Machine Data
SKIP & LOADING INFORMATION
The dumper is fitted with a swivelling load carrying skip for transporting bulk materials
commonly found on construction sites.
CAPACITIES
Max. safe load: 1500 kg
Heaped: 815 Litres
Struck: 605 Litres
Water: 480 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 fully lowered and the swivel lock is
engaged.
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 Tip or Swivel 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 15kph
To stop the tyre overheating.

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.
Page 23

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.

CLIMBING / DESCENDING GRADIENTS
DO NOT exceed the maximum stated GRADIENTS to avoid serious injury or DEATH
Always reverse down steep inclines.
ONLY fill the skip with free flowing
materials.
Avoid driving down gradients if
possible. Use the brakes softly as sudden
sharp braking will induce weight
transfer on to the front wheels and may
cause stability issues.
When ascending or descending a gradient, especially when the skip is loaded,
the skip MUST ALWAYS face the incline.
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM STATED GRADIENTS.

USING THE DUMPER FOR TOWING LOADS
This dumper is not designed as a towing vehicle, but if the machine has to be used for
towing an implement make sure the weight of any trailer and its load does not exceed half
the rated payload of the dumper. It is important that if the dumper is used as a towing vehicle
the skip is half loaded to give equal brake balance on both axles. Never tow on steep
gradients as “Jack Knifing” could occur.
TRANSPORTATION
LOADING
If the dumper has to be loaded onto a lorry or trailer, strong loading ramps should be used to
support the weight of the machine, see technical data for dumper weight.
RAMPS
•
When loading the dumper onto a lorry or trailer the wheels must be chocked if necessary.
•
For loading the dumper the angle of the ramp must not exceed the grade-ability of the
machine, in wet slippery conditions the loading angle may need to be less.
•
When loading the dumper onto a lorry or trailer it is recommended that a winch is used to
propel the machine up the loading ramps. The brakes will need to be released in the rear
wheel motors. Also the hydrostatic pump needs to be by passed, refer to next page. To
attach the winch to the dumper use a two legged chain attached to the correct tying points
at the front of the machine (A).
•
Secure the dumper to the lorry chassis using chains, straps or ropes capable of holding the
machine, attached to the lashing points on the dumper.
LASHING POINTS
Lashing points (A) and (B) in the picture below should be used to tie the machine to a lorry
or trailer bed. These points are on either side of the dumper. They can also be used to tow
the vehicle, i.e. onto a transporters etc.
Grade-ability Will Be Reduced In Wet, Muddy, Oily Conditions.
Lifting The Machine To Load Is Not Recommended.
