Swing Skip Elevation and Slewing
z Elevation of the skip is by means of a single double acting
ram.
z The slewing action is controlled by a dual axis control valve
- move the lever forwards and backwards to lower or raise
the skip, and sideways to slew skip left or right.
Anti Slew Skip Lock
z A locking device is used to locate the skip in the straight
ahead position when the skip is fully lowered. Before slewing
to the left or right, raise the skip slightly to clear the catch.
z To lock the skip in the straight ahead position, elevate the
skip until the skip slew lock clears the catch then rotate the
skip until the slew lock is directly above the catch and lower
the skip.
Straight Skip Elevation
The control lever will return to the neutral position automatically
if released.
z To tip skip, move control valve lever forwards.
z To lower the skip, move control valve lever backwards.
