4. When dump lever (3) is moved to the LOWER position, the
dump body will start to move down.
5. When the dump body has moved down a certain distance,
move dump lever (3) to the FLOAT position. (When the lever is
released, it will return to the FLOAT position.) The dump body
will then move down under its own weight.
When raising the dump body, let the accelerator pedal back
near the maximum angle to avoid any impact load on the
hydraulic circuit or hoist cylinders.
When the dump body is raised, if the shift lever is at the D
position, the transmission is fixed in 2nd. Keep the dump body
lowered when traveling.
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
When traveling on roads in rain or snow, or when traveling on muddy or soft ground, consider the loaded condition
of the machine and be extremely careful not to let the tires slip or the machine spin and sink into the ground.
If the engine should stop when the machine is traveling, stop the machine immediately, then move the gear shift
lever to the N position, and start the engine again.
If the central warning lamp and pilot lamp for any EMERGENCY item on the machine monitor should flash and
the buzzer sounds during operation, stop the machine immediately and investigate the cause.
For details, see "TROUBLESHOOTING (PAGE 3-114)".
When loading, be careful to load the dump body uniformly, and be particularly careful to avoid loading too much
at the front.
On slippery road surfaces, apply the retarder control lever slowly and shift the transmission down to prevent the
rear wheels from locking.
When traveling through pools of water, water may get inside the front brakes and cause a big drop in the braking
force, so drive carefully in such areas. If water should get into the brakes, apply the brakes several times while
traveling to produce friction heat between the pad and disc to remove the water.
