The dump box utilizes “lids” as a cover. To extend catch area flaps must be opened before raising or
extending the dump box.
Three levers, located at the operator station, control the “Roll Back” (extension), “Lift”, and “Dump” (angle)
of the dump box. A fourth lever, “Tailgate,” controls the tailgate.
There are several characteristics that must be remembered as the dump box is moved and positioned.
D U M P B O X
• As the dump box is raised and lowered, the
angle changes. Therefore, the angle must be
adjusted as it is raised and lowered.
• If extended after it is raised, it will also rise
further.
• Engine speed effects the speed of the
dump box. While it may be necessary to
increase engine speed above idle,full throttle
is not recommended. The hydraulics are
powerful enough to cause serious damage to
a building if contact occurs.
• It is possible to contact the operator
and controls at the operator station with
the dump box if the dump box is not fully
lowered before retracting.
• Never tilt the dump box forward if it is over
half full or debris could contact the operator.
Be sure the tailgate is closed before loading
the dump box.
With the outriggers down and the machine level:
1. Open the lids on top of the dump box.
2. Using the “Roll Back” and “Lift” levers,
extend or raise the dump box. If raising, use
the “Dump” lever concurrently to keep the
dump box fairly level.
NOTE: When working in close areas, use a
spotter.
3. When the Equipter is ready to be moved,
lower the dump box using all appropriate
levers. The dump box must be in the
complete transport position before driving or
towing.
Keep personnel away from the Equipter when
lowering. Debris may fall out, causing injury
to personnel in the vicinity.
The angle of the dump box must be kept
level as it is lowered or debris may fall out.
