Dumping
Tip: Give the Tilt Bed Handle a little shake after emptying the Collector Box to loosen up the remaining
material. Then drive forward about a foot with the Collector Box in the dump position. Shake the Tilt
Bed Handle again and then lower the Tilt Bed back down and secure the Dump Latch. This usually
gets all but a small amount of material to dump from the Collector Box. Clean or wipe away the
remaining material and you are ready to reinstall the Rear Panel.
Tip: For heavy loads, it may be necessary to manually remove part of the load to reduce the tipping effort.
