5.17. Handling of fuel and other chemicals
Take care when handling fuel. Before refuelling, switch off the engine and remove the ignition key. Never
refuel near open fires or ignitable sparks. When handling brake fluid, battery acid and hydraulic fluids,
take all necessary safety precautions.
5.18. Travel speed / brake power
The maximum brake power / braking distance is greatly influenced by the ground on which the vehicle is
driving! When driving down a slope or if the ground is icy or slippery, the braking distance is much longer
than on dry, level ground! Therefore always adjust the travel speed to the ground conditions!
5.19. Exiting the dumper
Before exiting the machine, lower the trough. Set all control devices to zero and secure them to prevent
unintentional operation. Apply the parking brake.
5.20. Loading / unloading
Articulated vehicles MUST be straightened before loading or unloading! For reasons of stability, compact
self-loading dumpers must only be loaded when they are standing on firm and level ground. Loading on
soft or uneven ground should be avoided.
