What is the maximum speed you must not exceed when coupling and operating non-remote controlled equipment?

2 MPH
4 MPH
6 MPH
10 MPH

The correct answer is: 4 MPH

When coupling and operating non-remote controlled equipment, the maximum speed that should not be exceeded is 4 MPH. This speed limit is established to ensure safety during coupling operations. At lower speeds, operators have more control and can respond to any unexpected issues that may arise, minimizing the risk of accidents or equipment damage. The limit is designed to reduce stress on the equipment and improve the safety of personnel involved in the operation, as lower speeds significantly decrease the risk of injury during these potentially dangerous tasks. By adhering to this maximum speed, crews can proactively manage the complexities involved in coupling non-remote controlled equipment, ensuring that operations are conducted safely and efficiently.
