Operation
For loading and unloading containers, work in close coordination with the Driver. For this purpose the Driver can switch his map screen to the same view the Operator has switched the container loading screen.
The Operator then can arm or disarm the corresponding connectors for each container bay. When ready, the Driver should according the view from the screen align the vehicle with the container and drive slowly over it. When the vehicle is correctly positioned over the container, the Operater can arm the connectors.
NOTE:
It is recommendable to latch a container first to the structural better lower hardpoints to help align for later attachement to the lift.
NOTE:
When switching from the lower connectors to the lift, wait a few seconds before disabling the other connectors.
Then the container can be moved upwards and attached to the upper connectors.
As soon as it has latched to the upper connectors, the lift can be moved back down again to latch to the lower connectors in the same manner.
With this method, one can lift a container to latch with it's bottom connectors to the top ones from the rack, making space for a second container attaching below.
CAUTION:
Keep containers attached to primary connectors, not the lift, when moving!
