18 Do not check the operability of the system and electrical equipment circuits with the help of
megaohmmeter or a lamp fed from a source with a voltage higher than 24V.
19 Do not cut off the wires from the generator and battery terminals while the engine is
working.
20 Do not allow polarity reversal when connecting the storage batteries to the truck board
system.
21 While carrying out welding operations on the truck the batteries must be disconnected and
electrical wires and conduits of brake actuators must be protected from high (higher than 900С)
temperatures and weld spatters.
22 Starting of the truck engine from an external source or using of the truck board system as an
external source for starting of another truck are prohibited in order to avoid the breakdown of
electronic control units.
23 After lowering the cab make sure that locking mechanisms are locked.
24 The polarity of the batteries is to be strictly observed in order to avoid the breakdown of the
generator:
– minus (–) battery terminal through the right engine support to the truck body;
– plus (+) battery terminal through the battery switch to the starter terminal (plus).
25 While mounting electrical equipment onto the truck, when carrying out the works under the
truck, on the engine with the cab lifted, while hand cranking (in case the starter drive gear teeth are
stopped by the engine flywheel crown etc.), in case of emergency on the truck (short circuit,
electrical wire ignition etc.) the batteries should be disconnected).
26 Engine start with the cab lifted is prohibited. In case there is a necessity to start the engine
with a lifted cab for carrying out adjustments and repair works it is necessary to make sure that gear
box is in neutral position. Engine starting is to be fulfilled with the observation of the «Safety
rules».
27 In order to avoid untimely failure of the pressure regulator with the adsorber it is necessary
to watch the airtightness of the truck pneumatic systems.
28 During the movement of the vehicles (road trains) along the roads of general use, as well as
along the streets of cities and settlements the drivers should follow the requirements of the
normative documents valid for the country, that will set the allowances for weight and dimensions
and the rules of travel in case they are exceeded.
29 When the dump-truck platform and its trailer are loaded with bulk materials, the volume of
the excavator bucket should not be bigger than 2,5m3, and the dump height above the platform floor
– 1,5 m.
The load should be evenly distributed on the platform. In order to avoid platform damage and
load hanging-up during the unloading, separate monolithic blocks or frozen pieces of bulk material
shall not be bigger than 0,4 m and heavier than 300 kg.
30 Lifting of the loaded platform of the dump-truck with a faulty stabilizer of the transversal
stability in the rear suspension is not allowed.
31 Engaging of the platform lifting hydraulic system pump at the air pressure in the system
lower than 490 kPa and disengaged clutch is not allowed.
32 Unloading of the dump-truck and its trailer should be made on an even flat ground with a
hard surface. In case there signs of stability loss, stop the unloading immediately.
33 Start of the dump-truck movement with the platform lifted is not allowed.
34 It is prohibited to work under the lifted loaded platform.
35 When working under the lifted unloaded platform of a dump-truck, the platform must be
locked by special locking devices (safety stops) not to let its lowering.
36 If the load is not unloading when the platform is lifted at approximately 20º the platform
lifting should be stopped and the reason investigated.
