11.   Shut Down

1. Set throttle to idle position.
2. Turn the engine ignition switch to the “OFF” position.
3. Always close the fuel tap after turning off.

12.   Care and Maintenance

Before  carrying  out  any  maintenance  work,  turn  off  the  engine  and  allow  to  cool. 
For devices with petrol engines remove the spark plug and, if necessary, disconnect 
the  battery.  If  disassembly  of  any  safety  equipment  is  required  for  maintenance,  it 
must  be  assembled  and  checked  again  immediately  after  completion  of  the  work. 
Check for loose screws and tighten according to the specified tightening torques.

9.   Driving the Track Dumper 

Select the desired gear using the shift lever.
If selection is not easy/possible, press and release the clutch lever then try again.
When the desired gear has been engaged, grip and hold the red clutch lever to start 
driving.
To stop the Track Dumper, slowly release the clutch lever - this disengages drive and 
applies the brake!
On steep inclines always select 1st gear to avoid excessive load on the belt drive.
The Track Dumper is steered by means of the two clutch handles below the left and 
right  guide  handles.  Grip  the  lever  on  the  right  guide  handle  to  cause  the  Track 
Dumper to veer or rotate to the right.  Grip the lever on the left guide handle to cause 
the Track Dumper to veer or rotate to the left.
Depending  on  the  load  and  the  on  the  incline  of  any  slope  to  be  climbed,  different 
levels of force are required to actuate the levers.   In extreme cases (e.g. on a slope 
and with a full load) the clutch lever can no longer be operated because the force to 
be transmitted is simply too large.
When  driving  forwards  downhill  (i.e.  with  the  load  at  the  front)  take  care  that  the 
Track Dumper does not tilt because of the centre of gravity being so far forward.  If in 
doubt, always use reverse gear.

IMPORTANT! 

  Gears  may  only  be  switched/selected  when  the  red  clutch  lever  is 

NOT engaged.

10.   Tipping the Skip

Pulling upwards on the lever of the hydraulic valve under the oil tank causes the skip 
to be raised.
Pushing downwards on the lever of the hydraulic valve under the oil tank causes the 
skip to lower. The speed of lowering is controlled by the built-in Flow Control Valve 
(see photo) - adjust as necessary.   Turn the screw clockwise to reduce the lowering 
speed.

ATTENTION!

  The  valve  must  never  be  closed  completely  otherwise  the  hydraulic 

pump will be overloaded!

FLOW CONTROL VALVE

ATTENTION! 

If the machine will not be used for more than 3 weeks, empty the 

fuel tank and carburettor! (Drain plug: angled screw on gold float housing below 
the carburettor).

Engine Oil Change

Remove the oil drain plug at the bottom of the engine (note: there are two). Using a 
suitable  hoist,  tilt  the  device  forward  and  allow  all  the  oil  to  drain  into  a  suitable 
container.  Always  dispose  of  drained  oil  in  accordance  with  local  and  national 
environmental regulations for disposal. Oil changes are best carried out with a warm 
engine,  as  warm  oil  flows  much  better  and  the  crankcase  is  better  drained.  Then, 
replace  the  oil  drain  plug(s)  and  tighten  according  to  the  technical  data 
specifications, and fill the appropriate amount of engine oil in the dipstick hole.
Alternatively, the oil can be sucked out from the dipstick hole by means of a plastic 
syringe and a suction hose.

Air Filter 

The  air  filter  element  should  be  replaced  -  whenever  necessary  -  because  dirty  air 
filters causes starting problems, reduced engine performance, and can significantly 
shorten  the  life  of  the  engine. To  replace  the  air  filter,  undo  the  wing  nut  on  the  air 
filter housing. After removing the cover, undo the second wing nut (not available with 
VP10/31) and take out the filter element. Insert a new filter element, lock with a wing 
nut  and  mount  the  cover  in  reverse  order.  When  inserting  and  securing  the  filter 
element ensure the correct position and cleanliness of the sealing surfaces!
