Safety Message to Operators of Vehicles with PreView
®
Side Defender
Radar Systems
1. The PreView
®
Side Defender
™
Radar system is intended as an Object Detection
System and should not be relied upon as your first line of defense for the safe
operation of the vehicle. It should be used in conjunction with established
safety programs and procedures to augment the safe operation of the vehicle,
ground personnel, and adjacent property. Should the system become
inoperative, it could jeopardize the safety or lives of those who depend on the
system for safety.
2. Testing and inspection of the system in accordance with these instructions and
a record of the results should be listed on the daily maintenance report. The
units on operating vehicles must be tested each day prior to the vehicle's
operation. Results of this test must be recorded in the maintenance log.
3. People operating this equipment MUST check for proper operation at the
beginning of every shift or safety inspection period.
4. If a PreView ® system is found to be inoperative upon test, the operator should
flag or cover the driver display and mark as “inoperative” prior to the
machine/vehicle operation.
5. People's lives depend on the proper installation of this product in conformance
with these instructions. It is necessary to read, understand, and follow all
instructions shipped with the product.
6. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
7. The PreView ® Object Detection System is intended for commercial use. Proper
installation requires a good understanding of vehicle/machine electrical
systems and procedures, along with proficiency in the installation.
8. Store these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when maintaining
and/or reinstalling the product.
Testing and Maintenance
NOTE: A walk-around test shall be performed every day to verify proper function of
the system and to familiarize the operator with the zone of detection. More
frequent inspections should be performed when:

The vehicle is operating in a particularly dirty or harsh environment.

The operator has reason to suspect the system has been damaged.
This test should be performed with two people, one who remains in the cab (the
operator), and one who walks through the sensor detection field (the assistant). The
below example illustrates the test for a backing sensor application. Use a similar
procedure for front, side or multiple radar systems by confirming detection of each
radar sensor in the operator display.
