A FEW SIMPLE RULES WHEN SERVICING
(continued)
Be sure the rigid dump truck is in the "SERVICE
POSITION" before lifting or jacking up the rigid dump truck.
Always support an elevated rigid dump truck using proper
blocks and/or cribbing before beginning work on it.
Be sure the body prop cable is installed when working
beneath a raised dump body.
Inspect certain parts periodically and repair or replace as
necessary. Refer to the section discussing that part in this
section of the manual.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed.
Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
Take care to ensure that hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and
hair do not become entangled when working around
rotating parts.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry when working
on a rigid dump truck.
When cleaning parts, always use nonflammable detergent
mixed with steam or high pressure water. Never use highly
flammable fluids such as fuel oil or gasoline to clean parts
or surfaces. Control wash water runoff (waste) and dispose
of properly following local environmental rules.
Sufficiently illuminate the work site. Use a maintenance
work light when working under or inside the rigid dump
truck.
Always use a work light protected with a guard. In case the
light bulb is broken, spilled fuel, oil, antifreeze fluid, or
window washer fluid may catch fire.
Polymer materials such as rubber and certain kinds of
plastics can, when heated, give off gases that may be
dangerous to health and environment.
• Do not weld or cut near polymer materials without first
having protected them from the heat.
• Never burn polymer materials when scrapping them.
