15 AF Frm 1800, SF 91 and DD Frm Driving Safety and Precautins Overview safety and precautins. The fllwing are safety items and prcedures t be fllwed during sweeper peratins. The manufacturer s peratr s manual will als prvide safe perating prcedures and the vehicle itself may have warnings, cautins and danger stickers that the vehicle peratr shuld be aware f Vehicle data plate. Be familiar with the lcatin and infrmatin fund n the data plate Plan the rute Overhead clearance. Check the clearance height f the vehicle relative t the verhead bstructins such as pwer lines, trees, and bridges Width restrictins/cnstructin znes, ver-the-rad Weight restrictin (rads, bridges, ff-rad cnditins) Inclines Uneven grund Sft surfaces Street-side peratins Greater vehicle weight. The peratr needs t cnsider the cmbined weight f the snw brm and the lad. This will affect the fllwing: Operatr s ability t stp. D nt tailgate the vehicle in frnt. Allw mre distance between vehicles in rder t increase reactin time Vehicle s ability t accelerate/fllw the flw f traffic. Accelerate smthly and gradually s the truck des nt jerk. Rugh acceleratin causes unnecessary, premature mechanical damage t the truck s drive train. Maintain a safe speed (typically 5 miles per hur (mph) belw the psted speed limit) Dwngrades/upgrades. The peratr will use lwer gears mre frequently t climb hills r muntains with increasing grade steepness, length and/r heavy lad weight. Plan ahead t identify dwngrades/upgrades n the rute f travel. If pssible, talk t ther drivers wh are familiar with the grades t find ut what speeds are safe. When encuntering dwngrades/upgrades as described, the peratr will need t address:

16 Speed. On dwngrades, gravity causes the speed f the vehicle t increase. The peratr must select an apprpriate safe speed, use a lw gear, and prper braking techniques. The peratr must g slw enugh s as t nt verheat the truck brakes Stpping. If the brakes becme t ht, they may start t fade. This means the peratr will need t apply the brakes harder and harder t acquire equivalent stpping pwer Sharp turns. Slw dwn befre entering the turn. During the turn, avid sharp sudden mvements with the steering wheel. This reduces the chance f shifting the lad in the tank, and als prevents the pssibility f tipping ver due t the higher center f gravity Surrundings. Operating a snw brm requires the peratr s cnstant attentin. Many situatins can be avided by simply paying clse attentin t the surrunding cnditins. Rad signs such as steep grade, lw verhead clearance, sharp turn ahead, and special speed limits are psted fr the driver s safety Size. The peratr must take int accunt, the size/width f the brm head assembly and airblast ducts when perating the vehicle Air fireld sweeper peratins IAW AFI , Airfield Driving, AFMAN and lcal requirements. Maintain: Safe perating distance arund aircraft Prper distance frm airfield lights, buildings, hangars, etc Tw-way cmmunicatins/light singals with Base Ops and Cntrl Twer, as applicable Knwledge and adherence t airfield markings/indicatrs Alertness t aircraft/vehicle mvement Awareness f prepsitined aerspace grund equipment (AGE), wheel chcks, fire extinguisher/bttle, etc Awareness f in grund refueling hydrant lids/utilities man-hle cvers Alertness t aircraft arresting system cables/anchr chains.
