MPORTANT:
When transporting Dingo on
trailer, always use the following
procedure.
Maintenance
It is essential to maintain the engine as
detailed in the engine manual.
Refer to your log book service manual
for this information.
Refer to the Pre Start Up section for
maintenance that should be completed
before starting the Dingo (each and every
time).
1. Never load or unload the Dingo on the
trailer unless the trailer is attached to the
vehicle.
2. Always climb the ramps with the heavy
end of the machine up hill. E.g. With
heavy attachment like the trencher
attached to the Dingo, climb the ramps in
the forward direction. With no attachment
on the Dingo, climb the ramps in the
reverse direction.
3. The bucket, post hole digger and
leveller attachment should always be
positioned in their designated positions
on the trailer. This will help ensure that
the weight is distributed correctly on the
trailer.
4. Ensure the load is positioned so that
there is more weight forward of the trailer
axle than behind the axle. Too much
weight behind the axle may cause the
rear of the vehicle to become too light.
(refer to motor vehicle manufacturers
recommendations)
5. Once in position on the trailer lower the
Dingo arms
6. Turn the key to Off to stop the engine.
7. Remove the key, turn the fuel tap to
the off position before transporting.
8. Secure the machine to the trailer with
chains or straps using the tie down points
on the Dingo chassis.
9. When towed by a vehicle not fitted with
an electric trailer brake controller, engage
the manual breaking system by lifting
the manual override stopper on the tow
coupling (single axle trailer only).
