WARNING
Before carrying out the load discharge operations ensure the following safety aspects
are observed:
Ensure the machine is standing on firm, level ground and there are no obstructions
above or to the rear before raising the body.
Ensure the rear door is fully open before raising a loaded body.
Ensure no-one is near the load discharge area when opening or closing the rear door.
Ensure the body rests on the auto prop when the body is left in the raised position, or
when working under the body or cowl.
Do not jerk or shake the vehicle in order to aid hopper discharge or drive with the
hopper raised.
Do not raise a loaded body on any gradient greater than 5% as stability could be
affected.
Do not tip the body when fully loaded to clear blocked inlet ducts. Tipping the loaded
body without opening the rear door could cause load movement and the vehicle to
become unstable.
A safety interlock prevents the body from being tipped without the handbrake being
applied.
