Loading And Unloading A Dump Trailer ! WARNING Do not transport flammable, explosive, poisonous or other dangerous materials in your trailer. The exception is fuel in the tank of vehicles or equipment being hauled. ! WARNING RAISED DUMP BODY CAN DROP OR TIP OVER SUDDENLY. YOU AND OTHERS CAN DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. YOU MUST: �� Have trailer on level, firm ground before dumping. �� Keep others away while dumping. �� Stay at controls until dump body is down. NEVER LEAVE THE SCENE WHEN DUMP BODY IS LIFTED. �� Lock hoist controls after use. �� Have dump body down before moving trailer. �� Use body prop and have dump body empty before getting under raised dump body. �� If the hoist does not lift the load, manually reduce the load - obtain service from a qualified hydraulics technician. NEVER ASSIST THE HOIST. (i.e., with a jack, crane, heavy equipment, etc.) �� If the load does not leave the dump body, lower the dump body and manually free the load. �� Never attempt to free a load from a raised dump body. LOADING BULK MATERIAL �� Couple the trailer to the tow vehicle. �� Park the trailer and tow vehicle on a firm and level surface, both side-to-side 96 and front-to-rear. �� Check the dump body for damage. Repair before loading trailer. �� Close and latch trailer gates. �� Tell the loader operator the GVWR of your trailer. The loader operator will have an approximate weight of the material to be loaded. �� Use common sense when loading. If you are uncertain of the weight of the material, load a small amount and weigh your trailer. It is much easier to add to a light load than to remove material from an overloaded trailer.
