Caution of dump operation
1. If dumping is carried out on a slope, uneven
ground or soft ground, the center of gravity may
move and the machine may turn over.
Carry out dumping on flat and solid grounds where
the machine may be maintained as horizontally as
possible.
2. Avoid dumping on cliffs or near ditches in danger
of falling as far as possible.
If it is necessary to carry out dumping in such
places, use buffers or post a guide as the
necessity requires. Be sure to observe
instructions of the guide.

slowly. If there is a too big object to be dumped
through the rear gate, remove the gate in advance.
4. Make sure that the body has lowered completely
before starting the machine.

travel keeping the body lowered.
