Dumping
The engine is loaded under the loading box (LS280) or behind the machine (LS360, LS461). Before
starting the engine, take care of following points.
Remove the load from the loading box before dumping. Otherwise, the machine is heavier to
•
handle, and the load or the machine may turn over, losing balance.
When raising the loading box to check the underside, let the stand support the loading box so
•
that loading box may not fall down.
Before dumping, pay attention to your surroundings.
•
Avoid dumping on the slope, where the machine tends to lose its balance as the loading box
•
goes up.
Dump slowly not to give shocks on the machine.
•
Always stop engine before fold the bucket or dump the load.
