Working the Truck
The following precautions should be observed when approaching the loading
area and while being loaded -
Avoid rocks and other shovel spillage that can needlessly damage
tyres or other truck components. Allow the cleanup machine sufficient
time to clear up such debris.
Do not move the truck into loading position with the shovel bucket
swinging overhead. Large rocks that might fall from the bucket can be
dangerous to both the truck and operator.
Keep your head and arms inside the cab during loading to avoid the
danger of falling rocks or other shovel spillage.
When the loader operator signals that the truck is loaded, sound two blasts on
the horn, release the brakes and shift the transmission to drive (D). Move out of
the loading area and onto the haul road with the least possible delay to allow any
waiting truck to move into the loading position as soon as possible.
