Positioning
Important Improper positioning decreases the wheel
chock’s effectiveness.
Wheel chocks must be used in pairs and positioned
downhill and below the vehicles centre of gravity.
This could mean:
• chocking in front of the front wheels if the vehicle
is disabled while tramming down a decline.
• chocking the back of the rear wheels if the vehicle
1250 0235 58
is disabled while tramming up a decline.
• chocking the front and back of one wheel if the
direction of the grade cannot be determined. Chock front wheels on each side
• using 2 pairs of wheel chocks in severe conditions.
Considerations
Chocks must also be positioned snugly and squarely
against the centre of the tyre tread. There are many considerations that must be taken into
account before implementing chocking procedures.
L e v e l g ra d e If wheel chocks are expected to hold on a specific
grade, then all of the variables that may affect the
chock’s performance must be taken into account:
• Tyre size
• Tyre type (pneumatic, radial, bias-ply, solid rub-
ber, etc.)
• Gross vehicle weight
1250 0235 56
Mechanical Failures
If a mechanical failure occurs while operating
the vehicle, stop immediately. If the brakes do not
function, apply the parking brake. If the vehicle still
does not stop, steer the vehicle against a wall.
Tramming on Ramps
Reduce the engine speed as necessary. Engage a low
gear on steep ramps. Do not change gear while
tramming on the ramp.
Vehicle Right-of-Way
Note Local traffic regulations always take priority.
Because unloaded vehicles are easier and safer to stop,
give loaded vehicles the right-of-way. Reduce speed
and sound the horn before turning blind corners.

Bucket
Crowd Loading
Combining the traction of the vehicle with the power
of the bucket is known as crowd-loading.
The goal is to load the bucket in a single pass without
spinning the wheels or ramming the muck pile.
Applying the correct amount of tractive power and
bucket force requires experience.
Keep it Clean
.
Left: wrong. Right: right.
Place bucket lip on the ground and approach the muck pile.
With the proper use of the bucket controls and the throttle
pedal, all four wheels have traction at all times. By
operating the bucket joystick back and forth, the operator
causes a prying action with the bucket. By accelerating
only enough to keep the wheels pushing the vehicle into
the pile the operator can avoid spinning the wheels.
Load from the nearest point of the pile.
When the bucket starts to penetrate the pile, Spinning the Wheels
the forward motion is slowed down. At this time,
accelerate to increase the crowding action.

Front Wheels are Raised Important When back scraping, never lift the front
wheels off the ground and pull ore under
the wheels. When the vehicle comes

Policy
• No more than 10% of the number of loads may
exceed the nominal tramming capacity by 10%.
• No single load may ever exceed the nominal

completed. Quantities of replenished lubricants and
fluids, pressure and flow readings, and total vehicle
operating time need to be documented.
Record all problems as they occur. Drivers should sign
and date forms and return them to the maintenance
manager for future reference.
Accurate maintenance records are a valuable tool for
building an overview of equipment condition on an
individual and fleet basis. Driver service reports help
to identify and evaluate vehicle operating cost,
and enable planning and scheduling to maximise
reliability and availability.

STEP 1 Allow the vehicle’s transmission to warm up
to normal operating temperature,
approximately 80 °C (176 °F).
STEP 2 Park the vehicle on a level surface.
STEP 3 Apply the parking brake.
STEP 4 Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL and run
the engine at idle speed.
STEP 5 With a qualified operator in the vehicle cabin,
check the transmission oil level.
Important The transmission oil level must be
checked at operating temperature,
approximately 80 °C. Operating
temperature is reached quickly by
performing a stall test. See “Converter
