Maintain Safe Speeds
Hauling
While travelling the haul road, always maintain a safe speed for the haul road
conditions and grades. Never allow the machine to move or coast with the
transmission in 'NEUTRAL'!
When approaching or encountering extremely soft or slippery conditions, stop the
machine and engage the differential locks. Do not engage the differential locks
when machine is moving or wheels are spinning. Disengage the locks as soon as
conditions return to normal.
When approaching downgrades, select the proper transmission gear and use the
retarder and service brakes as required to maintain safe descent speed, without
over-speeding the engine, or gaining excess travel speed. Generally, the
transmission range required for ascending is also correct for descending a grade.
Always remain a safe distance behind the machine ahead, particularly on
downgrades. A good rule-of-thumb to follow is to allow two (2) truck-lengths
between machines for each 16 km/h (10 mile/h) of travel speed under normal
operating conditions. Under adverse conditions, allow more room for safe
operation. On jobs on which minimum distance between machines is specified
for the haul road, be sure to observe the regulations at all times. Such
regulations are established for the safety of everyone on the job.
Pay attention to haul road conditions to avoid rocks, holes, or other obstacles.
Such obstacles not only present hazards to safe operation, but can needlessly
damage tyres and suspensions if not avoided.
Be sure to reduce speed and come to a full stop, as required, at intersections,
railroads, public highways etc. Where a 'FLAGMAN' is stationed to direct traffic,
always stay alert and follow his directions.
