Before taking the unit out to use, make a walk-around inspection to assure that the dump body is not
damaged, that all essential parts are in place, and that all fasteners are tight and all guards are in place.
Check all controls to be sure they are operating satisfactorily.
Before testing the unit, make sure the controls should be off. Do not load dump body.
1. Make sure that no loose parts or other material are in the body or on the spinner.
2. Raise feedgate until it is completely clear of conveyor.
3. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with oil. Refer to the Lubricant and Hydraulic Oil Speci fi cations section for
proper oil.
4. Start engine and engage PTO. Let engine run for a few minutes, allowing oil to circulate through the
pump and back to the reservoir. In cold weather, allow more warm-up time.
5. Make sure pins are installed and jam nuts are tightened. Open spinner control and run unit until the
spinner is running smoothly and air has been purged from the circuit. Close spinner control.
WARNING
Stand clear of moving machinery. Entanglement of clothes, any part of your body or
anything in your hands can cause serious injury or even death.
6. Open conveyor control and let unit run until conveyor is running smoothly. Close conveyor control. Do
the same for the cross conveyor, if applicable.
7. Open tailgate latch air control and make sure tailgate latch releases.
8. Make sure spinner hopper will not contact any truck frame component before lifting dump body.
Open hoist control and slowly lift and lower dump body to check lift angle and range of motion. Make
sure tailgate opens and closes correctly.
9. Check all connections in the hydraulic system to make sure there are no leaks.
10. Check hydraulic reservoir and re fi ll.
WARNING
DO NOT check leaks with hands while system is operating as high pressure oil leaks can be
dangerous! If skin is pierced with hydraulic fl uid at high pressure seek immediate medical
attention as fl uid injected into the skin could cause gangrene if left untreated. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or working system. Make sure all hydraulic
fl uid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
WARNING
DO NOT check for leaks adjacent to moving parts while system is operating as there may
be danger of entanglement!
CAUTION
Open tailgate before hoisting dump body with material in it. TRUCK COULD TIP, causing
serious injury or death, if body is raised with material in it and the tailgate closed
CAUTION
Always disengage tailgate air with body completely down and make sure latches are
closed before fi lling dump body.
WARNING
Tailgate latch springs must be in place during operation. Springs keep the latch closed if
air pressure drops. If springs are not in place, tailgate could open inadvertently and drop
load.
