Warning
Breathing diesel engine exhaust exposes you to chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area.
If in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system.
Do not idle the engine except as necessary.

Exhaust Emissions
Never allow the truck to remain stationary in confined spaces with the engine
running. Engine exhaust fumes are harmful. Do not inhale exhaust. When performing
service and inspection work in an enclosed space, vent the exhaust out of the area.
Dock Boards (Bridge Plates)
Dock boards are designed and maintained so that one end contacts the dock (or
loading platform) and the other end contacts the transport vessel. When you load or
unload the transport vessel the dock board must be locked in place to prevent it from
rocking or sliding. Dock boards must have a high friction surface designed to reduce
the possibility of people or trucks slipping.
If using dock boards on loading docks:
Never exceed the carrying capacity marked on portable or powered dock
boards.
Portable dock boards must be secured in position, using anchors or other
devices that prevent slipping.
Trailers and Rail Cars
1. Before loading or unloading a trailer or rail car, set the brakes and chock the
wheels to prevent it from moving unintentionally.
2. In addition to setting the brakes and chocking the wheels, if a semi-trailer is
not coupled to a tractor, make sure that all four corners are supported to
prevent upending or corner dipping.
3. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, or other similar
working surfaces.
4. Never attempt to move a trailer with the Combilift truck.
1.8 Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Regeneration
During automatic and standstill DPF regeneration, the engine will run at elevated idle
and hot temperatures for an extended period of time. Exhaust gases and exhaust
filter components reach temperatures hot enough to burn people and ignite or melt
common materials. Avoid exposure and skin contact with hot exhaust gases and
components.
