Operating Instructions

1. Articulated Steering: The minidumper features articulated joint steering. To steer the vehicle, simply turn the front section relative to the rear section. This design allows for high maneuverability and ensures all four wheels maintain ground contact on uneven terrain.
2. Tipping Trough Operation: The orange tipping trough can be rotated and tilted to dump its contents. Manually lift the trough to tip materials. The trough can also be rotated horizontally to dump materials to the side.
