For beginners, special attention is indeed needed when operating a dump truck to avoid potential safety risks and vehicle damage. The following are the top 10 taboos in operating a dump truck. Novices must keep them in mind.

1.Overloading is strictly prohibited: The loading of dump trucks should be strictly controlled within the rated capacity. Overloading will lead to a decline in the braking performance of steel plates and increase the risk of accidents.

2. Do not leave the control device during the lifting process: Throughout the entire process of lifting and lowering the carriage, the operator must always stay beside the control device to be ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.

3. Do not drive when the vehicle is lifted: It is strictly prohibited to drive when the vehicle is lifted to prevent serious accidents such as overturning.
4. It is strictly prohibited to suddenly push the lifting handle to the "descent position" during the process of fully loaded lifting: If the lifting handle is suddenly pushed to the "descent position", the vehicle body will suddenly rush down, causing a huge impact force on the frame and possibly leading to an accident.

5. Do not lift the vehicle or brake it suddenly to unload: Lifting the vehicle or braking it suddenly to unload will generate a huge inertial force, leading to serious consequences such as permanent deformation of the frame, weld separation between the cargo compartment and the subframe, and burnout of the oil pump.
6. Failure to confirm surrounding safety before unloading: Before unloading, it is necessary to confirm that there are no people on both sides and the rear of the vehicle, and ensure that the lifting limit device is in good condition to prevent accidents.

7. Lifting operations must not be carried out on loose soil or tilted roads: Lifting operations on such roads may cause vehicle instability and lead to accidents.

8. Driving without disengaging the power take-off: After unloading the goods, the power take-off of the dump truck must be disengaged first. Otherwise, during driving, the power take-off will remain in a "engaged" state, causing the lift oil pump to run at high speed for a long time, damaging the oil seal of the oil pump, and even leading to the serious consequence of the oil pump "burning out".

9. Unloading sticky goods by inertial "flashing" the vehicle compartment: This method can cause the tie rod to bend or damage the oil cylinder and other components, affecting the normal use of the vehicle.

10. Neglecting vehicle maintenance and inspection: Regular maintenance and inspection of dump trucks are the key to ensuring vehicle safety and extending their service life. Ignoring this point may lead to frequent vehicle malfunctions and increase the risk of accidents.
In conclusion, when operating a dump truck, beginners must strictly abide by the safety operation procedures and keep in mind the above 10 taboos to ensure driving safety and the normal use of the vehicle. At the same time, it is recommended that beginners, after getting familiar with and understanding the user manual, operate under the guidance of experienced drivers to gradually master driving skills and enhance safety awareness.
