Gradients
IMPORTANT: Read the notes in "Safe
Working" and also remember the
following:
Slippery or loose surface conditions
can adversely affect safe machine
operation, particularly on gradients.
ALWAYS choose routes that avoid
steep, slippery or loose gradients.
NEVER park the machine on a
gradient.
NEVER attempt to turn on, or drive
across, a gradient.
ALWAYS drive forwards up gradients
when loaded.
ALWAYS reverse down gradients
when loaded.
NEVER tow up or down gradients.
NEVER operate on a gradient
which exceeds 10% (1 in 10), or
across gradients which exceed 10% (1
in 10). This should be reduced where
surfaces are wet or unstable.
Braking
The brake pedal operates a hydraulic
master cylinder that supplies oil to
brakes within the front axle. There are no
brakes on the rear axle.
The handbrake operates a caliper that
acts upon a disc mounted on the
transmission.
Engaging gear lever
The gearbox incorporates a self
centering safety device on the gear
lever which may make the gear lever
stiff to operate. When changing gear,
always depress the clutch pedal
before moving the gear lever from one
gear to another. The gearbox is not a
synchromesh type gearbox.
Stopping the dumper
IMPORTANT: Never make
unnecessary 'crash' stops when
travelling at speed, especially in
forward direction.
Release accelerator and brake to a
halt progressively.
Select neutral gear.
Apply parking brake when stationary.
Stop the engine. Turn the starter key
to the 'OFF' position, and remove the
key.
Leaving the dumper
Ensure the machine is parked on
firm, level ground. Do not park on a
gradient.
Check that the parking brake is applied.
Ensure that the skip is fully lowered.
With the engine stopped, operate the
hydraulic lever (where fitted) fully in
each direction several times to 'dump'
hydraulic pressure from the system.
Remove starter key (where fitted) from
switch.
Electric start dumpers: If unattended for
some time, remove earth cable from
battery, or activate the Battery Isolator,
(where fitted).
