Ra slanted post
In such cases, you should not use the guide

the ground, do not approach the object any
closer than the red guide line.

distance from the rear of the vehicle. Yellow
guide line ; indicates a distance of
approximately 3 ft (1 m) and red guide line
= indicates a distance of approximately
10 in (0.25 m). The distances only apply to
objects at ground level. Blue guide line :
depicts the width required for the vehicle. It
