safety Practices, Warnings, and
Operation instructions contained in this manual. Use
by untrained people could result in death or serious
injury.
Before chocking the wheels or engaging the vehicle
restraint, dump the air from the air ride suspensions
and set the parking brake.
Do not load or unload any vehicle unless you make
certain the Vehicle Restraint has securely hitched
the vehicle's rear impact guard and the vehicle has
set the brakes. If the Vehicle Restraint does not hitch
the vehicle's RIG for any reason, BE CERTAIN TO
CHOCK THE VEHICLE WHEELS BEFORE LOADING
OR UNLOADING.
Visually inspect the Vehicle Restraint to ensure
proper engagement. The notch on top of the hook
must wrap over the RIG. See Figure 10.
Enter the vehicle only when the green signal light
on the control box is illuminated. You must check
the green signal light each time that the vehicle is
entered. If the illuminated green light goes off at any
time during loading operations, immediately cease
loading operations and check the Vehicle Restraint to
ensure that it is securely hitched.
If power to the Vehicle Restraint is interrupted,
immediately cease operations and check the unit.
Consult the troubleshooting instructions to reset the
lights when power resumes.
Vehicles leaving or moving when loading and
unloading are in process could result in death or
serious injury.
Failure to place the hook in the stored position when
not in use could result in damage to the Vehicle
Restraint and incoming trucks. Be certain bystanders
in the driveway stand clear when the Vehicle
Restraint is operated.
