 When leaving the vehicle....
• Turn the engine off and switch off the ignition. Place the cargo box in the horizontal
resting position (fig. 2) .
• Place all controls in the neutral standby position.
• Put the parking brake on.
• Lock all mechanisms which impede use of the vehicle by unauthorised persons; the
starter circuit in particular, by removing the ignition key.
• If you must leave the dumper on a slope, in addition to putting the parking brake on,
immobilise the wheels with suitable chocks.
• Leave the dumper in areas specifically designated for this purpose, and not where it
prevents people from passing or blocks exits or access to stairways or emergency
equipment.
• As the dumper has an articulated chassis, when leaving it, always leave it in a
straight position.

Good conservation is a safety guarantee, so....
• Never stop carrying out dumper maintenance. Specialised personnel should be
assigned to this job, who are equipped with the necessary tools and appropriate
instructions.
Only authorised personnel should perform maintenance and repair work.
• Unless unavoidable, all attention to the dumper should be done with the engine
switched off, the cargo box unloaded, and all the immobilizing and locking devices
engaged.
• Some operations are easier done with the cargo box tipped in the unloading
position. Before doing so, precautions must be taken to prevent it from accidentally
tipping using the devices designed for this purpose which are provided in each
dumper model
(fig. 3) .
• Before disconnecting fluid systems, make sure there is no pressure in them and
take steps to avoid unexpected spills. Never use a flame to check fluid levels and
leaks.
• Regular checks should be carried out on the hydraulic system to detect any possible
leaks or misalignment on the safety valves which could lead to a risk situation.
• Regular checks should also be carried out on all those elements whose excessive
wear or ageing could lead to a risk situation, for example: hydraulic pipes, brake
linings, tyre restraining rings, etc.
• In the case of the roof or operator protection arch has suffered an impact that has
produced any permanent deformity, as this is a safety element it must therefore be
replaced for a new one.
• All identification, instruction and warning plates attached to the dumper must be
kept in a perfectly readable condition.
• Any modification which affects the capacity and safety of the dumper must be
authorised by the vehicle manufacturer or by a responsible manufacturer, modifying
where necessary the instruction manuals and plates.
• The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any incidents or accidents caused
by the use of non-original spare parts or by repairs carried out by unauthorised
workshops.
• When replacing tyres, ensure that they are the correct replacements and follow the
tyre manufacturer’s safety instructions. For safety reasons, split wheels must not be
used (those made of two rims bolted together).
• Lifting the dumper for handling or inspection should be carried out using the points
on the machine designed for this purpose, as indicated in this manual, and with
strong enough apparatus for this purpose. As the chassis is articulated, the frames
must first be joined to the belt designed for this purpose.
