Safety considerations

The following safety considerations are presented in no particular

order. These considerations are in addition to any government
regulations and/or company policies regarding the safe operation
of radio controlled vehicles.

• Never operate a radio controlled vehicle within a service bay

or garage.

• Radio control commissioning checks should be conducted

in a reasonably level, open area.

• No other radio control vehicles should be in operation near

the LHD during commissioning.

• The operator conducting commissioning tests should

be qualified to operate the LHD and understand the principles
& safety considerations regarding radio remote control
vehicle operation.

• The operator should conduct commissioning tests while

in the operator’s cab to assume manual control in case
of an emergency.

• Observers should maintain a safe distance from the LHD.

• Fire suppression squib should be disconnected and the

Hard-Line fire suppression tester connected to perform the
fire suppression commissioning tests.

• Verify that wheel chocks are in place.
