2 to 9 Tonne Dumper Instruction Manual
Operating Instructions
Gradients
ALWAYS Reverse Down Steep Inclines
When ascending or descending a gradient, especially when the
skip is loaded, the skip MUST ALWAYS face the top of the
incline. See diagram for the CORRECT and INCORRECT way
to ascend and descend gradients.
ONLY Fill Swing Skip with Free Flowing Materials
Crossing Gradients
Muddy, slippy ground conditions will adversely affect the
ascending and descending capabilities of the dumper. However,
these ground conditions can be even more dangerous when
crossing a gradient. Greater care must be taken when
crossing a gradient to prevent the machine sliding sideways
out of the operators control.
See Torque Converter & Shuttle Gearbox section in this
manual for further information.
Do Not Drive on Land which may cause the Dumper to
Exceed the Maximum Safe Gradient Limits Shown
NEVER FREEWHEEL THE DUMPER
The Machine Must Always be in Gear when Being Used
