Wheel chocks.......................................................27

Never drive into water (river beds, ponds, flooded pits, ditches etc.) without knowing the ground surface and depth. The bottom can be slippery, obstacles such as rocks/holes and other dangerous areas can be difficult to determine, and the force of a river current can be substantial. If it is found to be safe, drive slowly to avoid splashing. Do not stop unless absolutely necessary. Be aware of reduced braking effect when brakes are wet. The brake linings must be checked/replaced more often when driving in wet and swampy areas, because wear of the linings will increase (see 500 hours service for procedure). The maximum wading depth is: 1.1 metres, i.e. up to the front fenders.

NOTE

Under no circumstances let water flow through the grill!

16.Dangerous loads

If the body is exhaust heated, dangerous loads such as explosives or inflammable materials like petrols, oils etc. must not be transported.

In some countries there may be special national regulations for transportation of dangerous loads.

To blind off the exhaust heating, do as follows:

•Always allow the dump truck to cool down before changing exhaust direction.

1.Remove the clamps on both the vertical exhaust pipe and the pipe which goes to the body. 2.Remove the plate which gives heating to the body (in the vertical exhaust pipe). 3.Remove the ring from the pipe which goes to the body and install it into the vertical exhaust pipe. 4.Install the plate which blind the exhaust to the body (in the pipe which goes to the body) 5.Refit the clamps.
