TRAINING
RUNNING-IN
DRIVING
SAFE
WORKING 1.1
Safety is the responsibility of the 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
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.
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.I.T.B. 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 011 8836935. Another useful publication is British Standard
number BS 6264, "Procedure for Operator Training For Earth Moving
Machinery" available from the British Standard Institution.
While a gradual 'running-in' of a new engine is not necessary, it is
extremely important that the instructions given in Section 2 "Operation" on
"Running-in a new engine" should be followed very closely during the first
fifty hours of operation.
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.

ALWAYS
be aware of local and national regulations governing the use of the
machine.
NEVER commence work with the machine until the “Daily (or every ten hours)”
service checks have been made. (See Service Section for details)
ALWAYS
check wheel nut tightness daily.
Never carry passengers.
Ensure that the seat is securely fixed to the machine. Where seat belt
restraints are fitted as part of Rops/Fops protection they must be worn. Check
that the seat belt is in good condition, free from cuts and frayed edges.
ALWAYS
remain in the driving seat whenever the engine is running. Never
attempt to operate any controls unless seated.
ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before leaving the driver’s seat.
NEVER dismount with the engine running, and never leave the machine
unattended with the key in the start switch.
When battery Isolators are fitted they must be activated only when the engine
is turned off except in cases of emergency.
Activating a Battery Isolator when the engine is running can result in damage
to the electrical components and circuits.
NEVER fill the fuel or hydraulic tanks with the engine running.
ALWAYS drive only on surfaces that are known to be stable.
ALWAYS keep the floor plates and walkways clean.
NEVER drive the machine close to the edge of any excavation. Always use
effective wheel stops to prevent the machine running close to the edge. Make
sure that the stops are in proportion to the size of the wheels and are set
sufficiently far enough back from the edge of the excavation to prevent the
weight of the load causing a collapse.
NEVER adjust the tyre pressures in an attempt to improve traction on soft
ground or obtain a softer ride on hard ground. Incorrectly adjusted tyres can
affect the steering and handling characteristics.
NEVER attempt to free a machine which is “bogged down” by pushing with the
bucket of a backhoe loader, tracked excavator or other similar machine.
NEVER make unnecessary “crash stops” when travelling at speed, especially
in forward direction.
Never work under an unpropped skip. If the dumper was supplied with a
special skip support always ensure that it is used.
1.2 SAFE WORKING

SKIPS AND LOADING
TOWING
GRADIENTS
SAFE
WORKING 1.3
NEVER exceed the rated payload. The weights of all loads above skip
water
level must be checked.
NEVER remain on the machine when loading the skip with
excavators or loaders. Stop the engine, apply the parking brake,
dismount, and stand well clear.
ALWAYS
ensure that the load is evenly distributed in the skip.
NEVER carry loads or heap materials in such a manner as to affect the
forward vision.
ALWAYS
take extra care when tipping non free running loads.
NEVER use the skip in a tipped position to bulldoze heaped materials
level or to backfill material into excavations.
NEVER attempt to start the engine of a dumper by towing or pushing.
Dumpers are not designed as towing vehicles. However, trailers may be
towed provided that:
1The combined weight of the trailer and its load does not exceed the
dumper "drawbar pull of 250kg (2500N)" and dumper "drawbar load
of 50kg (500N)".
2Trailers may be towed in first gear on level dry ground, provided a
purpose made towing pin is used.
3The dumper skip must be loaded with half the rated payload to
ensure tyre adhesion when braking.
NEVER tow loads up, down or across gradients.
NEVER operate Two Wheel Drive rigid chassis dumpers on any
gradients which exceed 10% (1 in 10), or across gradients which
exceed 10% (1 in 10).
ALWAYS
remember that slippery or loose surface conditions can adversely
affect safe machine operation, including braking, particularly on
gradients.
ALWAYS
choose routes that avoid steep, slippery or loose gradients.
NEVER coast down gradients. Always negotiate gradients in first gear.
ALWAYS
drive forwards up gradients when loaded.
ALWAYS reverse down gradients when loaded.
ALWAYS
keep the load facing uphill.

HYDRAULICS
SERVICING
1.4 SAFE WORKING
NEVER park on a gradient. Ifthis is unavoidable, ALWAYS chock the wheels.
NEVER attempt to turn on a gradient.
NEVER tow up, down or across a gradient.
NEVER operate high discharge or rotating skips on gradients.
ALWAYS
"Dump" residual pressure from the system before leaving the
machine or before carrying out any maintenance or adjustments.
If maintenance work requires the skip to be in the raised position, then it must
be raised and supported before dumping the pressure.
Dump pressure by switching off the engine, then moving the hydraulic
control lever several times in each direction.
NEVER leave the machine unattended with pressure in the system.
ALWAYS
purge hydraulic rams before commencing work. With the engine
running operate the hydraulic control to fully extend and retract the rams.
ALWAYS
practise the greatest cleanliness in maintaining hydraulic components.
ALWAYS report any defect at once, before an accident or consequential
damage can occur.
ALWAYS
conform to service schedules except where:
1 Warning lights or warning indicators call for immediate attention.
2Adverse conditions necessitate more frequent servicing.
ALWAYS
wear correctly fitting protective clothing. Loose or baggy clothing can be
extremely dangerous when working on running engines or machinery.
ALWAYS,
where possible, work on or close to
engines or machinery only
when they are stopped. If this is not practical, remember to keep tools,
test
equipment and all parts of your body well away from the moving parts.
ALWAYS
"Dump" pressure from the hydraulic system before carrying out any
kind of maintenance or adjustment. (see Service - Hydraulic system).
ALWAYS
avoid contact with exhaust pipes, exhaust manifolds and silencers
when the engine is running; these can be very hot.
ALWAYS
work out of doors, or in a well-ventilated area.
NEVER run an engine in an enclosed space. Exhaust fumes in enclosed
areas can kill.

SAFE
WORKING 1.5
ALWAYS
disconnect battery cables and remove battery before using an
external charger, carrying out welding repairs or to prevent unauthorised
usage when unattended or during a repair.
NEVER allow unqualified personnel to attempt to repair, remove or replace
any part of the machine, or anyone to remove large or heavy components
without adequate lifting tackle.
NEVER attempt to modify or repair Rops Frames or Fops Canopies by
welding, drilling or any other means. Attempts to do so will invalidate
Rops/Fops Certification.
ALWAYS
obtain advice before mixing oils; some are incompatible. If in
doubt drain and refill.
NEVER allow oils and fuels to come into regular contact with skin. This
can lead to serious skin diseases including, medical evidence suggests,
skin cancer. ALWAYS wear protective gloves when handling oils and
fuels whether topping up, draining or refilling. ALWAYS wash hands if oils or
fuels come into contact with the skin.
Many liquids used in this machine are harmful if taken internally or
splashed into the eyes. In the event of accidentally swallowing oils, fuels,
anti-freeze, battery acid etc, DO NOT encourage vomiting, seek qualified
medical assistance immediately.
ALWAYS
dispose of waste oils and fuels into waste oil storage tanks. If
storage tanks are not available consult your distributor or local authority for
addresses of local designated disposal points. It is illegal to dispose of
waste oil into drains or
water courses or to bury it.
ALWAYS
dispose of unserviceable batteries safely. Comply with local
byelaws and national regulations on the disposal of hazardous waste.
Consult your local authority for addresses of local designated disposal
points.
Equipment that includes friction materials will sometimes contain asbestos.
When removing friction material dust from components, such as when
servicing brakes or clutches, do not blow out with an airline; it could be
harmful to inhale the dust. Remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner or wipe
clean with a damp rag. Waste should be placed in a sealed container,
marked, and disposed of in accordance with local or national regulations.
The accumulated dust found in clutch housings may contain lead/antimony.
No food should be eaten at a work place contaminated by this dust. Hands
must be washed before eating. Do not blow out dust with an airline.
NEVER work under an unpropped skip. If the dumper was supplied with a
special Skip Support always ensure that it is used.
ALWAYS
ensure, when using a starting handle, that it is clean and in
good condition. Keep the engine starting dog and the part of the
starting handle that mates with it lightly lubricated (Refer to the Engine
Handbook).

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that the
following instructions should be followed
very closely during the first fifty hours of
operation.
1Avoid overloading the engine.
2Use the lower gears when
operating with heavy loads, and
avoid continuous operation at constant
engine speeds.
3 Check the instruments frequently, and
keep the oil compartments and the
hydraulic reservoirs filled to their
recommended levels.
4Do not operate the engine at high
speeds without a load.
5Do not allow the engine to run at idle
speeds for long periods; this may
cause bore glazing and an
increase in oil consumption.
Operating in this way throughout the
machine's life will prove beneficial to its
overall performance and efficiency.
Pre-start Checks
NEVER commence work with
the machine until the checks
detailed in "Every 10
operating hours, or daily"
have been carried out. (See
Service Schedule).
Check that all controls are clean and not
slippery, and that they all function correctly.
Check that the areas around pivot points,
rams and linkages are all free from mud,
ice and debris.

Automatic Exess Fuel Device
The engine is fitted with an automatic
excess fuel device which becomes
operative, ready for the next start,
when the engine is stopped.
If the engine stops other than by the
operation of the engine control, the
control (C) must be turned anti-
clockwise to the 'STOP' position and
released before the device can
operate.
As the engine runs up to speed the
excess fuel device will automatically
reset to the normal running position.

A cup and plunger is normally fitted to
the combustion air intake port on TR
and TS engines.
With the fuel turned on, turn the
engine for up to 20 revolutions to
prime the fuel and lubrication
systems.
Withdraw the plunger (H) and fill
one third of the cup (J) with the
same type of lubricating oil as used
in the engine.
Replace the plunger and inject the
oil just before starting the engine.
The device must not be used
more than three times in
succession during the same
attempt to start the engine.
2.4 OPERATION
DRIVING THE DUMPER

Hand starting TS/TR2 engines
Ensure the parking brake is in the
raised "ON" position.
Ensure gear lever is in the neutral

Key Starting TS/TR2 engines
Ensure the parking brake is in the
raised "ON" position.
Ensure the gear lever is in the
neutral position.
Fully depress and hold down both
clutch and accelerator pedals.
Note: (From January 1995 on UK/EEC
specification dumpers) A starter
inhibitor switch has been fitted to the
clutch pedal. This causes the starter
to be 'dead' until the clutch pedal is
fully depressed.
Dumpers that are not to UK/EEC
specification do not have this
feature.
Check that the decompressor levers,
(if fitted) are away (N) from the flywheel.
Turn the engine control lever anti-
clockwise to the "STOP" position (L)
and release it.
Turn the start key clockwise to
position (1),the battery charging light
(P) will illuminate.
Turn the key and hold at the "START"
position (2) until the engine fires and
then release it immediately.
If the engine fails to start within 20
seconds, release the key and attempt
to restart after allowing sufficient time
for all moving parts to stop.
Stopping the engine
Never stop the engine by
operating the decompressor
levers or valve damage may
occur.
Key start engines: Turning
the starter key to the "OFF"
(0) position will not stop the
engine unless an optional
fuel control solenoid is fitted.
It is advisable to run on light load
for a few minutes before stopping.
Turn the engine control anti-clockwise
to the "STOP" position (L) and hold it
there until the engine comes to rest.
Key start engines: After the engine has
stopped, turn the starter key to the
"OFF" (0) position.
2.6 OPERATION
DRIVING THE DUMPER

Gradients
IMPORTANT: Read the notes in "Safe
Working" and also remember the
following:
Slippery or loose surface conditions
can adversely affect safe machine
operation, particularly on gradients.
ALWAYS choose routes that avoid
steep, slippery or loose gradients.
NEVER park the machine on a gradient.
NEVER attempt to turn on, or drive
across, a gradient.
ALWAYS drive forwards up gradients
when loaded.
ALWAYS reverse down gradients when
loaded.
NEVER tow up or down gradients.
NEVER operate on a gradient which
exceeds 10% (1 in 10), or across
gradients which exceed 10% (1 in 10).
This should be reduced where surfaces
are wet or unstable.
NEVER operate high discharge or
rotating skip options on gradients.
Braking
The brake pedal operates a hydraulic
master cylinder that supplies oil to
brakes within the front axle.
The handbrake operates a caliper
that acts upon a disc mounted on the
transmission.
There are no brakes on the rear axle.
Engaging gear lever
When changing gear, always depress
the clutch pedal before moving the
gear lever from one gear to another.
Stopping the dumper
IMPORTANT: Never make
unnecessary 'crash' stops when
travelling at speed, especially in
forward direction.
Release accelerator and brake to a
halt progressively.
Select neutral gear.
Apply parking brake when stationary.
Stop the engine. Turn the starter key
to the 'OFF' position, and remove the
key.
Leaving the dumper
Ensure the machine is parked on
firm, level ground. Do not park on a
gradient.
Check that the parking brake is
applied. Ensure that the skip is fully
lowered.
With the engine stopped, operate the
hydraulic lever (where fitted) fully in
each direction several times to 'dump'
hydraulic pressure from the system.
Remove starter key (where fitted) from
switch.
Electric start dumpers: If unattended for
some time, remove earth cable from
battery, or activate the Battery Isolator,
(where fitted).
OPERATION 2.7
DRIVING THE DUMPER

Skip operation
Loading
Never remain on the dumper when
using excavators or loaders to load
the skip. Stop the engine, apply the
parking brake, dismount, and stand well
clear.
Ensure that the load is evenly distributed
in the skip. Never carry loads in such a
manner as to affect the forward vision.
Never exceed the rated payload. The
weights of all loads above skip water
level must be checked.
Tipping
Only discharge on level ground.
It is recommended that only free flowing
materials be tipped. Take extra care when
tipping non free running loads.
Skip control lever
The control lever has three positions; they
are, Tip (or Dump), Hold and Return.
To tip the skip:
Move the lever to DUMP.
To return the skip:
Move the lever to RETURN.
If the lever is released when in the DUMP
or RETURN position, it will
automatically return to the central HOLD
position and movement of the skip will stop.
In this way, the speed at which the skip is
tipped can be finely controlled.
Towing with the dumper
Dumpers are not designed as towing
vehicles, however, trailers may be towed
providing that:
1The combined weight of the trailer and
its load does not exceed the
specified maximum dumper drawbar
pull and dumper drawbar load (see
“specifications").
2Trailers may be towed in first gear
on level dry ground, provided a
purpose made towing pin is used.
3The dumper skip must be loaded
with half the rated payload to ensure
tyre adhesion when braking.
Never tow loads up, down or across
gradients.
Towing the dumper
The dumper should only be towed if
recovery is needed of a broken-down
unit, or to free a "bogged down" machine.
Always ensure that ropes, chains, etc.
used to tow the dumper have sufficient
safe working load capability.
When towing the dumper, always ensure
that the speed is kept to an absolute
minimum.
Always tow the dumper with the gear lever
in neutral.
Never attempt to start the dumper by
pushing or towing.
