dump body.
Clear the area around the dump trailer.
Park the tow vehicle and trailer on a firm and level surface both side-to-side

the trailer to overturn, which can result in death or serious injury.
For spreading material, the surface in which the tow vehicle and trailer will
travel MUST be firm and level.

A soft and/or uneven surface may cause the tow vehicle and
trailer to overturn when the dump body is raised or while
spreading material.
Raise the dump body ONLY if the tow vehicle and trailer are both
on a firm and level surface.
