Designed use
of the dumpers
 The dumpers have been designed and manufactured for the transport of loose
materials, (mortar, cement, sand, gravel and rubble or materials from demolitions).
Any other use should be considered outside of the intended use and therefore improper.
Close adherence to the operation, maintenance and repair conditions specified by the
manufacturer is essential for good use of this vehicle.
Driving, maintenance and repair of the dumper must only be entrusted to duly trained
personnel, who have the required tools and know the intervention and safety procedures
relating to the dumper.
Health and safety at work and accident prevention standards should be respected during
all transport, maintenance or repair operations. Current legislation must be adhered to
(Highway Code) when driving on public roads.
AUSA shall not be responsible for any possible harm caused by any modification carried
out on the dumper without their express authorisation.
 Improper use
