on level ground.
– Ensure that no persons are near the machine.
If conditions permit, dumping may be carried out while moving.
Tipping control
Dump body lowered by hydraulic pressure =

This position is used when the dump body is in such a position that
it will not lower under its own weight.
Move the control to position 2 when the dump body begins to lower

Floating position = position 2
NOTE! During loading and transporting this position should
be selected.
This position is used for all operation with empty or loaded dump

position that it will lower under its own weight.
NOTE! If the operator leaves the operator seat, the tipping
control automatically moves to holding position.
