MOVING A DISABLED DUMPER
If the dumper becomes disabled, it must be made safe and lifted onto a suitable transport vehicle to be taken to a location where it can
be repaired.
Moving a disabled machine without following the correct procedures will damage parts of the hydraulic system. If possible, the disabled
machine will be repaired where it stands.
JUMP-STARTING THE ENGINE
When the dumper battery is discharged, the engine can be jump-started using a slave battery from another vehicle and jump leads.
ENSURE the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12v and a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
WARNING
•
Before jump-starting the dumper,
ENSURE
all switches are in the off position.
•
The dumper must
NEVER
come into contact with the slave vehicle when connected with jump leads. This is a potential sparking
hazard!
•
ALWAYS

A suitable earth point would be part of the dumper chassis which is free from paint / dirt or the negative terminal of the
disabled
battery.
