PROPPING THE BODY OF A SERVICE HOIST UNIT
Operators MUST KNOW how to SAFELY prop up the unit’s body. You may need to prop the body up when you clean the
inside of the body or for maintenance or repair procedures. Observe and obey the following DANGER and WARNING notices
while you prop the body with the factory body props.
DANGER
Keep all parts of your body out from underneath the unit’s body and away from the cylinders when raising or lowering the
body. Serious injury or death will occur if the unit’s body suddenly lowers and traps a part of your body.
DANGER
The unit may roll when you raise the body on unstable or uneven ground and cause serious injury or death to you or
bystanders. Do not prop the body while the unit is on unstable or uneven ground. Clear the area of all people not necessary
for this procedure and set the unit on stable and even ground before you start this procedure.
WARNING
Interconnected body props are installed on the unit. Both props MUST be used.
WARNING
Never drive the unit with the body propped.
Empty body of all refuse before using body props.
Units manufactured after April 2009 have the manual override valve. If you have not experienced problems with the service
hoist, you may not need the override valve. If you have experienced problems with the service hoist, contact your Heil dealer
or Heil.
