7. After material being dumped clears body, lower
body to frame by moving the Hoist Control Lever
forward to the ''DOWN'' position and the dump
body will start to move down.
8. Releasing the lever completely will automatically

(Neutral), apply Brake Lock switch and lower
dump body. See NOTE : * below.
The truck is not to be moved with
the dump body raised except for
emergency moves only. Failure
to lower the dump body before
moving truck may cause damage
to hoist cylinders, frame and/or
body hinge pins.
NOTE: When traveling, always place the dump lever at
the FLOAT position, regardless of whether or not the
truck is loaded.
* If the transmission range selector is moved to any
position other than ''N'' (neutral) when the dump lever
is not at the FLOAT position, the central warning lamp
will flash and the alarm buzzer will sound intermittently.
9. With body returned to frame, move Transmission
Range Selector to ''D'' (Drive), release Brake Lock
switch, and leave dump area carefully.
SAFE PARKING PROCEDURES

tions when preparing for parking and engine shut-

consecutive shifts, any questionable truck perform-
ance the operator may have noticed must be checked
by maintenance personnel before the truck is released
to another operator.

roll. Each truck should be parked at a reasonable
distance from another.

other machines in the area. If the truck becomes
disabled where traffic is heavy, mark the truck with
warning flags in daylight or with flares at night.

portant and should be followed at each shutdown.
