personnel and damage to the equipment.

Traveling on Ramps
Reduce engine speed if necessary. Use low gear on
steep ramps. Don’t shift gears while traveling on the
ramp. If possible, always keep the bucket facing
downhill.

give loaded vehicles the right-of-way. Reduce speed

The accelerator pedal operates a spring-returned

rheostat controller attached to the engine ECM. This
control is infinitely variable between low idle and full

Brake Pedal
The brake pedal operates a hydraulic brake valve
which directs hydraulic oil through the all hydraulic
brake circuit to control the front and rear wheel brake
assemblies. In the brake system, hydraulic oil is
normally supplied to the brakes, keeping them open.
Pressing the brake pedal vents oil from the wheel-end
assemblies back to the hydraulic tank, and the springs
apply the brakes.

moving the lever to the left or to the right.
The bucket is not designed for the push plate to be
used for anything other than pushing the load out
against zero external resistance.
Caution The drivers hand should be removed
from the dump and hoist lever while
traveling to prevent accidental dumping
of a load.
N o t e After using the EOD function to dump a
load, the operator needs to insure the
push plate is fully retracted before the
machine is used to crowd the muckpile
again. This can be insured by observing
the push plate through the holes in the
back of bucket, or by listening for the
sound the hydrauic system makes when
the cylinders bottom out and relief valve

Fire Suppression Fire Suppression

System Components
1 2 3
The fire suppression system is designed to protect
specific fire hazard areas on the vehicle. It is intended
to supplement, not replace, a sound fire prevention
policy in the mine. Fire prevention depends on regular
inspection and maintenance of those areas on the
vehicle where a fire is most likely to start; the wheel
ends, the motor tub, the transmission, and the torque
converter. Daily shift maintenance should include the
cleaning of areas where flammable materials and
combustible debris may collect.

Emergency Use
To use, remove the safety pin and press the plunger.
When either actuator plunger is pressed it will
puncture the pressurized cartridge and release fire
suppression chemicals. The expellant gas pressure

The dry chemical tank contains a dry powder chemical

chemical until sufficient pressure has developed in the
tank. The expellant gas from the gas cartridge
pressurizes the dry chemical tank, causing the dry
chemical powder to act like a fluid. When the proper
pressure is reached, the disc ruptures, letting the gas/
dry chemical mixture flow to the nozzles.

• Carrying the boom in the down position provides
maximum visibility when traveling. Never travel

General Operating
Tips
The following will help you maximize safety and
productivity while operating the scooptram.

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 tires or ramming the ore pile. Applying
the correct amount of tractive power and bucket force
requires experience.

Keep the loading area clear of debris. Figure 4-41

damage to the under-carriage and tires.
N o t e If front and rear wheels are not in line,
there is less traction and vehicle may
jackknife.
Control the shape of the muck pile. Pick up the load
from the closest point first. Keep the pile square by
loading at different place each time. The bucket is
easier to load and you keep the sides of the pile
Figure 4-40 cleaned up.
Place bucket lip on the ground and approach the muck pile.

As you approach the ore pile, completely lower the

boom. Then lower the bucket tip to the ground.
Approach the pile in Low gear with the bucket just
touching the surface. The Boom Control Lever may be
placed in the float position.

only enough to keep the wheels pushing the vehicle

into the pile you can avoid spinning the wheels.

Figure 4-45
Do not spin the tires.

If wheels spin, ease up on the throttle. This causes

downward pressure on the front wheels.

Figure 4-42
Load from the nearest point of the pile.

As you start to penetrate the pile, your forward motion

will slow. At this time, accelerate to increase the
crowding action. Figure 4-46
Keep all wheels on the ground at all times.
Never put so much down-pressure as to lift the front
wheels off the ground. This is normally caused tipping Important When back scraping, never lift the

under carriage and differential.
When the bucket is loaded, tilt it back completely.
Shift to reverse and back away from the pile. Carry the
loaded bucket fully back and the boom lowered onto
the stops. With optional ride control, lift the boom 2-4
inches above the stops and turn the ride control switch
to the on position.
Figure 4-43
Do not lift the front wheels off the ground.

Never apply so much bucket life force as to raise the

rear of the vehicle off the ground. If this should occur,
back up a short distance and tip the bucket forward.
Continue to crowd until all forward motion stops. At
this point, reduce accelerator pressure to prevent tire Figure 4-47

tramming.

N o t e It is good practice to tilt the bucket

forward slightly and then back rapidly to
“shake down” the load. This will prevent
material from falling from the bucket
when traveling.

Figure 4-44
Do not overload the bucket and lift the rear tires.

With the proper use of the bucket controls and the

throttle, all four wheels have traction at all times. By
operating the bucket control lever back and forth, you
cause a prying action with the bucket. By accelerating

WARNING Towing this vehicle improperly can
cause serious injury or death. If this
vehicle is disabled, block the front and

tow the vehicle.
The following instructions are for moving the disabled
vehicle a short distance to a safe repair area. If you
must move the vehicle a long distance, transport the

Scooptram Safety During

Maintenance
• Do not make unauthorized modifications to this
scooptram. Before you drill holes, cut, or weld on
this scooptram, always contact your Atlas Copco
sales company or dealer for authorization first.
• If you must perform service under the scooptram,
always engage the parking brake and block the
front and rear of each wheel.
• When servicing the vehicle, always use the articu-
lation lock, whether the engine is running or not.
• Always consult the proper section of the service
manual before performing maintenance.
• Perform maintenance in a safe area away from
vehicle traffic, with a stable roof area and ade-
quate ventilation. The vehicle should be on level
ground when performing maintenance. Always
set up the vehicle properly before servicing.

An adequate supply of clean, filtered air is necessary

to maintain the correct fuel/air ratio required for a
clean burning engine. Free flow of air to the intake
must not be restricted in any way. The maximum
pressure drop through the intake system, at full throttle
and no load (approximately 2200 rpm) should not
exceed specified engine OEM recommendations.
Important Always service the air filter system
with the engine stopped. Dust and debris
entering the intake can damage the
engine.
Check the restriction indicator periodically throughout
each shift. As the air filter becomes clogged with dust,
the reading on the scale will increase. The filter should
be cleaned or changed when the restriction indicator
window shows Red. Reset the indicator when the
element is replaced, and after each reading.

The engine lubricating oil should be at the FULL

mark on the dipstick. To accurately check the oil level,
stop the engine and allow for the oil to drain off engine
internal parts (at least 20 minutes). This eliminates the
possibility of overfilling. When checking the oil level,
