 Pre-Operation Inspection

1. Before starting the vehicle, conduct a comprehensive inspection to eliminate potential safety hazards and ensure normal operation:
2. Exterior & Chassis: Check the tire pressure and wear condition, ensure wheel nuts are fastened; inspect the cargo box for cracks, deformation or residual materials; check the hydraulic cylinder and pipeline for oil leakage; confirm all chassis bolts are tight and the ground clearance is normal.
3. Fluid Inspection: Check the levels of engine oil, coolant, fuel and brake fluid to ensure they meet the standard; drain the accumulated water in the fuel filter in time; inspect the hydraulic oil level and pipeline tightness.
4. Cab & Electrical System: Test the vehicle lights, horn, wiper and instrument panel display to ensure all electrical equipment works normally; check the airbag seat and suspension system for normal operation; confirm the parking brake is in effective braking state; open and fix the rear tailgate of the cargo box if necessary.

Vehicle Starting & Daily Driving

1. Insert the key, turn to the "ON" position, wait for the vehicle self-inspection to complete (no fault alarm), then turn to the "START" position to start the engine.
2. After starting, let the engine idle for 3–5 minutes to warm up, observe the instrument data (engine speed, oil pressure, water temperature) to ensure all indicators are normal.
3. Release the parking brake, fully depress the clutch, shift to the first gear, slowly release the clutch and step on the accelerator gently to start smoothly, avoiding violent acceleration and harsh gear shifting, especially when fully loaded to prevent drive shaft or tire slipping.
4. Maintain a stable speed during driving: the maximum speed on highways shall not exceed 80km/h, and the speed on rough construction sites shall be controlled within 40km/h. For long downhill sections, use low gears and engine brake to avoid frequent braking, which may cause brake failure.
5. When driving on muddy, snowy or slippery roads, turn on the differential lock to improve wheel grip and passability; avoid sharp turns at high speed to prevent rollover.

Standard Dumping Operation

1. Positioning & Parking: Drive the truck to a flat, solid and open area, keep the vehicle body horizontal, shift to neutral gear, and firmly pull the parking brake; for ramp parking, use wheel blocks to prevent slipping.
2. PTO Engagement: Keep the engine running, fully depress the clutch, and engage the power take-off (PTO) to make the hydraulic system enter the working state; confirm the PTO is engaged normally before proceeding to the next step.
3. Lifting & Dumping: Slowly release the clutch, push the hydraulic control lever upward to lift the cargo box evenly to the standard dumping angle (48–50°). During the whole process, ensure there are no personnel, obstacles or overhead obstacles (minimum clearance ≥6m) around the cargo box to avoid accidents.
4. Reset Operation: After the materials are completely unloaded, pull the hydraulic control lever down to lower the cargo box slowly until it is fully seated; fully depress the clutch to disengage the PTO, reset the control lever to the neutral position, and close the rear tailgate of the cargo box if necessary.

Post-Operation Maintenance

1. Clean the residual materials inside the cargo box and the dust on the chassis to prevent corrosion and material accumulation, which may affect the service life of the vehicle.
2. Check the levels of all oils and liquids again, replenish fuel, engine oil, coolant and hydraulic oil in time; check for oil leakage, air leakage and loose bolts, and tighten or repair them immediately if any problems are found.
3. Park the vehicle in a dry, ventilated and flat area, turn off the engine, pull the parking brake tightly, and put the gear in neutral.
4. Carry out regular maintenance according to the vehicle manual: replace engine oil, filter elements (air filter, oil filter, fuel filter) and hydraulic oil regularly, check the wear condition of tires, brake pads and transmission parts, and conduct comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the powertrain and hydraulic system to ensure the long-term stable and efficient operation of the vehicle.
