6. Unlock spreader gate.
^ WARNING
Loaded materials can exert pressure
against the spreader gate.
This may cause the spreader gate to swing
out with force when unlocked, causing
serious injury.
Stand on the side of the trailer to unlock
spreader gate.
7. Open the battery box and support lid with prop
rod.
8. Locate the dump body controller. While using the
dump body controller, position yourself in a safe
location clear of the dump body. Check for overhead
power lines and other obstructions before raising
dump body.
^ DANGER
A lowering or falling dump body can result
in death or serious injury.
NEVER enter the area under the dump
body unless the empty dump body is
supported by the body prop.
^ DANGER
The body prop is designed to support an
empty dump body only.
NEVER support a loaded dump body by
the body prop.
Unload the dump body before using body
prop.
^ WARNING
Electrocution hazard.
Dump body coming near or contacting
power lines can cause electrocution.
Electrocution can occur without contact.
Verify there are no overhead power lines
over or near the trailer before raising dump
body.
9. Press and hold button to raise the dump body.
Release the button when the body has reached
approximately the halfway point of its dumping
angle, or if the load begins to shift rearward. Never
leave the dump body control when operating the
dump body.
^ 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.
10. 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.
11. 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 body and dislodge the material by hand.
12. 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.
13. Stop tow vehicle after all material has exited the
dump body.
14. Press and hold button to lower the dump body.
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.
