AUSA 150DH, 150DF, 150DG, 150DA, 120DH Operators Manual – Factory Specs for Dumpers

If you’re working on an AUSA dumper and you don’t have the factory book, you’re guessing. Guessing gets you a blown motor or a wrecked final drive. I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. That is why you buy the factory manual. This AUSA 150DH, 150DF, 150DG, 150DA, 120DH Operators Manual is the original document that came with the machine – 71 pages of what the manufacturer expects the operator to know. No aftermarket rewrite, no missing pages.

Page 5 of the manual starts with the prologue: it tells you this dumper was built for profitability, safety, and comfort. Then it says, very clearly, that any incident from bad operation is the user’s responsibility. That kind of language matters when the owner tries to blame a neglected fluid level on the machine. The book covers start-up, driving, maintenance, and storage. If you skip the prologue, you miss the part about modifications requiring factory authorization. That is the kind of detail that keeps you out of liability court.

5 Models Covered: 150DH, 150DF, 150DG, 150DA, 120DH

This manual fits five specific AUSA models: the 150DH, 150DF, 150DG, 150DA, and the 120DH. The 108DH family also appears in the header of some pages, but the core content is written for the 150 and 120 series. If you own a 150DH with a different suffix, check the serial number against the listing. The manual is in French – the original language for this document – but the diagrams, symbols, and numbers are universal. A torque spec in Newton-meters is the same in any language. You can convert to foot-pounds yourself if needed.

Prologue: Start-Up and First Steps

The prologue on page 5 is not fluff. It explains how to interpret directional references: forward, backward, left, right – all from the driver’s seat while moving forward. That might sound obvious, but I’ve had guys flip a dumper because they forgot which way the steering arm turns. The book also stresses that street use requires modifications to meet local traffic codes. Most owners skip that, then get pulled over. The manual tells you what is required. Follow it.

Operation and Driving – From Ignition to Shutdown

The manual walks through daily checks, starting procedure, driving on slopes, and parking. It tells you how to engage the load bucket and dump it safely. If you are new to dumpers, this section keeps you from tipping over. For experienced operators, it reinforces habits that save clutches and axles. I always tell the junior guys: read the operation section before you move the machine. It takes ten minutes and prevents a five-hour repair.

71 Pages: What You Actually Get

71 pages might not sound like a lot, but every page is dense. There are no blank pages or filler photos. The manual includes a maintenance schedule, fluid specifications, safety decal locations, and storage instructions. It does not include engine overhaul procedures – that is a service manual job – but it tells you when to change the oil and what grade to use. That alone can extend the life of your Deutz or Kubota engine by years. See also the AUSA CH-130 CH-130 4×4 CH-150 CH-150 4×4 Operators Manual if you need the bigger chassis manual.

Why an Operators Manual Beats Aftermarket Copies

Third-party print shops sometimes re-paste old scans and sell them as “reproductions.” Those often miss pages or have blurry torque diagrams. This is the actual factory PDF – the same file the dealer would give you. The original file name is Ausa_150DH-150DF-150DG-150DA-120DH_Operators_Manual_fr-16231009936.pdf. That unique ID traces back to AUSA’s documentation system. If you want to understand how a manual transmission interacts with the driveline on these dumpers, check out Manual Transmission basics elsewhere, but the factory manual is the only source for AUSA-specific adjustments.

For related manuals in the same family, consider the Ausa D 201 Operator’s Manual and the AUSA CH 200 / CH 250 Operators Manual. Each covers different model ranges but shares the same factory layout and strict spec standards.

Get the Right Maintenance Intervals

The maintenance schedule is not a suggestion. It lists hourly intervals for engine oil, hydraulic oil, final drive oil, and grease points. If you run the machine in dusty or heavy-load conditions, the manual tells you to shorten those intervals. That is the kind of information that separates a ten-year dumper from a three-year one. The manual also includes basic troubleshooting – what to do if the engine won’t start or the dump bed sticks. Those troubleshooting trees are direct from AUSA’s engineering team, not a generic checklist.

Does this manual include torque specs for major bolts?

No. This is an operators manual, not a service manual. It covers operation and routine maintenance. Torque values for head bolts or wheel lugs are in the service manual.

Is the manual in English?

This specific copy is in French. However, the diagrams, numbers, and symbols are language-independent. If you need an English version, check the listing or contact us. Many AUSA operators manuals were originally issued in Spanish or French, but the data is still factory-correct. You can use a translator app for the few paragraphs of text. The safety warnings are mostly pictograms.

Here is the bottom line: you want your AUSA dumper to run safely and last. You write the maintenance schedule on the wall, or you bookmark these pages. Access the Factory Manual and put it in the glovebox. Your machine – and your wallet – will thank you.
