3. Operating Instructions
Operating the Man TGA Construction Truck:
- Folding Down Sides: To fold down the sides of the truck bed, gently unlatch and lower the desired side panels. This allows for multi-directional loading and unloading.
- Tipping the Bed: To tip the truck bed, release the latch mechanism located at the front of the bed. The bed can then be lifted to dump its contents. Ensure the bed is securely latched back into place after use.
Operating the Liebherr Excavator:
- Deploying Stabilizers: Locate the two support legs on the excavator's chassis. Extend these legs downwards to provide a stable base for operation.
- Arm and Bucket Control: The excavator arm is fully functional. Use the handle located on the arm to control its movement, including raising, lowering, and extending. The bucket can be manipulated to scoop and release materials.
- Cab Rotation: The excavator's cab body and arm can be rotated 360 degrees on the chassis, allowing for versatile positioning during digging and loading tasks.
