When Loading The Truck
•
Ensure the surrounding area is safe. If so, stop
the machine in the correct loading position and
evenly load the body.
•
DO NOT leave the operator's seat during the
loading operation.
When Dumping
•
Before dumping, check that there is no person or
objects behind the machine.
•
Stop the machine in the desired location. Check
again for persons or objects behind the machine.
Give the determined signal, then slowly operate
the dump body. If necessary, use blocks for the
wheels or position a flagman.
•
When dumping on slopes, machine stability is
poor and there is danger of tip over. Always
perform such operations using extreme care.
•
Never travel with the dump body raised.
Working On Loose Ground
•
Avoid
operating
the
overhangs, and deep ditches. If these areas
collapse, the machine could fall or tip over and
result in serious injury or death. Remember that
ground surfaces in these areas may be
weakened after heavy rain or blasting.
•
Freshly laid soil and the soil near ditches is loose.
It can collapse under the weight or vibration of
the machine. Avoid these areas whenever
possible.
Parking The Machine
•
Choose a horizontal road surface to park the
machine. If the machine must be parked on a
slope, put blocks under all the wheels to prevent
the machine from moving.
•
When parking on public roads, provide fences,
flags or lights, on the machine to warn
pedestrians and other vehicles. Ensure that the
machine, flags, or lights DO NOT obstruct the
traffic.
Before leaving the machine, lower the dump body
fully, activate the parking brake, stop the engine, and
lock everything. Always take the key with you.
