Jacks / Liing
Before liing the vehicle, make sure it is parked on a level surface. Put the vehicle in park, set the emergency brake,
and chock the wheels. Use hydraulic jack rated for 6 ton or more.
Never work under a vehicle supported by only a jack or liing device. Use properly rated jack stands under frame
rails to properly support vehicle components during removal and installation procedures.
Towing
If brakes of disabled vehicle are inoperable do not at tow. Request support from a at bed or a wrecker. Do not
move towing vehicle without a ground guide. Ground guide should be in clear view at all times. Conrm that all
personnel are clear of vehicles before removing wheel chocks.
Maximum o road towing speed should not exceed 15MPH (24KM/PH). Terrain and weather conditions may
require further reduced speeds. On paved roads speeds up to 25MPH can be accomplished if conditions permit.
Prior to removing tow bar, or straps, park vehicle on level ground with wheels chocked.
Never attach safety chains or straps to axles or suspension components that have been damaged or compromised.
Vehicles with catastrophic axle or suspension damage may require the axle to be properly secured to the chassis
for safe recovery of the vehicle.
Doors
e doors are heavy; verify nobody is standing directly behind the doors before opening and closing.
Keep hands and feet clear before closing doors. Use extra caution when vehicle is on an incline.
Driving and Operating
Adjust mirrors properly prior to operation to allow for maximum eld of view.
Use ground guides in low visibility situations. Be sure ground guides remain clear of the vehicle path and remain
in clear view of the driver. Failure to comply may result in vehicle collision or injury to personnel.
Operator should visually check interior and exterior of vehicle for personnel before moving.
Do not exceed the recommended crew capacity for your specic vehicle layout.
Ensure tires are inated to proper pressure. Failure to do so could result in tire failure which could lead to an
accident.
Do not drive the vehicle more than 25 miles or at speeds over 25 MPH when operating on a at tire with Run Flat
inserts. Failure to comply could result in loss of vehicle control.
Vehicle has a 30 degree roll over angle. Sharp turns and other maneuvers should be taken cautiously. Adjust
driving style to operating conditions. Avoid side slopes, always approach slopes head on when possible.
