FOREWORD
This handbook is intended to provide the HAULPAK®operator with the necessary
information to allow for safe and efficient truck operation.
The HAULPAK®operator should be a qualified individual who has had proper training to
achieve full production with the truck. An efficient, qualified operator can help insure long
production life of the truck and avoid costly down time due to misuse of the unit and its
systems. Training for both operators and maintenance personnel is recommended and is
available upon request. Operator training is accomplished at the job site by qualified
operator instructors. Maintenance training is provided both in the factory setting and in
field schools. All requests for operator and/or maintenance training should be forwarded
to the local HAULPAK®Distributor for action.
This handbook shows dimensioning of U.S. standard and metric (SI) units, and all
references to "Right", "Left", "Front", or "Rear" are made with respect to the operator’s
normal seated position, unless specifically stated otherwise. Illustrations used in this
handbook are typically representative and may not necessarily depict a specific model.
A Product Identification plate is normally located on the frame in front of the right side front
wheel and designates the Truck Model Number, Product Identification Number (vehicle
serial number), and Maximum G.V.W. (Gross Vehicle Weight) rating.
The HAULPAK®Model designation consists of three numbers and one letter (i.e. 210M).
Thethreenumbersrepresentthebasictruckmodel.Theletter"M"designatesaMechanical
drive and the letter "E" designates an Electrical propulsion system.
The Product Identification Number (vehicle serial number) contains information which will
identify the original manufacturing bill of material for this unit. This complete number will
be necessary for proper ordering of many service parts and/or warranty consideration.
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is what determines the load on the drive train, frame,
tires, and other components. The vehicle design and application guidelines are sensitive
to the total maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and this means the total weight:
the Empty Vehicle Weight + the fuel/lubricants + the payload.
To determine allowable payload:
Service all lubricants for proper level and fill fuel tank of empty truck (which includes all
accessories, body liners, tailgates, etc.) and then weigh truck.
Record this value and subtract from the GVW rating. The result is the allowable payload.
NOTE:Accumulationsofmud,frozenmaterial,etc.becomeapartoftheGVWandreduces
allowable payload. To maximize payload and to keep from exceeding the GVW rating,
these accumulations should be removed as often as practical.
Exceeding the allowable payload will reduce expected life of truck components.
