good condition.
¾ Always have the floor lock engaged solidly with the floor surface when the dumper is in operation.
¾ Verify that the tote is engaged and held securely by the dumper before proceeding to raise the
tote.
¾ Always watch the dumper and the tote carefully when the dumper is in operation.
¾ Stand away from the side of the dumper when it is in operation. Stay clear of any potential pinch
and shear points.
¾ Be alert to the possibility of splashing or flying material when dumping loads.
¾ Do not use the dumper if any damage or unusual noise is observed.

non-synthetic automatic transmission fluid.
