Using the machine demands attention. Failure to operate
machine safely may result in an accident, tip over of the
machine, and serious injury or death. Drive carefully.
To prevent tipping or loss of control, take the following
precautions:
– Use extreme caution, reduce speed, and maintain
a safe distance around sand traps, ditches, creeks,
ramps, any unfamiliar areas, or other hazards.
– Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
– Use caution when operating the machine on a steep
slope. Normally, travel straight up and down slopes.
Reduce speed when making sharp turns or when
turning on hillsides. Avoid turning on hillsides
whenever possible.
– Use extra caution when operating the machine on
wet surfaces, at higher speeds, or with a full load.
Stopping time will increase with a full load. Shift into
a lower gear before starting up or down a hill.
– When loading the bed, distribute the load evenly. Use
extra caution if the load exceeds the dimensions of
the machine/bed. Operate the machine with extra
caution when handling off-center loads that cannot
be centered. Keep loads balanced and secure to
prevent them from shifting.
– Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to forward or forward to reverse without first
coming to a complete stop.
– Do not attempt sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers or
other unsafe driving actions that may cause a loss of
machine control.
– Do not pass another machine traveling in the same
direction at intersections, blind spots, or at other
dangerous locations.
– When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind
machine and do not dump the load on any one's feet.
Release the tailgate latches from the side of box, not
from behind.
– Keep all bystanders away. Before backing up, look to
the rear and ensure that no one is behind the machine.
Back up slowly.
– Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads.
Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and other
machines. This machine is not designed for use on
streets or highways. Always signal your turns or stop
early enough so other persons know what you plan to
do. Obey all traffic rules and regulations.
– Never operate the machine in or near an area where
there is dust or fumes in the air which are explosive.
The electrical and exhaust systems of the machine can
produce sparks capable of igniting explosive materials.
– Always watch out for and avoid low overhangs such
as tree limbs, door jambs, over head walkways, etc.
Make sure there is enough room over head to easily
clear the machine and your head.
– If ever unsure about safe operation, stop work and
ask your supervisor.
•
Do not touch engine, transaxle, muffler, or muffler
manifold while the engine is running or soon after it has
stopped because these areas may be hot enough to cause
burns.
•
If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop immediately,
turn the engine off, wait for all motion to stop and inspect
for damage. Repair all damage before resuming operation.
•
Before getting off the seat, do the following:
– Stop movement of the machine.
– Lower the bed.
– Shut the engine off and wait for all movement to stop.
– Set the parking brake.
– Remove the key from ignition.

Maintenance

•
Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine,
stop the engine, set the parking brake, and remove the key
from ignition to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
•
Never work under a raised bed without placing the bed
safety support on the fully extended cylinder rod.
•
Make sure all hydraulic line connectors are tight, and all
hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or
nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under high pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for
leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin and do serious damage.
If fluid is injected into the skin it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
form of injury or gangrene may result.
•
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the
hydraulic system, all pressure in the system must be
relieved by stopping the engine, cycling the dump valve
from raise to lower and/or lowering box and attachments.
Place the remote hydraulics lever in the float position.
