Discontinue pushing the up button and walk to the rear of the trailer so you
can estimate if there is enough space for the remainder of the load to be safely
dumped. If not, then you need to fully lower the dump body by pushing and
holding the down button (5) and then pull the trailer forward and then repeat
the previous step. See above figure.
Standing well clear of the dump body, raise the dump body to the three
quarter point of the maximum dump angle. Discontinue pushing the up button
and walk to the rear of trailer to check to see if there is enough space for
continued dumping.
Repeat the process until the load has been completely dumped.
If the load has not completely dumped DO NOT drive forward and stop quickly
to “shock” the load out of the body. Also DO NOT “jerk” the control button up
and down to dislodge the load. The proper procedure for a stuck load is to
lower the dump and dislodge the material by hand.
Press and hold the down button (5) to lower the dump body. See above figure.
Release the button when the dump body is fully lowered. Place dump body
control in the battery box. Close and lock battery box.
If the rear header at the top of the trailer was removed for unloading, it must
be installed before closing doors and towing trailer.
Close and latch rear doors.
