warns you of the possibility of danger. Carefully read,
understand and follow all safety recommendations
before operating the equipment.
1) Careful operation is the best assurance against
accidents. Carefully read this manual and follow
all recommendations before operating this
equipment. It is the owner’s responsibility to
make sure that anyone who will operate the Trailer
will read this manual before operating the
equipment.
2) Do not modify the equipment. Any non
authorized modification may affect the efficiency
and/or safety of the equipment.
3) Never operate the equipment with defective parts
or if damaged in any way. Have it repaired before
using it.
4) Make sure all fasteners are in place and properly
secured or tightened. Refer to torque chart on
page 25.
5) Hydraulic fluids under pressure can damage your
skin. Do not use your hands to locate a leak.
6) Battery (with 12V hydraulic system) contains
GENERAL SAFETY
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing.
SAFETY IN OPERATION
1) WARNING! Do not overload your trailer, do not
exceed the load capacity indicated in the
specifications on page 12.
2) Be sure there are no obstructions around the
equipment and that no one stands near the
equipment when in use.
3) Do not operate an engine in a confined or non
ventilated area.
4) Do not perform any adjustments, cleaning, mainte-
nance or repairs with the engine running on the
towing vehicule. Preferably remove the key from
the ignition.
5) Be careful when backing-up, make sure you have
good visibility.

install the pins in the two ball-joints on the side
you wish to dump the load, and release the adja-
cent panel.

regulations and common sense. In the case of
agricultural service tires, follow the manufacturer's
specified safe speed. The road speed should be
such as to maintain full control over steering and
braking.

START-UP
- 9 -
7) Verify for adequate tightness of all fastening
devices. Refer to torque chart on page 25.
8) Operate the hydraulic system a few times, raising
and lowering the platform in order to remove any
trapped air in the system. Then check the oil level
in the tractor's hydraulic oil reservoir.
9) With the 3-way dump trailer, the ball-joint pins are
usually installed in a diagonal configuration to
prevent tipping during handling. They must be
installed on the side you wish to dump the load.

ration when using your Dump Trailer.
10) Do not forget to unlock the proper panel before
dumping.
BASIC START-UP PROCEDURES

before adding grease in order to avoid injecting
dirt or sand.
2) Repair or replace damaged grease fittings.
3) Lubricate all grease fittings every 20 hours of
operation.
4) Check all bolts on wheels after first 5 hours of
operation and then every 50 hours of operation.
5) Lubricate panel release mechanism, front and rear,
every 20 hours of operation.
6) Check tire pressure every 50 hours of operation,
adjust according to manufacturer's
recommendation indicated on the tires.
7) Check brakes once a year and adjust or repair if
necessary.
8) Open, clean and lubricate wheel bearings once a
year.
9) Check all nuts and bolts once a year. If necessary
use torque chart on page 25.

STORAGE
1) Store in a cool, dry place.
2) Install wooden blocks under the axles to keep the
tires off the ground and cover them if left exposed
to the sun.

will assure better protection against the elements.
4) Clean your trailer.
5) Thoroughly inspect all parts of the trailer. Replace
or repair worn or defective parts.
