Tip: Give the Dump 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 handle again and then lower the Tilt Bed back down until the Dump Lever locks into place. 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 before dumping to reduce the tipping effort.
