Safety is the responsibility of all persons working with this machine. Think
“safety” at all times. Read and remember the contents of this handbook.
The safe working recommendations for specific tasks are found with the
instructions for the relevant operation in this Handbook.
MACHINE MODIFICATION
WARNING Any modifications to the machine will affect its working parameters and
safety factors. Refer to the Manufacturers before fitting any non-standard
equipment or parts.
The Manufacturers accept no responsibility for any modifications made after
the machine has left the factory, unless previously agreed by the
Manufacturers in writing; the Manufacturers will accept no liability for damage
to property, personnel or the machine if failure is brought about due to such
modifications, or fitment of spurious parts.
TRAINING
WARNING Only trained operators should use this machine.
Operators should hold an appropriate full motor vehicle driving licence and
undergo both a safety awareness course and a driver training course for Site
dumpers run by the C.ITB or equivalent body leading to the award of a CTA.
It is strongly recommended that operators read the H.S.E. publication “Safe
Working with Small Dumpers” which is available from government
bookshops (HMSO) or from other bookshops quoting the following number
ISBN O11 8836935. Another useful publication is British Standard number
BS 6264, “Procedure for Operator Training For Earth Moving Machinery”
available from the British Standard Institution.
RUNNING-IN
WARNING While a gradual ‘running-in’ of a new engine is not necessary, it is extremely
important that the instructions given in Section 1 “Operation” on “Running-in
a new engine” should be followed very closely during the first fifty hours of
operation.
DRIVING
WARNING NEVER use the machine for purposes other than those for which it was
designed. This machine was designed to carry loads such as soil, clay,
sand, wet concrete, stone or other similar materials. It was not designed to
carry loads which may move around in the skip uncontrollably, nor to carry
any loads or materials which overhang the skip in any way. If in any doubt
as to the suitability of this machine for a particular task, contact your nearest
Distributor or the Manufacturer for advice.
