2 to 9 Tonne Dumper Instruction Manual
Maintenance
Front and Rear Axles
Totally enclosed sealed multi-plate brake axles are fitted, which
have automatic compensation for wear of the friction discs.
Normal servicing is limited to lubrication as detailed in the
schedule in the Maintenance section, details of procedures for
major repairs may be obtained from the manufacturer.
Over a period of time wear may necessitate replacement of the
friction discs and/or the slave cylinder seals. These parts should
be replaced as required and the system bled in accordance with
the brake bleeding instructions in the Brakes section.
The Dumper MUST be On Firm Level
Ground When Checking / Changing Oils
Checking Axle Oil Level
z Position the machine on level ground.
z Clean dirt from around oil level / filler plug.
z Remove the oil level / filler plug.
z The oil level should be level with the bottom of the oil level
/ filler plug hole.
z Add the specified oil, as required, until the oil begins to run
out of oil level / filler plug hole. See Lubrication Points and
Lubricants section for correct oil.
z Refit the filler plug.
Changing Axle Oil
z Ensure axle oil is warm - Not Hot, to facilitate draining.
Position the machine on level ground.
z Clean dirt from around drain plug and oil level / filler plug.
z Place a suitable container of adequate size under the drain plug.
z Remove the oil level / filler plug and remove the drain plug.

Removal
z Ensure the machine is positioned on firm, level ground
and the handbrake is ON and the rear wheels are chocked.
z Elevate the skip and PROP. Clean the area around the front
axle and front frame.
z Loosen the front wheel nuts.
z Lift and support the front of the dumper so front wheels are
just clear of the floor. Leave a 'trolley' jack positioned unde
the centre of the axle - this will be used to lower and pull the
axle from under the dumper.

lower the front of the propshaft on to the ground.
