Operating the Hopper
Operating the Hopper Safety
• When dumping, do not let anyone stand behind
the machine.
• Ensure that there is enough clearance above
when raising the hopper; otherwise, you could
damage the machine.
• Use extra caution when operating the machine on
wet surfaces, on slopes, at higher speeds, or with
a full load. Stopping time increases with a full load.
• Keep all bystanders away . Before backing up, look
to the rear and ensure that no one is behind the
machine. Back up slowly .
• Use extra caution and avoid moving the machine
with the hopper in the raised position.
• Keep bystanders away from the machine when
lowering the hopper .
