UNLOADING (Moving)
It is highly recommended a dozer be available
to keep dump entry and exit paths level during
stockpile operations.
1. When entering stockpile to dump, find a
level area that will not require any turning
once the dump has started.
2. The truck should be locked in first or
second gear.
3. Determine a safe ground speed for the
dump pass based on environmental/road
conditions, stockpile route, and appropriate
material flow to prevent trailer axle high
centering or hitch over oscillation;.
4. After the unit has entered the stockpile and
is locked in the correct gear and is in a
straight line with the desired ground speed
established, the dump doors can be opened
to an intermediate position.
5. When opening the dump doors they should
not be opened up all the way to keep
material from flowing underneath the
trailer tires. The doors should be opened
slowly by bumping the dump lever.
(Three to four bumps on the dump lever is
all that is required). Use intermediate door
position system if equipped
6. The operator should string out the load so
that the trailer doesn’t ride up on the coal
that is being dumped.
