Description:
The tailboard is designed to operate in two different configurations dependant
upon the type of load, the configuration is determined by the operator prior to
tipping. The following guidelines are to enable the operator to identify and apply
the correct configuration before tipping.
Location:
The tailboard is mounted at the rear of the body, located by four latches/pivots.
Two positioned on the upper edge of the board, and two located on the lower
edge. The lower latch is remotely operated by a yellow handle mounted below
the tipper bed to the offside rear, behind the rear wheel fender.
Purpose:
