REMARK
• The angle of the steering wheel may change (the position of the spoke may change slightly) when the ma-
chine is traveling, but this is not a failure.
• If force is applied to the steering wheel when the tires have been turned fully to the right or left, the steering
wheel will turn a little at a time, but this is not a failure.
METHOD FOR LOADING
WARNING
Do not load while dump body is raised.
NOTICE
• When traveling, always set the dump lever to “FLOAT” position, regardless of whether the machine
is loaded or not loaded.
• If the gear shift lever is shifted to a position other than NEUTRAL position (N) when the dump lever
is not at “FLOAT” position, the centralized warning lamp will light up and the alarm buzzer will
sound.
• During the loading operations, do not apply the parking brake. Apply the retarder brake.
• To maintain the operation of the retarder brake, do not stop the engine during the loading work.
If large rocks are loaded directly onto the dump body by using a large-sized loader, etc., the dump body may be
deformed locally.
1.
When loading the large rocks, load the soil and sand first as cushion material.
2.
After loading the soil and sand, load the rock onto them.
The impacts to the dump body are reduced by this method.
In addition, when loading the rocks that exceed the following conditions, install the optional body reinforcement
plate.
• Rocks with one side 0.5 m or more
• Rocks of hardness more than 4.5 (Mohs scale)
• A rock with weight of 300 kg or more
• When transporting the steel ingots
METHOD FOR DUMPING
WARNING
• Always follow the instructions of the signalman when
performing dumping operations.
• When dumping the large rocks, operate the dump
body slowly.
• When performing the inspection or maintenance with
the dump body raised, always use the body pivot pin
and lock the dump lever at “HOLD” position.
