Section 1 - Safety Information
1.6 dumping Safety
Standard Debris Tank
• Always drain all the liquid from the debris
tank before dumping the solids.
• Always dump on level ground, never uneven
or sloped ground.
• Always choose solid ground, not soft sand or
wet soil.
• Always use the remote control to tilt the tank.
• Make sure the operator and all personnel are
well clear of the truck before tilting the tank.
• Never allow personnel under a raised tank
without safety supports in place.
• Always be careful to avoid any pinch points
which could cause injury.
High Dump Tank Lift Hazard
Raising the scissor lift and debris tank can be haz-
ardous and requires special precautions that must
be observed to reduce the possibility of severe
injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Remember that raising the tank also raises the
vehicle center of gravity which can cause the truck
to become unstable or even tip over if it is not on
level ground. Common sense and good judgement
must be used whenever the debris tank is raised.
Always be alert to unforeseen problems as the
tank raises and be prepared to stop immediately
if a problem occurs.
The following safety precautions apply when -
ever operating the scissor lift:
• All operators should be trained in the safe opera-
tion of the dump system before operating the
machine or raising the debris tank.
• Always park the truck on solid, level ground be-
fore raising and dumping the debris tank. Never
attempt to dump on uneven or sloped ground.
• Always drain all the liquid from the debris
tank before raising the tank and dumping
the solids.
• Always apply vehicle park brake before operating
scissor lift to raise the tank.
• Always lower the kickstand to stabilize the truck
before raising the tank.
• Always look up and be aware of overhead clear-
ance when raising the tank.
• To avoid the possibility of electric shock, do not
raise the debris tank under or near any overhead
electrical cables or wires. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to injury or death.
• Always use the remote control to tilt the tank.
• Keep working area clear of all pedestrians when
operating scissor lift to raise the tank. Never
allow anyone to walk, stand, or perform work
near or below a raised debris tank.
• As the scissor lift mechanism moves up and
down, “pinch points” are formed. Make sure to
keep hands, feet, hair, jewelry, loose clothing,
etc. away from these pinch points. If any of these
items become caught, serious personal injury or
death could occur.
• After completing dumping operations, always
lower the debris tank to the full down position.
• Never move the vehicle with debris tank raised.
• Never allow personnel under a raised tank
without safety supports in place.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK FROM POWER LINES CAN CAUSE
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF THEY COME IN CONTACT
WITH THE DEBRIS TANK. ALWAYS CHECK THE AREA AND
MAKE SURE THE TRUCK IS A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY FROM
ANY POWER LINES BEFORE RAISING THE DEBRIS TANK.
WARNING
PINCH POINTS ARE FORMED AS THE SCISSOR LIFT LINKAGE
MOVES UP AND DOWN THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY
OR EVEN DEATH IF HANDS, FEET, HAIR, JEWELRY, LOOSE
CLOTHING, ETC. GET CAUGHT IN THESE PINCH POINTS.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE ALL PERSONNEL ARE WELL CLEAR
OF LIFT COMPONENTS AND LINKAGE BEFORE RAISING
THE DEBRIS TANK AND NEVER WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR
JEWELRY WHILE OPERATING RH7500.
RAISING THE DEBRIS TANK WITH THE TRUCK ON GROUND
THAT IS NOT LEVEL COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME
UNSTABLE AND TIP OVER ON ITS SIDE UNEXPECTEDLY,
CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND SEVERE INJURY
OR EVEN DEATH TO PERSONNEL. ALWAYS MAKE SURE
THE TRUCK IS LEVEL BEFORE RAISING THE DEBRIS TANK.
THE HEAT FROM WELDING CAN CHANGE THE TEMPER OF
STEEL AND WEAKEN THE LIFT LINKAGE. NEVER WELD ON
