Loading The Hopper - Toro Workman Topdresser 1800 Operator's Manual

DANGER
Heavy loads increase stopping distance
and reduce your ability to turn quickly
without tipping over.
Transporting or topdressing with a full
load can cause shifting of the sand.
This shifting happens most often while
turning, going up or down hills, suddenly
changing speeds or while driving over
rough surfaces. Shifting loads can lead
to tipovers.
Use caution when transporting or
topdressing with a full load.
As a general rule, position the weight of
the load evenly from front to rear and
evenly from side to side.
Never tilt the topdresser bed for
maintenance with any material in the
hopper. Tilt the topdresser bed only
when the hopper is empty.

2. Use then hopper material load worksheet to
calculate the weight of the material you can load
into the hopper:
Note:
Generally, dry sand weighs 1602 kg/m³
(100 lb/ft³) and wet sand weighs 1922 to 2082
kg/m³ (120 to 130 lb/ft³).
Note:
The maximum material volume of the
hopper is 0.5 m³ (0.67 yd³).
