Loading And Unloading A Dump Trailer
Dump Controller
101
Return the dump body control to the battery box. Watch for and avoid
obstructions such as tree limbs, overhead lines, potholes, etc. and SLOWLY
drive the tow vehicle and trailer ahead to spread the material.
DO NOT drive forward and stop quickly to “shock” the load out of the body.
DO NOT “jerk” the control button up and down to dislodge the load. The
proper procedure for a stuck load is to fully lower the dump and dislodge
the material by hand.
You may need to raise the dump body higher after a portion of the load has
been spread to place the remaining material at the rear of the dump body.
Stop tow vehicle after all material has exited the dump body.
Press and hold button (4) to lower the dump body. (See previous figure.)
Release the button when the dump body is fully lowered. Place dump body
controller in the storage or travel location. Close and lock battery box.
! WARNING
Fully raising the loaded dump body may result in the tow vehicle
rear wheels loosing traction.
Do not fully raise a loaded dump body or place the entire load at
the rear of trailer.
