Inspection, post - inspections, and operating guidelines. By following these steps, you can safely oper-
ate the Load King Dump Body with minimal risks of damage to the machine or the surrounding prop-
erty.
Pre - Use Inspection
1. Before using a Load King Dump Body, do a 360 degree walk around to visually inspect that the dump bed
will be free of obstructions once in operation.
2. Be sure to check the oil sight gauge on the reservoir to ensure the tank is full and that no oil has leaked
out.
3. Visually inspect all critical fasteners to ensure there are no loose or damaged bolts, nuts, or other hard-
ware. Ensure that all lubrication points have been well maintained and lubricated.
4. If any damage to body or hardware is observed, do not operate until a thorough inspection has been con-
ducted and all necessary repairs have been made.
