Tipping
During the Tipping operation:
• Be vigilant and observe the operation closely.
• Never try to shake a stuck load free, lower body fully to manually remove
all or part of the load. Do not restart tipping until all personnel are clear
from the vehicle.
After the load has been Tipped:
• Clean the tipper bed with a broom to clear the floor of debris maintaining
the smooth surface, essential in allowing the load to slip when tipping.
• Brush off the body edges and generally clean around the bodyside
and / or tailboard apertures to ensure the side and tailboard can be
closed without jamming.
• If used on muddy/dirty sites, always wash down wheels, rear taillights,
license plate and lamps before joining the public highway. A potential
traffic offence will be created it the vehicle is driven with obscured lights
or license plate.
• Perform a visual check for damage.
• Reapply sheeting (if fitted) or fold, roll and store until required.
• Switch off hazard warning lights.
