Remove any debris, snow or ice that may obstruct vehicle restraint
operation.

Alert personnel in the area of potential vehicle restraint operation and
ensure area is clear.

Operate the vehicle restraint thru one complete cycle, inspecting it for
proper operation and light sequence. Advise maintenance personnel of

restraint to capture the RIG is in question. (NOTE: The transport
vehicle’s suspension and load condition will effect trailer height.)
 After activating vehicle restraint:

Verify that the transport vehicle’s RIG has been restrained successfully.
In the event this cannot be determined use wheel chocks in addition to
restraint.

If equipped with a light communication package load and unload on
GREEN light only.
 Maintenance or service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
Follow approved lockout/tagout procedures.
