SAFETY RULES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Lowering the Dump Manually

There is a manually operated valve located on the left
side of the hydraulic pump assembly (see illustration).
This valve should only be used if the dump fails to lower
by pressing the lowering button. The valve is covered
by an Allen screw. Remove the Allen screw to access
the valve then turn the internal screw clockwise to lower
the dump.

Lubrication

Under normal conditions, all of the pivot points
should be lubricated with chassis grease every 3-
months. This includes the upper and lower
hydraulic cylinder pivots and the dump bed pivot
points. Depending on the type of dump bed, there
may be more than one grease fitting for the bed
pivots. If grease fittings are not provided, then the
pins must be removed to apply grease.
The hydraulic fluid level of the tank should be
inspected weekly and filled as required (see
illustration).
Use only use Dextron automatic transmission fluid.
Using any other fluid may result in damage to the
hydraulic pump. The tank must be filled only when
the dump is in its fully lowered position. Fill the
tank to within appriximatly 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inches
from the filler hole.
