Machine Data
SKIP & LOADING INFORMATION
The machine is fitted with a load carrying skip which is able to swivel to the left and right of
the machine.
CAPACITIES
Max. safe load: 9000 kg
Heaped: 4427 Litres
Struck: 3126 Litres
Water: 2492 Litres
Never attempt to load the skip beyond its rated capacity
This dumper is basically a load carrying vehicle, that can be used for a multitude of
building/contracting site work, but essentially used to transport materials away from
excavators and other building material. The dumper will allow, if used in the correct manner
the operator to accurately place material such as soil, sand, clay, stone, debris etc. in the drop
point without damage to the material or themselves.
In the lowered or load position the skip is seated in such a fashion so that the driver has
ample view ahead. Therefore when loading the skip get off the machine and do not allow
the load to be heaped in such away that will impair view.
Before moving off on the dumper insure that the skip is in the forward facing direction and
locked in to the skip anti rotation lock on the chassis bed. Like wise before side tipping the
load using the swivel function ensure that the skip is elevated enough to clear the anti
rotation lock.
The following information is provided for operators for their own safety.
Stay within the safe working limits of the machine. Never attempt to use
the dumper for any task other than what it was intended for by the
manufacturer. Failure to do so could result in serious injury of DEATH.
Never Elevate The Skip Unless The Machine Is On Level Ground .
Do Not Use The Edge Of The Skip When Raised As A Dozer Blade.
The maximum distance to travel with a fully laden dumper is 1km at 30kph
To stop the tyre overheating.

Machine Data
STEERING
Steering of the dumper is by an ‘Orbital’ hydrostatic steering unit, that articulates the centre
of the machine using a hydraulic cylinder which in turn gives a steering motion.
TRANSMISSION
The dumper is fitted with a torque converter transmission coupled to a four speed shuttle
gearbox.
BRAKES
Braking is provided by oil immersed brakes sealed inside on both front and back axles. The
brakes are self adjusting, carbon multi-plate discs which are operated via a single master
cylinder.
Handbrake may be applied to stop the dumper in an emergency.
ENGINE
This machine has a four cylinder diesel engine that transmits power to the wheels via a
mechanical gearbox and axles. The dumper is equipped with electric start from a key on the
steering column. A battery isolator is provided under the bonnet in the engine compartment.

Safety Information
ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURE (ROPS)
FATIGUE AND FINITE LIFE PROBLEMS WITH ROPS.
ROPS on the whole are maintenance free but in the unlikely event of a failure it is usually
due to the operator not inspecting or periodically checking the ROPS for cracks, loose bolts,
damage or other normal wear and tear. Proper maintenance and routine checks of the ROPS
on the machine will insure lifesaving function and long life of the system.
FACTORS THAT LEAD TO MISUSE OR DAMAGE TO ROPS
• Vibration can cause structure damage and/or when loading in some instances.
• A corrosive environment.
• Continued use of the ROPS after a roll over causing damage to the structure.
• Unauthorized Modifications to the ROPS.
• Mount fatigue.
• Replacing bolts with the wrong grade or wrong torque setting.
• Incorrect installation.
ATTACHMENT AND/OR MODIFICATIONS
ROPS are not intended as a load carrying member and should not be used to mount things
such as, pull hooks, winches, booms, etc. Non load bearing attachments such as mirrors,
fans, heaters, lights, etc. can be installed using manufacturers guidance.
REPAIR & MAINTENANCE
• Water drainage holes should be kept free from dirt or blockages so that water does not get
trapped and freeze damaging the structure.
• Paint peeling or corrosion on the ROPS should get immediate attention.
• Replacement of the ROPS or mounts should be done in a professional way, replace worn
bolts and re-torque to correct settings.

Safety Information
SEAT BELT INFORMATION
• Improper inspection of the seat belt could cause serious injury or loss of
life in the event of an accident.
• In the event of an accident the entire seat belt system must be replaced.
• If needed the seat belt must be replaced throughout the life of the
machine. The belt must get inspected at least once a year or more often
if the belt is exposed to harsh conditions.
• If the seat belt shows signs of wear it is vital that the entire belt both
sides are replaced.
Before operating the machine it essential that all drivers
put on the seat belt.
To fit the seat belt correctly, pull the belt around your
waist and press buckle blade into buckle lock.
Pull belt webbing through buckle blade to remove slack.
The seat belt must be correctly adjusted every time.
If the belt is worn loose in the event of an accident or roll
over it may cause serious injury.
To release the seat belt press either of the red buttons on
the buckle lock and allow the seat belt to fully retract.
Buckle up it could save your life.
NOTE:
Keep the buckle area clean and dry. Dirt and other foreign items can gum up the works and
prevent your belt from buckling correctly, thereby weakening its ability to hold you firmly in
place during an accident or roll over.
If your seat belt does get dirty and needs cleaning use mild soap and warm water. Do not
use a strong detergent, bleach or dye, since these caustic fluids may weaken the belt's
material.
