Determine Stopping Characteristics
of Truck for Transporting Braking
Tests
• Stopping distance with loaded debris body will be
greater than empty truck.
• Reduce travel speed on wet or icy roads; stopping
distances increase.
Determine Maximum Turning Speed
Before Operating on Roads or
Uneven Ground
•
Test
equipment by slowly increasing speed on turns
to determine if it can be operated at higher speeds.
• Use reduced turning speeds on sharp turns to avoid
equipment turning over.
• Truck has a high center of gravity when carrying a
loaded debris body. Use extreme caution when
transporting at highway speeds. Slow down for sharp
corners to avoid tipping or turning over.
When Transporting Equipment
• Do not move truck unless debris body is fully
lowered in the horizontal storage position.
•
Always
wear seat belt when operating truck.
• Follow all local traffic regulations.
•
Use
low speeds to avoid overturn tipping when
debris body is filled.
• Use low speeds and gradual steering on curves,
hills, rough or uneven surfaces, and wet roads.
•
Turn on
truck flashing warning lights when driving
slower than traffic.
• Transport the truck only at safe speeds that allow for
proper control of the truck while driving and stopping.
