• If the dumper needs to be towed, use a tow bar whenever possible, or if none is
available, a cable that is strong enough for the job. In either case, it should be fixed
onto the point indicated by the manufacturer and the manoeuvre should be carried
out at a speed of no more than 10 Km/h.
When driving a towed dumper, pay attention to the position of your hands on the
steering wheel, to ensure that an unexpected turn of the wheel does not cause you
injury.
• Make sure that the towing dumper has a strong enough towing and braking
capability to be able to perform this operation.
• If the dumper needs to be transported on a truck platform:
- Ensure that only a minimum amount of fuel remains in the tank.
- Apply the brakes to the dumper.
- Apply chocks to the wheels and attach them to the truck bed.
- Anchor the machine firmly to the truck bed using slings or other methods to
prevent any kind of movement.
• When carrying out any repair work, make especially sure that the battery terminals
are protected, so that they cannot accidentally be shorted out by a tool, part, etc.
• As the chassis is articulated (articulated frame steering), before undertaking any
operation on the dumper, place the joining beam between the frames, in a way that
the articulations are immobilised
(fig. 1)
• Before carrying out any electrical soldering work on the dumper, remove the electric
and electronic equipment in order to avoid possible damage to the installations.
• If the dumper to be towed is hydrostatically driven, before doing so, follow the
instructions indicated in this manual for the disconnection of the drive shaft,
therefore facilitating towing and eliminating any risk to the hydrostatic unit.
• When changing a tyre, make sure that it is fitted with the tread pattern facing the
right way.
• Before carrying out any work on the engine cooling system, wait for the temperature
of the coolant to drop enough for the coolant reservoir cap to be removed safely.
• In order to avoid allergic reactions and other hazards affecting the skin, replenishing
of fuel or other fluids should be carried out wearing protective gloves.
• Be environmentally friendly. When changing oil, fluids, tyres, batteries, etc., take the
used materials to the corresponding recycling centres.
If you handle or scrap silencers that contain mineral fibre based absorbent materials,
protect your skin with the appropriate gloves and clothing and take the materials to
approved disposal sites for this class of materials.
Similarly, at the end of the useful life of this vehicle, hand it to an authorised scrap
centre.
• Also, if concrete spills onto the road surface, remove it before it hardens.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
• If the machine vehicle is used in areas where there are devices that are very sensitive
to electromagnetic emissions, make sure that they will not be affected by this.
