Unloading
Dumping of load
WARNING
Risk of overturning.
Sloping ground may result in overturning. This may cause serious
injury or death.
Before unloading check the ground's condition.
The dumping method depends on the condition of the dump site.
When dumping over an edge, do not reverse further out than the
rear axle is still on firm ground. Check the firmness of the edge.
The following applies to all dumping:
- Before you run up the load body, make sure that no persons are
close to the machine.
- Do not run up the load body while reversing if the ground is
uneven.
- If the machine is placed across a steep grade, move the
machine before dumping the load. Use Dump supportfunction
to ensure that the machine stands straight, see page
- Place the machine so that it is straight. Apply the load and
dump brake, see page
the dump position and increase engine speed.
- Reduce the engine speed just before the load body reaches its
top position.
- Move the hauler forward a few metres, before you lower the
load body. Move the dump lever to float position.
Never operate further than necessary with the load body up.
Never make steering movements with the machine if the entire
load is stuck and the load body is up.
Method A: This is the quickest way to unload where the site is
large and the load is to be bulldozed over an edge.
Method B: Reverse out as close as possible to the edge so that
most of the load falls over the edge. The saving is that one avoids
having a dozer on the dump site.

NOTE!
Do not reverse out more than you are sure that the rear axle is still
on solid ground. Check the firmness of the edge.
Always use the rear-view mirrors when reversing. Do not stop until
the wheels on the rear axle reach the dump edge. Avoid operating
in the same tracks to reduce the risk of getting stuck. Save some
of the load and dump it on the edge.
