10.5 Gear selector lever (7)
• The gear selector lever (7) controls the forward or
reverse movement of the machine.
• It is possible to choose between 3 forward gears and
one reverse gear using the gear selector lever (7).
10.6 Tilt lever (6) (Fig. 4)
Watch out for sudden changes in the centre of
gravity when tipping out!
Before starting work, always check that the trans-
port tray (4) is securely locked.
1. Pull the locking plate with the left hand in direction
A and unlock the tilt lever (6).
2. Pull the tilt lever (6) the right hand in direction B to
lift the transport tray. The hydraulic system works
and uses the hydraulic cylinder to lift the transport
tray (8). Once the transport tray (8) has been lift-
ed to the required position, pull the dumper lever
back to its original position and lock it securely
with the locking plate, as otherwise, the transport
tray (8) moves to the end position.
3. Pull the tilt lever (6) the right hand in direction C
to lift the transport tray (8). The hydraulic system
works and uses the hydraulic cylinder to lower
the transport tray (8). Once the transport tray (8)
has been lowered to the required position, pull the
dumper tilt lever (6) back to its original position
and lock it securely with the locking plate.
Release the operating lever in good time once the
transport tray (8) is in the relevant end positions. Oth-
erwise, you a risking overloading the hydraulic system.
10.7 Starting the engine (Fig. 1, 2)
Follow the procedure below for cold starting:
1. Turn the choke lever (17) on the engine to the fully
actuated position.
2. Set the throttle lever (1) on the top handle to the
half open position.
3. Switch the engine switch (19) on.
4. Pull the recoil starter cable (18) slowly several
times so that the petrol flows into the carburettor.
Then hold the starter handle and pull the cord
out a little until you feel resistance. Then pull the
cord out in one quick movement and let the cord
wind up again slowly. Do not let the cord recoil.
If necessary, pull the cord several times until the
engine starts.

5. Let the engine warm up for a few seconds. Then
gradually move the choke lever (17) to the "OPEN"
position. Restarting an engine that is already
warm from previous operation does not normally
require the use of the choke.
6. Set the throttle lever (1) on the top handle to the
half open position.
7. Once the engine is warm, hold the starter handle
and pull the cord out a little until you feel resist-
ance. Then pull the cord out in one quick move-
ment and let the cord wind up again slowly. Do not
let the cord recoil.
10.8 Operation
NOTE!
- Always release the clutch before starting.
- Always use the dumper with both hands.
- Change gear only when stationary.
- Never change gear on a slope.
1. After it has warmed up, pull the throttle (1) to in-
crease the engine speed.
2. Select the required gear and operate the clutch
lever (4) slowly. If the gear does not engage im-
mediately, release the clutch lever slowly and try
again. This sets the dumper in motion.
3. The dumper has steering levers on the handlebar,
which makes steering very easy. Simply operate
the relevant right or left steering lever to steer
to the right or left. The sensitivity of the steering
increases proportionally to the speed of the ma-
chine, and with the machine empty, only a slight
pressure on the lever is needed to make a turn.
However, when the machine is loaded, more pres-
sure is required.
m Attention
The dumper has a maximum capacity of 500 kg. How-
ever, it is recommended to assess the load and adjust
it according to the ground on which the machine is
used. It is therefore advisable to drive on such routes
in low gear and with extra caution. Keep the machine
in a low gear for the entire route in these situations.
Avoid sharp turns and frequent changes of direction
while driving on the road, especially on rough, hard
terrain full of sharp, uneven places with high friction.
