12. OPERATION 12.10 OPERATING DUMP BODY WARNING When dumping a load, always carry out the dumping opera- tion in accordance with the signals from the flagman. When dumping large rocks, operate the dump body slowly. Do not load the dump body while it is still raised. When carrying out inspection with the dump body raised, always use the safety pins, set the dump lever to the HOLD position and lock it securely. For details, see “11.5 SAFETY PIN”. Operate the dump body as follows. 1. Place shift lever 1 at the N position, and set parking brake lever 2 to the PARKING position. N PARKING AE61745B 2.
Move dump lever 3 to the RAISE position, then depress the accelerator pedal to raise the dump body. If the dump lever is released when it is at the RAISE position, it is held at the RAISE position and the dump body will continue to rise. The dumping speed increases in proportion to the engine speed. 3. When the dump body rises to the previously set position (dump body positioner adjustment position), dump lever 3 is returned to the HOLD position. The dump body is then held at that position. If it is necessary to raise the dump body further, move dump lever 3 back to the RAISE position and the dump body will rise.
If dump lever 3 is released when doing this, it will return to the HOLD position and the dump body will stop at that position. 2-88
