Delivery Checks
Immediately on taking delivery of your new dumper, and before
putting it into service:
z Read this handbook completely -- it could save a great deal
of unnecessary expense. Put this Instruction Manual in its
holder on the engine canopy.
Read the engine handbook supplied with the dumper
z Check the general condition of the machine, -- has it been
damaged during delivery?
z Check the following, where appropriate:
Oil levels in engine, gearbox, transfer box, both axles
and torque converter.
Hydraulic oil and fuel levels using tank top level gauges.
Brake fluid level in the reservoir located under the floor
plate or seat support on 5, 6, 7 and 9 tonne dumpers.
Tyre pressures and the battery electrolyte level.
Coolant level in radiator - if fitted.
Recommended lubricants are detailed both on a prominent
transfer on the machine and also in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
Transportation
Loading
When loading the dumper onto a trailer or lorry, strong loading
ramps, a crane or similar lifting device should be used. See
Technical Data section for machine weights.
Ramps
z Ensure the trailer or lorry will not move during loading by
applying their brakes and also chocking their wheels if necessary.
z The angle of the ramps must not exceed the gradeability of the
machine and in wet or muddy conditions may need to be less.
Gradeability Will Be Reduced In Wet, Muddy, Oily Conditions
z It is recommended a winch is used whenever machine is
loaded using ramps. Use a two legged chain attached to
lashing points to secure the winch hook to machine.
Crane - except 9 Tonne
z A single lifting point is provided for lifting the complete machine.
The position of this point will ensure a safe stable lift of the
machine in working condition using standard lifting gear.
Other Methods of Lifting Are Not Recommended
