tailboard hinging from the top, lower the body fully and clear the
obstruction. Do not continue to tip when a jam occurs.
Bottom Hinged / Tipover mode:
Always ensure that there is sufficient clearance for the tailboard to
hang without touching the ground, a minimum of 12" (300mm) is
recommended with the Tailboard in the lowered condition – body fully
laden and in the lowered position.
If a tow bar has been fitted, ensure that the tailboard has been fitted
with a protective guide (see Towing) to prevent it from jamming on the
tow hitch. If a guide is not installed the tailboard may be damaged.
