^ 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 and then pull the trailer forward and then
repeat step 7.
9. 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.
10. Repeat the process until the load has been
completely dumped.
11. If the load has not completely dumped 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 lower the dump and
dislodge the material by hand.
12. Press and hold the down button to lower the dump
body.
13. Release the button when the dump body is fully
lowered. Place dump body control in the battery
box. Close and lock battery box.
NOTICE
Prevent trailer damage.
Trailers equipped with a power down
hydraulic system can be damaged if the
down button is held after the dump body is
fully lowered.
Release down button when the dump body
is fully lowered.
^ WARNING

Battery box prop rod may contact battery
terminals, which may result in the battery
exploding.
Place battery box lid prop rod in retaining
clip.
Tongue Mounted Battery Boxes Only: When closing
the battery box lid, place the prop rod in the retaining
clip on the side of the battery box.
