Never Elevate Dumper Skips Unless
the Dumper Is On Level Ground
The dumper vehicle is basically a load carrier and can be used
for a multitude of building/contracting site functions, but
essentially it is used for carrying materials from excavations or
demolitions and commonly carrying materials to general building
activities. The carrying of soil, sand, gravel, debris, bricks etc.
requires that the materials can be placed accurately at the place
point and in some cases without damage to the materials
themselves.
It is for this reason that the load carrying skip is power lifted and
lowered by means of double acting hydraulic cylinder(s) mounted
between the front chassis and the underside of the skip which is
(are) controlled from the drivers seat by a double acting hydraulic
control valve.
The power for the system is provided by an engine driven
hydraulic pump and the circuit is described in detail in the
Hydraulic System section.
The skip in the lowered or loading position is located such that
the driver has a good view ahead, therefore when loading the skip
get off the machine and do not allow the load to be heaped in such
a fashion as to impair the drivers view.
Do Not Use the Raised Skip as a Bulldozer Blade
Swing Only
This special purpose skip enables the load to be discharged
through a range of 180º about the fore and aft axis of the dumper.
This feature is particularly useful for side tipping into trenches,
but because of this feature it is important that only free flowing
materials are used.
Only Use Swing Skip For Free Flowing Materials
