• Check the correct functioning of alarms and signalling devices (for example:
acoustic warning, obstruction indicator for the air admission filter, etc.)
• Check that all the information and safety advice plates on the dumper are clean and
in good condition.
• Check that the lighting and signalling system is clean and working properly
• Check battery connections and electrolyte level
• Adjust the seat position so that you are comfortable and can easily reach the
controls
• Do not start the engine or operate the controls unless you are seated in the cab.
• For your safety in the case of overturning, do not forget to correctly adjust and
fasten the seat belt.
• Keep the driving area clear of all objects or tools that could move about and might
obstruct a control and prevent you from carrying out a manoeuvre when required.
(fig. 1)
• Although not recommended, if you use a spray with ether to start the dumper in low
temperatures, do so in well ventilated areas, do not smoke during the operation and
spray small amounts.
• These pressurised containers should be stored away from heat sources, and when
empty they should neither be thrown on fires nor crushed as there may be a risk of
explosion.
• Always stop the engine before refuelling and never smoke during the process
Do not mix gasoline or alcohol with the fuel
When operating the dumper, do not forget... (fig. 2, 3, 4)
• If you notice any anomaly while using the dumper, inform your superior or
maintenance service immediately.
• Keep hands, feet and the whole body in general inside the area provided for the
operator.
• Pay special attention to work on slopes, move slowly, avoid being situated crosswise
and do not operate slopes which exceed the recommended gradient. A slope
within the recommended gradient does not mean that this slope manoeuvred on
with absolute safety under any load, terrain or handling conditions. Descend slopes
in reverse gear, with the load, therefore, in the most stable direction. (fig. 2)
• It is not recommended to operate on slopes greater than 20% where the ground is
wet or 30% where it is dry.
• Never descend a slope with the transmission lever in neutral.
• Give way to any pedestrians you might come across while driving.
• The dumper must not be used to transport people, other than the driver, unless
adequate seats have been provided (fig. 3).
• Do not overload the dumper. Carry out manoeuvres gently, especially when
changing direction on slippery ground.
• Ensure that you have good visibility of the track, if the load obstructs visibility, drive
in reverse gear and increase precautions (fig. 4).
• When approaching a crossroads with poor visibility, slow down, sound your horn
and move forwards slowly in accordance with your level of visibility.
• The speed of the dumper should be adjusted at all times to the work conditions and
the area where it is being carried out. Regularly driving the machine at maximum
speed may represent a danger to the operator and to his or her surroundings.
