Contents

Use the vehicle carefully and cautiously so as to avoid


endangering both yourself and your colleagues.
Once you have read these operating instructions carefully,
practise handling the machine in an open space where there can
be no danger to other persons or property.
The operating instructions must be kept with the machine. The
toolbox under the cowling is the intended storage place.
2.1 Safety rules

The drivers safety and that of the persons within his field of work
are dependent on the drivers skills. For this reason, he must know
the functions of the operating elements.

Each machine has its performance limits:

Before starting up the dumper, the driver must be acquainted with


its characteristics, in particular with the speed, the braking and
driving system, the steering and control levers, the safety
equipment and instructions, and the vehicles stability.

WARNING: The DUMPER is designed and built exclusively for


use with original working equipment or working
equipment approved by the manufacturer.

When driving on roads, the vehicle must be equipped according


to the road traffic regulations and comply with traffic legislation. If
it is not fitted with lighting, the vehicle may only be driven on
building sites or when visibility is sufficient.

Adjust your driving speed to local visibility conditions.

The speed of the vehicle must always be adjusted to the


conditions of the road and the ground and to visibility conditions.
Use assistance where road visibility is insufficient or in the case of
obstacles.
The dumpers speed must always be kept so low that the dumper
is safe against tipping over. This is particular the case on
uneventerrain, at the edge of pits, in curves and in the event of an
emergency braking.

Particular caution is required when working on slopes. On firm soil


the dumper may be driven up to an angle of 20% (1 in 5) in any
direction. If the wheels can be expected to sink in on one side, the
maximum angle is accordingly smaller. Angles above 20% may
only be driven when the vehicle is loaded with the hopper pointing
up the hill, i.e. in reverse when going downhill.

9707033_User manual_en
11
Contents

When travelling downhill at an angle of over 20 % with an empty hopper,


the hopper must be pointing downhill.

When leaving the vehicle


- Switch off the engine
- Remove the ignition key
- Secure against unauthorised use

Unauthorised persons are not allowed to use the machine.

With the exception of the driver, no-one is permitted to be on the dumper.


PASSENGERS PROHIBITED.

Use the towing ring provided to tow the vehicle.

Before starting work, ensure that the operating area, the steps and the
handles are free of oil, dirt, ice and loose objects.
Risk of injuries from slipping and the like.
Use the handles provided for climbing on and off.

Before and during work in the dark, check that the lighting equipment is
operating correctly.

Before starting the dumper, ensure that no children are in the area of
danger.

Only operate the dumper from the drivers seat.

Handle the dumper carefully and cautiously until you are fully familiar with
it.

Take note of all movements by machines and vehicles in your area of


work.

The area of risk (working area) must be kept free of persons.

Before starting the dumper, check that the cowling is closed and locked.

Use correct protective clothing:


Helmet
Working gloves
Solid working shoes
Reflective clothing
If necessary also
Ear protectors
Goggles and the like

When travelling downhill with a full hopper, travel slowly and reduce the engine
speed by slowly releasing the accelerator pedal. When the diesel engine is at
tick-over speed, the dumper is braked hydraulically. The centre of gravity of the
pay load moves forwards as a result of the incline. In the event of doubt, travel
downhill in reverse gear.

When parking, activate the hand-brake. If possible, do not park the dumper on
an incline. If this should be necessary, use a wheel chock or something similar.
When leaving the dumper, check that the hopper is in lowered position.

Avoid braking sharply or suddenly changing direction on wet, muddy or


slippery surfaces. Do not exceed the payload. (see adhesive label on the
middle of the hopper). With light and loose material, the max. pay load is
reached when the hopper is heaped full. When heavy material is loaded, the
hopper should only be filled up to the rim of the hopper. Do not permit the load
to project over the sides.

Keep the floor plates of the dump body clean to ensure that the bulk material
slips easily out of the dump body. Load only flowing material.
Lift sticking or frozen material only towards the front and with the dumper being
aligned straight in driving direction on even ground. Make sure that the material
is really coming off during dumping before the dump body is fully upright,
ohterwise the dumper may tilt.

Never drive too close to a pit since there is the risk that the edge of the pit will
collapse as a result of the wheel pressure. If the edge is sufficiently secured and
a barrier prevents the edge collapsing, the dumper may be driven closer to the
edge.

Never tip material into a pit in which people are present. If the driver cannot see
into the pit, he must be assisted by a person who can see into the pit.

Always ensure that the brakes are in perfect condition.

Diesel fuel is inflammable. Never refuel when the engine is running or


overheated or in proximity to an open flame.

The dumper may be operated only by sufficiently trained personnel authorized


by the construction company. The drivers must wear working clothes suitable
for building sites and all weather and must be familiar with the contents of this
instruction manual. If the dumper is driven on public roads, the driver must have
the relevant driving licence and the vehicle must be approved for road traffic
use.
Check if the traffic equipment and the lighting system are working properly.

Contents

It is forbidden to drive with the bucket raised or slewed. Only load a


flowing load material. It is forbidden to empty sticky or frozen material
lateral or when the dumper is located at an angle across a slope (see
adhesive label on the middle of the dashboard).

CAUTION: Danger of tipping

The sign OUT OF ORDER must be attached clearly visibly and legibly
on a vehicle during repairs or on adjustments.

It is forbidden to open the cowling when the engine is running.


There is a risk of injuries from rotating parts and a risk of burns.

Inform yourself about first aid measures and the location of the
- First-aid box
-Fire extinguisher

Where are the security devices in and on the vehicle?


- What is their purpose?
- How are the operated?
- Are they in working order?

When changing engine oil, use a large collection tank. This prevents oil
escaping and damaging the environment.

Maintenance work should only be carried out when the motor is switched
off. Remove the ignition key. In the event of a risk of rolling, the wheels
should be secured with chocks. In the case of water-cooled engines, the
filler stopper for the radiator should only be half opened when the engine
is warm; this allows the steam pressure to escape. Only then may the
stopper be completely opened.

The battery cables must be disconnected (minus cable first) when


working on the electrical system or carrying out welding work.

Before starting up the machine, check the steering and brakes for defects
and proper operation.

If substances harmful to the environment and/or persons escape from the


dumper, the necessary measures must be taken immediately (e.g. if
hydraulic oil escapes: apply oil bonding agent, place collection tank
underneath, have the leak stopped, if necessary remove contaminated
earth and dispose of appropriately).
2.2 Use

The compact dumper is suitable and designed for the transport of the
usual bulk goods arising on building sites and for concrete.

4.2 Drivers seat + rollover bar + overhead guard Dumper 2001

The drivers seat is fitted with the following adjustment


possibilities to adjust sitting position:

CAUTION: Only adjust the seat when the vehicle is at a


standstill!

Standard drivers seat

Longitudinal adjustment of seat position


Raising the front left lever (14, see operating equipment, Sec.
4.1) can be used to adjust to adjust the seat horizontally
(forwards and backwards). If the lever is released, it catches in
one of the lock-in positions provided.

Weight adjustments
The weight is adjusted by turning the hand screw on the rear of
the seat back. An indicator on the rear serves as check, and
should point to zero when the seat is under load.

Drivers seat with ROPS roll bar

National regulations may require the presence of a roll bar.


In this case, the standard drivers seat must be replaced by a
seat fitted with a lap seat belt (to ISO 6683).

The seat is horizontally adjusted by raising the lever


(14, see operating equipment, Sec. 4.1) at the front and by
shifting the seat.

The weight setting is by means of a crank. The drivers


weight set is shown in a display window.

The height of the seat can be adjusted by pushing the lever


behind the back of the seat upwards.
Overroll Bar ROPS

When the overroll bar is swing open on the dumper, the


seat belt provided at the seat must always be fastened.

The seat belt must not be used without the overroll bar.
Overhead guard FOPS

Where the dumper may be exposed to falling debris hazards,


the overhead guard must be fitted. The guard is fitted to the
ROPS bar.

6 Loading and transport

Unladen dumpers can be driven backwards slowly over a loading ramp


onto the lorry or trailer, or can be loaded using a crane (see Sec. 5 Lifting
the dumper). The dumpers engine must be switched off.

Tie the dumper tightly to the loading surface. There are two rings located
on the front frame of the dumper and a bolt on the rear frame for this
purpose.

7 Towing device

The dumper is equipped with a towing device but is not a tractor machine
and cannot be used as such on difficult terrain.
If the dumper is used for towing on the building site, the bucket must
contain a ballast amounting to 25% of the working load. However, the
device towed plus the ballast in the bucket must not exceed the
dumpers working load. The towing bolt of the towing device must be
secured using a locking key.

WARNING: Load material only with the skip and the dumper in a straight
position! Damage may result if the loader unit hits the skip!

9707033_User manual_en

Contents
8 Loader unit (2001 SLE)

The loader unit has been designed for raising loose material up to
300 kg.
The 2001 SLE is not suitable for excavating or pushing heavy material.
Bear in mind the following when using the 2001 SLE:
Skip must be lowered when loading.
Always lower the loader unit before dumping out or rotating
the skip.
Do not use the loader unit on slopes.
Other persons must stay clear of the dumper when working
Bucket must be in a horizontal position when pushing or
picking up material (see mark on bucket ram).
Dumper must be in a straight position when pushing or
picking up material (no steering).
Never use the loader unit as a crane.
Lower the bucket onto the skip when driving the dumper.

Warning: Load material only with the skip and the dumper
in a straight position!
Damage may result if the loader unit hits the
skip!

Bucket teeth towards the rear side of the skip. Avoid


dumping out the bucket too fast otherwise the material can
be thrown beyond the skip. Empty the bucket slowly! (lever
to the left) Check whether the loader unit is lowered before
rotating the skip. The skip can be dumped out to the right or
left, or to the front through the lowered arms of the loader
unit. Avoid dumping material onto the loader unit. Raise the
bucket only with the skip in a lowered and straight position.
For light grading work, empty the skip and rotate it to the
side if it is not required for working. This gives you good
visibility of the bucket. Reverse when grading, and press
and hold the lever downwards and to the front (no float
position).

The bucket has not been designed for transporting


material. No excavating!

The bucket of the 2001 SLE is not comparable with


a wheel loader bucket.

9707033_User manual_en

Contents

Information on working with the loader unit

The loader unit bucket is no earthmoving tool! Load only bulk material.
The loader unit has not been designed for higher forces.
Always engage 1st speed and do not steer the wheels when driving
against a pile of material. Always move the bucket flat on the ground
before picking up material.

When penetrating into a pile with the bucket, fully dump in the bucket
(lever to the left). Avoid spinning the wheels: this can cause damage to
the drive, or the wheels to dig into the ground on loose ground.

Raise the bucket out of the material (lever to the rear). If there is too much
material in the bucket, reverse a little to remove a little material from the
bucket.

Raise the bucket until you can see it over the front edge of the skip.

Avoid losing material by carefully dumping out the bucket (lever to the
right) and by raising the whole loader unit at the same time (lever
diagonally to the rear right).

Keeping the bucket in a parallel position requires a little practice.

12 Driving the dumper

1. Release the hand-brake by pulling up the lever to unlock it and


then pushing it forwards.

2. Select the desired direction using the direction switch.

3. After selecting direction, accelerate, and the dumper will begin to


travel once the motor speed reaches approx. 1300 rpm.

4. If the accelerator is released, the dumper brakes automatically


until it comes to a stop. Accelerating and releasing the accelerator
should take place slowly in order to avoid jerky travel of the
dumper.

5. For quick deceleration actuate the brake pedal.

6. Use the hand-brake to stop the dumper on an incline.

7. Do not change direction of travel (forwards-reverse) while moving.

8. Observe the control lamps during operation. If a control lamp


should light up, bring the vehicle to a standstill and determine the
cause.

9. In emergencies, use the hand brake.

10. Travel slowly on difficult terrain.

WARNING: The safety instructions on driving, in particular on sloping


terrain, must be complied with!

WARNING: Point 5. is only for the Dumper 2001

Only for dumper 2001


If the cooling water temperature is less than 5C the cold starting unit of
the diesel engine is active. This unit causes a reduction of white smoke
and pollutant emission. While this function is active the diesel engine runs
at a higher engine speed. As soon as the cooling water temperature
exceeds 5C the cold starting unit is switched off automatically and the
engine speed is lowered to normal level.
WARNING: Always let the dumper warm up until the diesel engine has
reached its operating temperature. If the dumper is started without this
warm-up period it may drive off automatically upon loosening of the
parking brake!

4.4 The machine operator must stop working with the earthmoving machine if persons fail to leave the
hazard zone despite a warning.

4.5 No person may have access to the pivot range of earthmoving machinery with centre pivot
steering when the engine is running.

4.6 An adequate safety clearance (min. 500 mm) must be kept from fixed components, e.g. structures,
quarry faces, scaffolding or other machines, to prevent the risk of crushing.
4.7 If the safety clearance cannot be observed, the area between fixed components and the operating
range of the earthmoving machine must be closed off.

4.8 If the machine operator has a restricted view of his driving and operating area due to deployment-
induced influences, he must be assisted by a marshaller or the driving and operating area must
be secured by a fixed barrier.

5 Stability

5.1 Earthmoving machinery must be used, driven and operated in such a way that its stability or its
security against overturning is guaranteed.

5.2 The machine operator must adapt the travelling speed to local conditions and keep the operating
device as close as possible to the ground when driving over sloping or uneven terrain.

5.3 In the case of earthmoving machinery fitted with additional stabilising devices to increase stability,
the manufacturers operating instructions must be observed.

5.4 Earthmoving machinery must be kept sufficiently far away from the edge of quarries, trenches,
stockpiles and slopes to prevent any risk of overturning.

6 Operation

6.1 General

6.1.1 Machine operators must be appointed by the contractor to operate or service the earthmoving
machine.

6.1.2 Operating devices (adjusting components) may be activated only by the operator or from the
operators console.

6.1.3 The steps and areas provided must be used for access to the machine. They must be kept in a
non-slip state.

6.1.4 For earthmoving machinery fitted with quick-change devices for mounting and discharging the
operating device, of which locking mechanism is not clearly visible from the operators workplace
(design, soiling), the following additional safety measures are essential:

- The firm fit of the operating device at the connection of the quick-change device must be
controlled directly by the operator or another person.
- If this is not feasible, the operating device must be lifted only to such an extent that the firm fit
can be checked by rearward tilting and dumping.

All persons must keep out of the hazard zone during this test run.

6.2 Transport of persons

6.2.1 Apart from the machine operator, no persons may be transported on earthmoving machinery
unless special places have been provided for this purpose by the manufacturer.

These special places must be equipped with fixed seats and securing devices to prevent
persons from falling from the earthmoving machine.

6.2.2 No one may mount or alight from earthmoving machinery except with the prior consent of the
machine operator and when the machine is stationary.

6.3 Driving

6.3.1 Prior to starting up the earthmoving machine, the operators seat, the mirror and the adjustable
parts must be set in such a way as to ensure operational safety.

6.3.2 The safety belt must be applied when earthmoving machinery is fitted with a ROPS system or a

Safety instructions

6.3.4 Cold-start aids (ether) must not be used near sources of heat or open flames or on poorly
ventilated premises.

6.3.5 The roadways must be designed so as to ensure smooth, safe operation, i.e. they must be
adequately wide with the lowest possible gradient and laid on a base with a good bearing
capacity.

6.3.6 The bearing capacity of bridges, basement ceilings, vaulting etc. must be checked before driving
over them.

6.3.7 The clearance dimensions of underpasses, tunnels etc. must be checked prior to driving into
them.

6.3.8 On high gradients and slopes, the load must be kept towards the incline if possible to increase
stability.

6.3.9 The engine must not be out of gear when driving downhill. Prior to driving down the slope, the
gear suited to the terrain must be selected and no gear change made while driving downhill.

6.3.10 Slopes on driveways must be designed to ensure that earthmoving machinery can be safely
braked.

6.3.11 Extensive reversing should be avoided.

6.3.12 Earthmoving machinery must not be driven on the public highway unless an operating and driving
licence compatible with the national traffic legislation is available.

6.3.13 Outside the public transport area, e.g. on construction sites, traffic regulations should be applied
analogously. This point should also be taken into account there with respect to the driving licence.

6.4 Loading, unloading

6.4.1 The machine operator must not swing the operating devices across occupied driving, operating
and working places of other machines unless they are secured with fall-over protective structures
(FOPS).

6.4.2 If the required protection above the drivers cab is not present, the driver of that vehicle must
leave the drivers stand when swinging across it is necessary.

6.4.3 The vehicles must be loaded in such a way that they are not overloaded and cannot lose any
material while being driven. They must be loaded from the lowest possible height.

6.4.4 The unloading locations must be designed to ensure that extensive reversing is avoided as fast
as possible.

6.4.5 Earthmoving machinery must not be operated at dumping sites unless appropriate measures have
been taken to prevent inadvertent movement or overturning.

Safety instructions

6.5 Marshallers

6.5.1 Marshallers must be clearly recognisable, e.g. through special clothing. They must be within the
visual range of the machine operator.

6.5.2 During their marshalling activity, marshallers must not be given other tasks which might distract
them from their functions.

6.6 Deployment with risk of falling objects

6.6.1 When there is a risk of heavy objects falling, earthmoving machines must not be used unless their
operators stand is fitted with a protective roof (FOPS); in the case of excavators a protective
windscreen (FGPS) must also be present.

6.6.2 Close to earth and rock walls, excavators should be set up and operated in such a way that the
operators stand and the steps leading to it are on the side of the earthmoving machine away from
the wall.

6.6.3 Demolition work must not be done with earthmoving machinery unless it is assured that persons
are not at risk.

6.6.4 Prior to carrying out demolition work with excavators, e.g. demolishing with demolition pendulums,
the weight of the pendulum must be coordinated with the load capacity of the machine and the
boom length.

6.6.5 The highest point of the operating device of the earthmoving machine should be above the
component to be demolished.

6.7 Operation in areas carrying underground lines

6.7.1 Prior to carrying out excavation work with earthmoving machinery, a check must be made in the
area to be excavated for underground lines which might present a risk to persons.

6.7.2 If underground lines are present, their location and course must be determined by agreement with
the owner or operator of the line and the necessary safety measures must be stipulated and taken.

6.7.3 The course of lines in the construction site zone must be clearly marked under supervision prior to
earthmoving work being commenced. If the location of lines cannot be determined, exploratory
trenches must be dug, if necessary by hand.
6.7.4 If underground lines or their protective coverings are contacted or damaged inadvertently, the
machine operator must stop work immediately and notify the supervisor.

6.8 Operation close to overhead electric lines

6.8.1 When working with earthmoving machinery close to overhead electric lines and contact lines, a
safety clearance dependent on the voltage rating of the overhead line must be kept between such
lines and the earthmoving machine and its operating devices to prevent a voltage transfer. This
also applies to the clearance between such lines and attachments or slung loads.
9707033_User manual_en

-A6-
Safety instructions

6.8.2 The following safety clearances are applicable in Germany:

Voltage rating Safety clearance


up to 1000 V 1.0 m
more than 1 kV to 110 kV 3.0 m
more than 110 kV to 220 kV 4.0 m
more than 220 kV to 380 kV
or for unknown voltage rating 5.0 m

6.8.3 All working movements of earthmoving machinery, e.g. the boom positions, the swinging of
cables and the dimensions of slung loads must be taken into account, as must ground
irregularities through which the earthmoving machine is tilted and thus comes closer to overhead
lines.
Wind may make overhead lines and operating devices swing out, reducing the clearance.

6.8.4 If adequate clearance from electrical transmission lines and contact lines cannot be maintained,
the contractor must implement other safety measures against voltage transfer by agreement with
the owner or operator of the lines. This may be done, for example, by

- switching off the current,


- moving the overhead line,
- cabling or
- limiting the working range of earthmoving machinery.

6.8.5 In the event of a voltage transfer, the following rules must be observed:

- Do not leave the operators cab.


- Warn other persons not to approach or touch the machine.
- If possible, bring the operating device or the entire earthmoving machine out of the hazard
zone.
- Have the current switched off.
- Never leave the machine until the contacted/damaged line has been switched off.

6.9 Operation below ground and in enclosed areas

If earthmoving machinery is used below ground or in enclosed areas, adequate ventilation must
be provided and the valid regulations must be observed.

6.10 Stoppages

6.10.1 Prior to breaks or finishing work, the operator must move the earthmoving machine to level ground
with an adequate bearing capacity and secure it from movement.

The operating devices must be set down or secured in such a way that no inadvertent movement
is possible.
