2.
Bracing
- The package should be braced in the vehicle
to prevent movement during transportation or a
reasonable accident. This can be accomplished by
brackets, chain, wire rope, or cord.
3.
Safety
- The package should not be in the passenger
compartment. The preferred locations are the rear of a
pickup, rear of a van, or trunk of a sedan.
4.
Secured
- The package should be chained—or wire
roped—and locked to the bed of a pickup, locked in
the freight area of a van, or locked in the trunk of a
sedan to prevent theft. Two separate levels of security
must be used to secure the gauge during transport and
any time the gauge is not under continuous
surveillance.
5.
Driving
- The technician should drive in a friendly, low-
profile manner; for example, minimum lane changes.
And park in the outer area of a public parking lot.
6.
Shipping Papers
- The driver should have within view and
within reach (normally on the seat adjacent to the
driver) the shipping paper, and the emergency
response information sheet. To satisfy HAZMAT and other
regulatory requirements it is recommended that each
gauge have a documentation package as follows:
Bill of Lading
Emergency Response Sheet
Leak Test Certificate
Manual of operations
7.
Miscellaneous
- YELLOW-II does not require placarding
the vehicle. Transporting the MC-3 Elite model does not
require placarding the vehicle.
